Chinese New Year 2029

Chinese New Year 2029 is on February 13, 2029, beginning the Year of the Earth Rooster (己酉, Ji You), which lasts until February 2, 2030. Until then it is still the Year of the Earth Monkey. In BaZi, which counts years from the solar term Start of Spring (Li Chun), the 2029 year begins on February 3, 2029 at 9:20 PM Beijing time (13:20 UTC). This lunar year has 12 months and no leap month.

2029 is mostly the Year of the Earth Rooster (己酉), from February 13, 2029. Dates before then belong to the Year of the Earth Monkey.

In the Year of the Earth Rooster, the signs traditionally said to be in conflict with Tai Sui, the year's ruling deity, are Rooster (birth year and punishment), Rabbit (clash), Dog (harm) and Rat (break).

No. The lunar year beginning in 2029 has 12 months.

The Mid-Autumn Festival, the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, falls on September 22, 2029.

Dates are computed astronomically, following the rules of the modern Chinese calendar (GB/T 33661-2017): days in China Standard Time (UTC+8), months starting on the day of the new moon, the winter solstice always in the eleventh month, and leap months placed in the first month without a principal solar term. Solar terms are the moments the Sun reaches each 15 degree point of its path, computed with the Astronomy Engine library. Years before 1929 used Beijing local time, so a handful of historical dates can differ by one day from older almanacs.
