Chinese New Year 2049

Chinese New Year 2049 is on February 2, 2049, beginning the Year of the Earth Snake (己巳, Ji Si), which lasts until January 22, 2050. Until then it is still the Year of the Earth Dragon. In BaZi, which counts years from the solar term Start of Spring (Li Chun), the 2049 year begins on February 3, 2049 at 5:53 PM Beijing time (09:53 UTC). This lunar year has 12 months and no leap month.

2049 is mostly the Year of the Earth Snake (己巳), from February 2, 2049. Dates before then belong to the Year of the Earth Dragon.

In the Year of the Earth Snake, the signs traditionally said to be in conflict with Tai Sui, the year's ruling deity, are Snake (birth year), Pig (clash), Tiger (harm and punishment) and Monkey (punishment and break).

No. The lunar year beginning in 2049 has 12 months.

The Mid-Autumn Festival, the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, falls on September 11, 2049.

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.
