Is the animal born on February 9, 2002 in December of the lunar calendar a snake or a horse?

On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, the horse is the zodiac in China.

1, the animal sign is divided by "beginning of spring" in the lunar calendar every year, not "Spring Festival" or "New Year's Day".

2. So being born around "beginning of spring" is two different animal signs.

3. The annual "beginning of spring" day is usually around February 4th in the solar calendar, so this day is the time to divide the zodiac.

Therefore, for example, people born before February 4th in the solar calendar this year are sheep, while people born after February 4th are monkeys.

Before the Republic of China, the zodiac was divided according to the Spring Festival. At that time, "Spring Festival" always referred to the annual "beginning of spring", but later Yuan Shikai changed the Spring Festival to the first day of the first lunar month, so the time of the Spring Festival has changed since then, but the division of the zodiac is still "beginning of spring".
