Cinnastro.comChinese Astrology“Your softness is not a smaller kind of strength.”
A 1955 birth makes you a Wood Goat — gentle, artistic, deeply feeling. As a Goat you lead with gentle and artistic; the wood element makes you growth-seeking and principled — you push upward, toward light. Born in 1955, you turn 71 this year.
When does the 1955 sign actually start?
The Chinese year doesn’t turn on January 1 — it turns at lìchūn (立春), the start of spring. In 1955 that fell on February 4, 1955 at 10:17 PM. Born on or after that moment, you’re a Wood Goat. Born before it — in January or early February 1955 — you belong to 1954, which makes you a Wood Horse. Your exact birth time settles it.
You were born on lìchūn day itself. The boundary fell at 10:17 PM — born before that minute you’re Wood Horse (1954); after it, Wood Goat. Only your exact birth time settles it.
