Cinnastro.comChinese Astrology“You assume the best, and mostly the world rewards it.”
A 1959 birth makes you an Earth Pig — generous, sincere, indulgent. As a Pig you lead with generous and sincere; the earth element makes you steady and gathering — you are where others come to rest. Born in 1959, you turn 67 this year.
When does the 1959 sign actually start?
The Chinese year doesn’t turn on January 1 — it turns at lìchūn (立春), the start of spring. In 1959 that fell on February 4, 1959 at 9:42 PM. Born on or after that moment, you’re an Earth Pig. Born before it — in January or early February 1959 — you belong to 1958, which makes you an Earth Dog. Your exact birth time settles it.
You were born on lìchūn day itself. The boundary fell at 9:42 PM — born before that minute you’re Earth Dog (1958); after it, Earth Pig. Only your exact birth time settles it.
