Born on February 29? Here's your birth element
In the Korean birth chart, your birth element comes from the exact day you were born, not just the date on the calendar. That's why two people born on February 29 in different years can be completely different people. Find your year below.
Your birth month: the Tiger month
February 29 falls in the Tiger month (寅), early spring, when Wood is strongest. You were born as winter breaks and Wood wakes up. Tiger-month people tend to start things: new plans, new places, new people. At work you do best when you're allowed to go first.
February 29: your character by birth year
Your day mark is the center of the chart: the element you were born as plus an animal, one of 60 characters. Born after 11 PM? Use the next day's date. Your year animal changes in early February, so check the year column carefully.
