Born in January or early February 1975?

The saju year changes at Ipchun, February 4, 1975 at 19:59 Korea time. If you were born before that moment, your year pair is 甲寅: you belong to 1974, the year of the Wood Tiger.

Many zodiac sites switch the animal at Lunar New Year instead, which fell on February 11 in 1975, after Ipchun. So for birthdays from Ipchun until the day before February 11, saju already says Rabbit while those sites still say Tiger.
