This is a very rare occasion where two holidays fall in one day. But it’s only the Chinese New Year that don’t have a fixed date because of the use of the Chinese (lunar) calendar to determine the Chinese New Year which is always between January 20 to February 20 of the Gregorian calendar each year. But for determining the Chinese zodiac signs of an individual, the start of the New Year always fall on the 4th day of February (Start of Spring – the first day of the Tiger month).
So for example you are born on February 12 on the year of the metal tiger, your zodiac sign is not Water Ox but Metal Tiger which is contrary to the popular belief of using the Chinese New Year to find the zodiac sign.
So whatever you are celebrating either Valentines Day or Chinese New Year, I wish you the best! Happy Valentines Day and Happy Chinese New Year to everybody!
