The beginning of the Korean zodiac is Ipchun. but, Korean mixed-used based on the Solar, and Lunar calendar systems.  

The beginning of the Korean zodiac is Ipchun. However, in Korea, both the solar calendar and the lunar calendar are used, and they are ultimately used in a mixed manner.

In the East, dates have been calculated based on the moon for a long time. Therefore, it is said that dates have been calculated based on the lunar calendar.

However, the Eastern and Western zodiac signs are symbolized and represented by different animals.

Interestingly, there are some animals in common, such as cows and goats, which can cause confusion, but in reality, the periods and dates that these animals symbolize are different.


In the meantime, there is the solar calendar based on the sun, and the lunar calendar based on the moon, and the year is divided into 24 solar terms based on the lunar calendar, and farming and other schedules are used according to the season.

Here, it is said that the zodiac sign is determined based on the year of one's birth. However, the reference point has become ambiguous.

In Asia and Korea,,
1. Do you find your zodiac sign based on the solar calendar?
2. Do you find your zodiac sign based on the lunar calendar based on the moon?
3. Or, do you find your zodiac sign based on the beginning of spring (입춘 the day spring begins), which is the starting point of dividing the year into 24 solar terms?

Although all three are still being used interchangeably,
the correct answer is said to be number 3.
