2007 Fire Pig: A Mid-February Start
The 2007 Pig year did not begin until Feb 18, 2007. Anyone born between New Year’s Day and Feb 17, 2007 belongs to the Fire Dog year, so many January and February 2007 birthdays are Dogs, not Pigs.
At the other end, the year lasted until Feb 6, 2008; a New Year’s Day baby of 2008 is a Fire Pig. 2007 Pigs turn 19 in 2026 and 20 in 2027.
Born in January or Early February 2007?
The Chinese year does not start on January 1. Lunar New Year 2007 was on Sunday, Feb 18, 2007, so births before that date belong to the year before.
| Born | Sign | Year name |
|---|---|---|
| Jan 1 to Feb 17, 2007 | Fire Dog | 丙戌 |
| Feb 18, 2007 to Feb 6, 2008 | Fire Pig | 丁亥 |
So someone born on Feb 17, 2007 is a Fire Dog, and someone born on Feb 18, 2007 is a Fire Pig. Dates are in China Standard Time.
