My partner Lee ( femail ) was born on
January 28 1960, we are trying to
establish what her sexagenary and Kua
numbers are. Since the Chinese new
year began that day do we still have to
drop 1 from her birthdate.
Can sombody also confirm that she is a
Metal Rat and not a Tiger as she has
been told in the past.

Dear Carol,
You are absolutely correct.
28 Jan 1960 to 14 Feb 1961 = Year of the Metal-Rat
While:-
8 Feb 1959 to 27 Jan 1960 = Year of the Earth-Pig
15 Feb 1961 to 4 Feb 1962 = Year of the Metal-Ox
5 Feb 1962 to 24 Jan 1963 = Year of the Water-Tiger

and

Year of the Tiger only `arrived' on 5 February 1962.
Therefore based on your partner's Year of Birth, she was born in the Year of the Metal-Rat as mentioned by you.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
