Chinese animal of 12th march 1584

[LucasLenny]

Hello friends, i have a great doubt, What is the Chinese animal for those who have born in 12/03/1584? (March's 12th of the year 1584)

According to this they'd be a monkey, it was a 甲申猴年 https://www.smxs.com/mingli/bzzs_bzsm/99528.html https://baike.sogou.com/v7697839.htm?fromTitle=1584年

Apparently lunar new year was Feb 12 in the Western calendar that year so that should be right.

12 March 1584 corresponds to the 1st Day of the Second Month of the Lunar Calendar.

In Chinese genealogy this date of birth would be recorded as 生於萬曆十二年甲申二月初一日 i.e. "born on the first day of the second month in the 12th year of Wan Li era"

Wan Li is the reign period for Emperor Shen Zong 明神宗 during the Ming Dynasty.
