This date falls in the disputed window
It is after the Start of Spring but before the lunar new year, so the two conventions disagree: Loong by the solar-term rule used in divination, Rabbit by the festival rule. Printed tables usually show the second one.

Element balance of the eight characters
Two different “elements” are quoted for a birth year. The Water fate above is the traditional nayin (纳音) of the year pillar, which is what “Ever-Flowing Water” means in folk astrology. The colours and counts below come from the stem and branch of each pillar, which is the method used for a five-element reading.
- Wood 3
- Fire 0 · missing
- Earth 3
- Metal 2
- Water 0 · missing
Try another hour
Hour of birth changes the hour pillar, and after 23:00 it can move the day pillar too.
