Happy Lunar New Year-2021 Year Of The Ox

[rz]

I have a question for our Asian forumites. Let's say you were born in January, before the lunar new year. Am I correct in assuming that you're considered to be born in the year of whatever was the year prior? In other words, if 2020 was the year of the rat, and 2021 the year of the ox, if you were born in January if this year, you would say you were born in the year of the rat?
