Time of Birth

Reference: http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=29786&new=

Hi!

I have read up a little on geomancy but am somewhat confused by what should rightfully be the correct date when it comes to someone born after 12am but before 12:59am.

Eg, someone born on the western date of 12th March 2000 12:30am, should he/she be considered to be born on the chinese date of 6th or 7th February?

Casually asking around, was somewhat told that it should be considered as 6th February since the sun has not yet risen for 7th February, thus its not a new day yet.

Appreciate your input on the above towards this confusion of mine.
