Today many people around the world celebrate Lunar New Year, also known as Chinese New Year or the Spring Festival. Rooted in centuries-old traditions, this vibrant holiday marks a fresh start, inviting prosperity and good fortune in the new year.
Based on the lunar calendar, the date of the holiday varies slightly each year, typically falling between late January and mid-February. Each year of the 12-year Chinese zodiac calendar is represented by an animal – rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig. Your zodiac animal is determined by your year of birth on the lunar calendar. This lunar year welcomes the Year of the Snake. According to the Chinese zodiac, those born in the year of the snake are said to be known for their wisdom, resourcefulness, and charm.
