Fireworks, dragon dances, and the color red mark the Chinese New Year on February 7.
The Chinese traditionally purge the bad luck of the old year and welcome in good fortune and prosperity during two weeks of festivities.
Every year in the Chinese calendar is named for an animal and an element in a twelve-year cycle. The story goes, when Buddha summoned all the animals, only twelve showed up, so he honored them with a year for them to rule over. He decreed that people born during an animal's year would have some of its personality.
The year of the Earth Rat brings happiness and the energy to begin again. Fortune smiles on any new project or direction you choose. Careful planning an organization will help you build for the future. "Keep things simple" is good advice. There is some danger you will promise too much or underestimate the time and energy it takes to get things done. In many areas of your life, this is a time of relative stability. Education and research bring good luck. The more you know, the better your chances for success. Even in stressful situations, you will be able to take the lead and make things better.
This year is the Year of the Rat, the first animal in the cycle. The Rat in Chinese culture is seen as a hardworking and noble creature rather than pesky vermin, so this year will be full of productive Rat energy. Look forward to professional success and wealth this year!
