The Lunar New Year, also known as the Chinese New Year, will be held on January 22nd, 2023, and will usher in the year of the Water Rabbit.
What is the "Year of the Rabbit"?
The year 2023 is the Water Rabbits year. It begins on January 22, 2023, and concludes on February 9th, 2024. Every 60 years, a Water Rabbit year occurs.
The Rabbit is the fourth of the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac's 12-year cycle. There is a Rabbit year every 12 years. The Chinese zodiac is divided into 12 blocks, similar to the western zodiac, except their temporal period is measured in years rather than months. The following Rabbit Year will be in 2035.
The year 2023 is designated as a "Water Rabbit" year. Each Chinese zodiac animal sign and one of the Five Elements are associated with each year in Chinese astrology: Metal, Water, Wood, Fire, or Earth. Your personality and destiny are considered to be influenced by the sign and element of your birth year. Every 60 years, element-sign combinations reoccur. If you were born under the "Water Rabbit," sign and element, it is said that you are vigilant, humorous, perceptive, and inventive.
The Lucky and Unlucky Things for "Rabbits"
3, 6, and 6 are lucky numbers, as are numerals that contain them (like 36 and 64)
The 26th, 27th and 29th days of any Chinese lunar month are lucky days.
Blue, purple, pink and red are lucky colours.
Plantain lily and jasmine are lucky flowers.
East, northwest, and south are lucky directions.
The 1st, 4th, 8th, and 11th Chinese lunar months are lucky months.
The Unlucky Things That "Rabbits" Should Avoid
Numerals 1, 7, and 8 are unlucky, as are numbers that contain them (like 17 and 78)
Dark brown, dark yellow and white are unlucky colours.
Southwest, north and west are unlucky directions.
