Chinese New Year 2013 – Year of the Snake
Lunar New Year, February 10, 2013, marks the 4710th year in the Chinese calendar – the Year of the Snake.
Not as fiery and intense as 2012’s Dragon year, 2013 should be calmer and more practical with a tendency toward stability, security and comfortable elegance.
FYI: The Chinese Snake is considered to be aligned with the Western Zodiac sign of Taurus.

Astrology: Chinese New Year
Gong Hay Fat Choi ! The Chinese Lunar New Year begins on February 14 and the festivities last for several days. 2010 is celebrated as the “Year of the Metal Tiger”.
Each of the 12 months is represented by an animal with its particular characteristics along with one of the 5 Chinese elements. The element adds additional flavor to the year.
There are differing opinions for what may be in store for a Tiger Metal year, but we can assume that any challenges for this year will be met with the Tiger’s energy and aggressiveness.
Happy New Year!
FYI: The Chinese Lunar Year (also called the Spring Festival), unlike the “Sun” calendar, begins on a different day every year.
The 12 Chinese signs: Rat, Horse, Ox, Sheep, Tiger, Monkey, Rabbit, Rooster, Dragon, Dog, Snake, Pig
Chinese Elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water
