Happy Chinese New Year of the Horse

Today is Chinese New year, Happy Year of the Horse!

Kung Hei Fat Choy, as we used to say to each other when I was a kid growing up in Hong Kong. It's a time when Chinese people around the globe wish each other health and prosperity, offering children "lai see" - red paper packets containing money to start the new year with good luck and to ward off any evil spirits. I loved the fire-crackers and festive cakes, lion dances and lanterns that noisily herald in the year.

This year, the horse is a wooden one. In Chinese 5 element theory, wood symbolises growth and vitality, like trees. And if that's not lively enough, it's also a yang year, which portends strength and focus. It also happens to begin on a Fire Tiger month, which suggests lots of exuberant, powerful energy.

What a wonderful start to the new year, which will be markedly different to the slow considered energy of last year's water Snake. Some say the year augers plenty of adventures, energy and unexpected romance! 

I hope it brings what ever you most wish for, and that you enjoy the energetic change of this new moon.

Find your Chinese Year Animal sign below, remembering that the Chinese Solar year begins on 4th February so if you were born between 1st January and 4th February, yours is the preceding calendar year.
