Year of the Ox
On February the 12th starts the Chinese Lunar New Year until February 26. Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, is the most important day of the Chinese Holidays. It is celebrated on the first day of the first month of the Chinese calendar. This Festival is therefore celebrated on a different date every year but never takes place before 21 January or after 20 February.
The Lunar calendar celebrates its first new day when a new moon appears. This calendar has twelve Chinese zodiac animals and these rotate every year, meaning each person is represented by one of the 12 animals. The twelve zodiac signs are Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig.
This year it’s the year of the Metal Ox and every child that is born in the year of 2021 has the Ox as a zodiac sign. The Ox has traits of strength, reliability, fairness and conscientiousness, as well as inspiring confidence in others. They are also thought to be calm, patient, methodical and trustworthy. The colors white, silver and aqua blue must be around you to attract luck, prosperity, and health.
