What is the Chinese Lunar Calendar?
The Chinese Lunar Calendar is a lunisolar calendar that incorporates both lunar and solar cycles. It tracks months based on the moon's phases and years based on the sun, requiring a leap month every three years to stay in sync with the seasons.
When is the next Chinese New Year?
The date changes every year on the Gregorian calendar, but it always falls between late January and mid-February. It begins on the second new moon after the winter solstice.
How does the Chinese Zodiac work?
The Chinese Zodiac is based on a 12-year cycle, with each year represented by an animal (Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig). These animals rotate continuously.
What are 'Auspicious Days'?
In Chinese astrology, auspicious days (lucky days) are specific dates believed to be favorable for important events like weddings, moving into a new house, or signing a contract, based on the alignment of the Earthly Branches and Heavenly Stems.
