Happy Chinese New Year

 

Chinese New Year started on January 29th and runs for 15 days. Happy Chinese New Year (gong hei fat choy ) in Cantonese (Congratulations and be Prosperous). It is the Year of the Dragon.
 

This is a year for reflection, planning, and searching for answers. It is also a good time for shrewd dealings and political affairs. People will be more likely to scheme and ponder matters before acting on them. The snake likes to resolve his differences one way or another. If he fails and things cannot be peacefully settled, then he will declare war.

Looking back through history, we find that the Year of the Snake has never been tranquil. This may be because it is the strongest negative force in the cycle and follows the Dragon year, which is the strongest positive one.

Tread lightly and be more cautious this year. Gambling and speculation are strictly taboo. The consequences will be overwhelming. The Snake is not merciful.

Philosopher, theologian, political wizard, and wily financier, the Snake is the most profound thinker and enigma of the Chinese cycle. He is endowed with an inborn wisdom and a mystic in his own right. Graceful and soft-spoken, he loves good books, food, music, and the theater and will gravitate toward all the finer things in life. The most beautiful women and powerful men tend to be born under this sign.

By nature, the Snake is skeptical, but unlike the Tiger, he keeps his suspicions to himself. He treasures his privacy and will have many dark secrets locked up within him.

Elegant in speech, dress, and manners, the Snake person does not like indulging in useless small talk or frivolities. He can be pretty generous with money but is known to be ruthless when he wants to attain an important objective. He has no qualms about eliminating anyone who stands in his way.
