It's Chinese New Year & 2017 Is a Fire Rooster Year
It's an exciting time of the year it's Chineses New Year Day. This takes place between January 21 and February 20 because it’s based on the lunar calendar.
This year the Chineses New Year Day fell on January 28, making it the 4714th Chinese year.
Each Chinese New Year takes on characterised by one of 12 animals which appear in the Chinese zodiac.
The Chinese zodiac gets divided into 12 houses & each house has a 1 year time-length instead of one month.
This year, it's the Year of the Rooster, the 10th animal in the cycle. The next Year of the Rooster will be in 2029.
So every 12 years there is a Rooster year, beginning at Chinese New Year. A year of the Rooster always comes after a Monkey year and before a Dog year.
Years of the Rooster include 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017, and 2029.
In Chinese astrology, each zodiac year is not only associated with an animal sign, but also one of five elements: Gold (Metal), Wood, Water, Fire, or Earth.
So this Year 2017 celebrates the Fire Rooster year. Element-sign combinations recur every 60 years. So the last time we had a Fire Rooster, was in 1957.
