Chinese Year of the Tiger

The Chinese will Celebrate the New Year Starting on Saturday 10 Feb. 2024.   It is the year 4722 in the Chinese Calendar and the Year of the Dragon.   The Chinese use a scheme for counting years in a 12 year cycle, and each is named for an animal.   The New Year starts on different days each year and is calculated astronomically; in a sentence, the Chinese New Year is the second New Moon after the winter solstice.   There is much more to the Chinese Calendar, including larger cycles, sub-cycles, other animals, etc.

In the table below, you can figure out which animal represents you by looking at the year you were born.   Each animal represented has a fortune associated with it.   If interested, you can find these and other facts on the Web by using a search engine.   One starting place is with 'chinese year of the *****.'
