Chinese New Year 2018. New Year's Day itself was traditionally named Yuandan (Chinese: 元旦; pinyin: Yuándàn), literally "the first sunrise", but in 1913 the recently established Republic of China government appropriated that name to refer instead to New Year's Day in the newly adopted Gregorian Calendar, with Chinese New Year instead being called "Spring Festival" (Chinese: 春节; pinyin: Chūnjié), which remains the official name for the New Year's Day public holiday in both mainland China and Taiwan. Now, Yuandan refers to the first day of one year according to solar calendar[9] and it is the same day with western New Year's Day in spite of the time difference. Prior to 1913, "Spring Festival" instead referred to lichun, (February 4 or 5), the first solar term in a Chinese calendar year, which marked the end of winter and start of spring.
An alternative name for Chinese New Year's Day means literally "the first day of the (great) year" (Chinese: (大)年初一; pinyin: (Dà) Nián Chūyī). The New Year's Day public holiday in Hong Kong and Macau is named in Chinese, as literally "First Day of the Year in the Agricultural Calendar" (Chinese: 农历年初一; pinyin: Nónglì Nián Chūyī) while the official English name is "The First Day of Lunar New Year".

Chinese Horoscope 2018
Chinese Horoscope 2018 . Just like Feng Shui teachings, the balance of power between the five elements generate happiness and fulfillment. The lack of energetic diversity generated by a dominating Element during a New Year of the Rooster, a New Year of the Rabbit and a New Year of the Rat, intensify the disturbance of the cyclical forces of time with those inherent to each sign of Chinese astrology.
It is therefore advisable to stay on guard before considering the possibility of a quick and easy investment return on a new business venture during Rooster Years.
Given the energy distribution of the 5 elements all along the year, it is best to start your projects in the fall or during the last two weeks of each season. Indeed, late seasons periods are represented by the Earth element, critical and useful for its stabilizing virtues, particularly during Years of the Fire Rooster.
The combination of this year’s element Fire with the element Metal highlights tensions with other energetic deficiencies, creating periods unfit to change.
If you’re single, this is a very good year to start a new relationship. However, romances that could have grown into solid marriages over time could well be cut short for reasons beyond the control of the new lovebirds; for instance, a professional or family move to another state or country.

Lunar New Year 2018
Lunar New Year 2018. According to tales and legends, the beginning of the Chinese New Year started with a mythical beast called the Nian. Nian would come on the first day of New Year to eat livestock, crops, and even villagers, especially children. To protect themselves, the villagers would put food in front of their doors at the beginning of every year. It was believed that after the Nian ate the food they prepared, it wouldn't attack any more people. One day a villager decided to get revenge of the Nian. A god visited him and told him to put red paper on his house and to place firecrackers. The villagers then understood that the Nian was afraid of the color red. When the New Year was about to come, the villagers would hang red lanterns and red spring scrolls on windows and doors. People also used firecrackers to frighten away the Nian. From then on, Nian never came to the village again. The Nian was eventually captured by Hongjun Laozu, an ancient Taoist monk. The Nian became Hongjun Laozu's mount.
On the eighth day of the lunar month prior to Chinese New Year, the Laba holiday (simplified Chinese: 腊八; traditional Chinese: 臘八; pinyin: làbā), a traditional porridge, Laba porridge (simplified Chinese: 腊八粥; traditional Chinese: 臘八粥; pinyin: làbā zhōu), is served in remembrance of an ancient festival, called La, that occurred shortly after the winter solstice.[31] Pickles such as Laba garlic, which turns green from vinegar, are also made on this day. For those that believe in Buddhism, the Laba holiday is also considered Bodhi Day. Layue (simplified Chinese: 腊月; traditional Chinese: 臘月; pinyin: Làyuè) is a term often associated with Chinese New Year as it refers to the sacrifices held in honor of the gods in the twelfth lunar month, hence the cured meats of Chinese New Year are known as larou (simplified Chinese: 腊肉; traditional Chinese: 臘肉; pinyin: làròu).

2018 Chinese Horoscope
2018 Chinese Horoscope.
The Chinese New Year of the Rooster 2018 will start on January 28, 2018 – the second New Moon after the Solstice. I don’t know about you, but this Chinese astrologer is exhausted from the shenanigans of this past Monkey year! Surprise after surprise (both fabulous and panic-laden) swung most of our ways. Following 12 months of the wit and hyperactive Monkey, the New Year of the Fire Rooster is going shake, rattle and roll!
Best Year for: Dragons
Amazing Year for: Rooster, Ox, Snake- Rooster gets along best with an Ox, a Snake and his own kind, for they are all dutiful and dedicated fighters who strive to scale great heights and conquer by their constancy and unfailing determination. These three are fixed in their views and given to thought and systematic planning. They are the most intellectual signs of the cycle.
Good Year for: Tigers, Rats
Mixed Year for: Pigs, Goats, Monkeys
Difficult Year for: Dogs, Rabbits, Horses – The Rabbit and the Rooster, however, should keep a lot of distance between them and their dealings or be prepared to have chronic disagreements.
The Great Year of the Chinese zodiac consists of one year for each of the twelve signs. 2018 is the year of the Rooster, considered to be honorable and upstanding.
Roosters, Chinese astrology describes you as resilient, brave, loyal, a hard worker, astute, a fashionable dresser, charming and witty. Complex, creative and artistic, you are drawn to religious and spiritual studies, especially regarding healing. Problem solving is your special talent.

Chinese Zodiac 2018
The year 2018 is placed under the protection of the fabulous and flamboyant sign of the Fire Rooster, whose virtues of righteousness, perseverance and transparency generously reward those who understand them well enough..
In order to balance the energy flow of time that can provide benefits for one’s personal karma, it is best to wear jewelry and clothes respecting the composition and color of the Element they are supposed to represent (to discover the KarmaWeather infographics associated with each of the elements; Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood, click here).
These balancing principles concerning your wardrobe and accessories, which are connected to Feng Shui, also apply to the interior design of home and office alike. In 2018, it is highly recommended to favor terracotta objects or jewelry whose colors are related to the Earth element, such as yellow or brown sphalerite, or even bracelets in sienna color. However, one should remember along the course of 2018 to avoid using red as a garment or precious stone (cherry and pink topaz, red ruby and red diamond, garnet, rhodochrosite ...), so as not to fan the Fire already there in quantity and in direct conflict with Metal (main element of the sign of the Rooster).
Apart from the conflicting nature of the year made possible by the dominant and conflicting nature of Metal and Fire, positive currents do exist all along 2018, even if they don’t apply to all 12 signs of the Chinese zodiac.
Politics, Entertainment and Technology
Fire melting Metal, the resulting electric and hot atmosphere will be a source of tension to account for. We should therefore expect an intensification of virile (and sterile) demonstrations on the part of leaders of countries or big corporations. Migration caused by wars and climate changeshall contribute to degrade an already heavy if not unstable political climate.
New celebrities in the entertainment and music industry will emerge in greater numbers, thanx to the ever growing expansion of the Internet. Capable of lighting up nightclubs all over the world, from Ibiza to Goa, these "handkerchief" pop stars should unfortunately loose their sudden fame less than a year later.
The first A.I. youtube pop star could very like emerge from Japan in 2018, live streaming 24/24 3D crazy fan database generated K. pop videos.
Jobs, Business and Investment
A year of the Rooster is often marked by brilliant success for those who have endured with patience the draining and often solitary build-up of a business project.
Many people wish during this particular year to change their professional environment. But these desires of mobility shall not materialize for everyone, for all the Chinese zodiac signs aren’t able to handle all at one the stress and be sufficiently creative and organized to overcome the failures they will have to face along their way up to success.

Horoscope 2018
The Year of the Fire Rooster begins January 28, 2018. Being the sign of dawn and awakening, triumph and success during the year can only be achieved at the price of hard work and patience.
Rooster Years are a blend of righteousness and justice, bombast and logistical efficiency. Public and private administration jobs, military careers or police jobs are highly favored.
The Rat, the Rabbit and the Rooster are only represented by a single element, while all the other signs of the Chinese zodiac contain several hidden elements in them. Therefore, years governed by these three signs strongly depend on the core strength of the element to which they are initially attached.
Even though the rotation cycles of months, seasons and days continuously bring diversity to the energy flow of the 5 elements (Wu Xing), the presence of a predominant element governing the annual cycle is never seen as the best of omens in Chinese tradition.
