Feng shui practitioners interpret what the Year of the Rabbit might mean, as celebrations for Lunar New Year 2023 begin.
But if your Chinese zodiac sign is a rat, rooster, dragon, horse, or even a rabbit be warned — you'll need to take extra precautions to fend off misfortune, as Mr Zheng explains below.The lunar and solar calendars are based on different cycles and movements of the moon and sun.
Ancient Chinese art forms also use other calendars and systems to record and divide the year. They are less common, but some are still used today. This Lunar Year of the Rabbit is particularly special because it's a leap year with a rare two Februaries and 13 months, instead of 12 — it makes the year unusually long at 384 days.— one on February 4, 2023 and the other on February 4, 2024., with the next not scheduled to occur for more than 1,000 years.
