Yes, happy new years for wednesday, It's the year of the rabbit again, MY year! I must buy something red! Wow, we've actually transpired two full circles of Chinese zodiacs. Nice. I feel old....
PS: I don't have much knowledge about these things. According to Wikipedia I'm a fire rabbit. What does that mean?
Well... I think, there are actually five elements in Chinese believes, and these are Fire, Earth, Wood, Water, Gold (metal). The Chinese Zodiac revolved around these elements too. So for every twelve years or cycle, the animal will be arranged in each of the elements. I am a Fire Dragon by the way, and my brother is a Earth Dragon (yes, we are twelve years apart).
When we look at each year's luck, we actually take into consideration of what year you are born and what element your zodiac animal are. (don't ask me how this work, if I know, I would have become a fortune teller).
