It’s the year of the monkey!

The Chinese or Lunar New Year starts today and the festivities lasts 15 days.

This year is the year of the monkey. This is based on the movements of the moon and sun.

People born in the Year of the Monkey are said to be intelligent, clever, and gregarious, but also mischievous. They are skilled and smart, but shortcomings, like a quick temper and a touch of arrogance, tend to hold them back.

This is a great article giving you a lot of good information about the Chinese new year and how it’s celebrated around the world.
