Chinese New Year 2023 Year of the RabbitThe Lunar New Year will begin on January 23, 2023. It's the Year of the Rabbit! The energy shift will be significant as we move from 2022 to a more patient and gentle 2023.
The Chinese zodiac, like the Western zodiac, consists of twelve signs, each of which represents an animal or bristly creature. In Western astrology, the signs cycle through the twelve months of each year, but in Chinese astrology, each sign gets a full year to itself, and the cycle lasts twelve years.
Chinese astrology also includes the five elements: water, metal, wood, earth, and fire. The zodiac moves through a different element each year. 2023 will be the year of the Water Rabbit. Since the Yin Water element is associated with the color black, some people call this the "Year of the Black Rabbit".
The Yin Water element represents sensitivity, intuition, and, in its most positive form, the path to inner peace. The Year of the Water Rabbit promises a period of rest and reflection after the year of the dynamic Tiger.In Chinese culture, the rabbit is associated with the moon. According to an ancient Chinese legend, the Jade Emperor disguised himself as an old beggar in order to find a trustworthy assistant. The rabbit offered himself as a meal to the hungry man by jumping into the fire. The Emperor revealed his true self and took the Noble Rabbit to the Moon, where together they created the Elixir of Life. The Jade Rabbit's outline can be seen on the moon, using a mortar and pestle to mix herbs into a powerful potion of healing and longevity.
The rabbit is a symbol of good luck. In Chinese philosophy, rabbits are also considered to be emblematic of patience. So, as long as you can bide your time until the moment is right to act in 2023, you should experience some lucky breaks!
