Chinese New Year is one of the biggest festivals in the world and this time round marks the transition from the Year of the Dog to the Year of the Pig. The pig is the twelfth of all zodiac animals and is blessed with success, good fortune and wealth. Associated with the Earth element it should also bring some stability and balance to your life. But will it be an auspicious year for all?
Although China has moved to the Gregorian calendar, the lunar calendar still plays an incredibly important part and many people still calculate their birthdays and ages based on the lunar version.
