This year's Chinese new year is Friday January 31st, and will be the year of horse. More specifically, the year of green / wood horse. (青馬 / 木馬).
Chinese year are based on Luna cycle, and there are 12 zodiac, in the following order
With each year there is also an element associated with it out of the five element
And of course, there is also Yin and Yan, and each element also has a color associated with it.
There is also another more fine categorization of the Chinese zodiac, which breaks it down to 36 zodiac, which I will not get into right now.
In any case, no matter if you are born on the year of horse or not, happy almost new year.
