The beginning of Chinese New Year 2023 (according to the lunar calendar) begins on the New Moon which in 2023, will be on the 22nd January 2023; this will take place after the Winter Solstice and the event is celebrated by millions of people in every single country and area of the world that you can think of. Chinese New Year is a time of new beginnings and signifies a fresh start for everyone. Chinese New Year is very much a family event where the social side of things is concerned and is a time of reunion and thanksgiving. Below you will find everything you will need to know about Chinese New Year 2023, year of the Yin Water Rabbit…
Those born in the year of the Rooster could be affected by the conflicting influences of the year of the Yin Water Rabbit. Although the Rooster is the conflict animal of the Rabbit year, those born in the year of the Rabbit should be aware of potential difficulties they may encounter during the year and take extra care in whatever they do without taking unnecessary risks in all aspects of their life. Regardless, if you follow the advice here you can avoid many problems and enjoy a great 2023 in our opinion so do not panic.
It should be noted that there are five different types of each Chinese Animal (fire, water, wood, earth, metal) which depends on the year you were born and each different animal will have different predictions for the year ahead; you can find out more about this in our 2023 Feng Shui guide which should be released in November 2022 so please be sure to check back on this page.
For example:
Metal Rabbit: 1951
Water Rabbit: 1963
Wood Rabbit: 1919, 1975
Fire Rabbit: 1927, 1987
Earth Rabbit: 1939, 1999
The degree of this influence varies from one person to another. One of the major considerations is the heavenly stem of the year in which one was born so if you were born in 1932 or 1992 which would be a Water Monkey, the year will not be bad at all.

Holidays and observances in China in 2023
In China, there are seven legal holidays in any year, namely New Year’s Day, Chinese New Year (Spring Festival), Qingming Festival (Tomb-Sweeping), Labour Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and National Day.
Amongst these official holidays are four traditional Chinese holidays, which is always subject to the lunar calendar. The double third festival is on April 22nd 2023 although this is only celebrated by Zhuang Nationality in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
Although the solar (Hsia) calendar commences the New Year at the beginning of Spring, which usually falls between the 3rd and 4th of February, the lunar (Yueh) calendar marks the New Year on the second new moon after the winter solstice. Celebrations and festivities for the Chinese New Year are held on this date. In 2023, the Lunar Chinese New Year, also known as the ‘Spring Festival,’ falls on the 22nd of January 2023.
