The CNY is the most celebrated festival on Earth and while it’s called the New Year, it’s a Springtime holiday when homes and villages are traditionally cleaned and refreshed. It’s also the Aquarius New Moon, after which seeds generally germinate in the temperate northern hemisphere. This year, thanks to a New Moon Eclipse on the previous Christmas Day, the Metal Rat’s Spring celebration is happening early, so don’t expect his fellow rodent, the Groundhog, to see his shadow.
