Chinese New Year 2023: Calendar, Animal Zodiacs & Forecast2023 Chinese New Year is on Sunday, January 22, 2023, in China's time zone. This day is the first new moon day of the first Chinese lunar month in the Chinese Lunar Calendar system. The exact new moon time is at 4:54 a.m. on January 22, 2023, in China standard time zone, GMT+8. 2023 is the Chinese 4720h Year. Chinese calendar also uses a cycle of 60 Stem-Branch counting system. Since (60 * 78) + 40
= 4720, 2023 is the 40th Stem-Branch in the cycle. Male Water Rabbit is the name of 40th Stem-Branch. Therefore, 2023 is the year of the Water Rabbit. Because Black is connected to Water, 2023 is also called Balck Water Rabbit Year. Chinese Astrology does not simply use the Chinese Lunar Calendar. Chinese Astrology is a theory of Yin and Yang. Yin is the Earth and Yang is the Sun. Therefore, Chinese Astrology also uses the solar calendar. The first day of the astrological year
is on February 4, 2023. More about 2023 Water Rabbit Chinese New Year... Chinese New Year's Day and Chinese Lunar CalendarThe Chinese New Year's Day is the new moon day of the first lunar month. According to the Chinese Lunar calendar, the first
lunar month is the second new moon after the lunar month contains Winter Solstice. The day of Winter Solstice is around December 23 in the western Gregorian calendar. As a result, Chinese New Year might fall in the second half of January or the first half of February. Chinese calendar combines lunar, solar and color-animal (Stem-Branch) counting systems. The lunar counting system mainly is to count the lunar month. The solar counting system is to count the year and solar month for
agriculture activities. The color animal is to count every single solar day. In the beginning, color animal counts only for the day. Later, Five Element scholars applied color animals on Year and Month cycles. There are 12 animals, which are Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig, in the counting system. The Chinese calendar needs to assign a unique animal name for each day inside the lunar month. sometimes, the Chinese Lunar Calendar needs to add an
extra lunar month (Leap Lunar Month) in the cycle to match the speed of the solar cycle. For example, the Chinese calendar of the year 2006 has two 7th lunar months. A lunar month contains 29 or 30 days. Therefore, the Chinese calendar needs 60 different animal names to make every single day unique for the case of leap lunar month. Chinese Zodiac CalendarTo make the 60 unique color animal names,
the Chinese add the name of Five Elements, which are Metal, Water, Wood, Fire, and Earth, on the top of animal names. Metal, Water, Wood, Fire, and Earth are connected to the colors of White, Black, Green, Red, and Brown respectively. That's why each Chinese year has a color animal name. The first sign of 60 color animals is the Green-Wood Rat, which can be found in 1924 and 1984. The first day of the animal year is different from the Chinese New Year's Day. The animal year starts on the
first day of Tiger month. Tiger month begins from the day when Sun enters the ecliptic 315-degree position, which is around February 4 Gregorian calendar. That means the animal month is a solar month, not a lunar month. This is why many people who are born in January or February confuse about their animal sign of the birth year. To verify the exact animal sign of birth year goes to use the free online Chinese
Astrological Animal Sign page. Because the Chinese New Year's day is based on the New Moon Day and different time zones might have different new moon days in the Gregorian calendar, Chinese New Year Days might fall on different days in the USA time zones. Chinese New Year Dates at US Time Zones
