Lunar New Year celebrates the end of winter and the beginning of spring, and is a time to give thanks and manifest good luck, positive energy, plus prosperity for the year ahead, as well as reuniting with family and friends. It’s the most important holiday in China — but it’s also celebrated in many East and Southeast Asian countries, like South Korea, and Vietnam.
Lunar New Year also marks the transition from one of the 12 Chinese zodiac signs to another. These include: rat, ox, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. 2025 was the Year of the Wood Snake, a sign that symbolises wisdom, growth, and personal transformation. But we’re about to enter the Year of the Horse, the latter a symbol of freedom, vitality, energy, independence, enthusiasm and ambition. Essentially, this has been labelled as a great year for self development and personal growth.
