Happy Year of the Wood Dragon

Xīnnián kuàilè! (Pronounced “She-nee-an Kwai leh”) 
Happy New Year!

I lived in Taiwan for two years teaching English, and loved the vibrant fun of ringing in the lunar new year.

Celebrate by wearing red clothes this weekend, hanging red decor from your door, visit your beloved elders to pay respects, and do NOT clean house on Saturday! Get chores done on Friday or Sunday instead.

The Wood Dragon is an abundant year for creative endeavors and laying down foundations for long-term goals.

Delay Your Resolutions

New Year’s resolutions are an irksome topic for some people. If you’re one of them, know that this is a great year to not make them on time.

We will cross over into 2024 during one of our bouts of Mercury retrograde, and so it’s best to just keep eating the cake and skipping the gym for a spell.
