The sky is alight with fireworks here in Kunming, and it sounds like a warzone outside. In China, every stret has explosions non-stop for days to celebrate the New Year and to scare away bad luck and bad spirits that might be lurking. What a great tradition!
I have been told that because the Rat is a water sign, and normally earth beats water, which are in ascendant this year, but because of the Rat's strength, it will mean a year of upheaval.
Here we go!!!!!
春节快乐! 
Happy Spring Festival!
