Default Happy New Year

The year of the Monkey:

a year that anything can happen. There is little point in storing up goods or planning one’s life. The influence of the Monkey puts everything into flux. Things will get accomplished, but largely through personal and individual efforts. . . .

I celebrated Chinese New Year by having yum cha with some friends and then walking through the Sydney Chinatown, both of which were fun .

It sounds like the chinese new year fell on the same day as lundi gras feb 8th..which was the day before mardi gras. The second new moon after the equinox.
I wonder if that is every chinese new year? I will remember this!

They are both lunar so they both move around but they apparently do not
move around the same way. For example in 2017

Chinese New Year: Jan 28, 2017
Lundi Gras: February 27, 2017
http://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/china/2017
http://www.wikidates.org/fr/mardi-gras-2017.html


I guess that some years they match up and other years they do not.

That is weird.
lundi gras is the second new moon after the equinox and I thought that was the chinese year too.
I guess I was wrong.

Default The year is "lunisolar"

Determining the date of Chinese New Year requires some complicated calculations. In most cases, it falls on the second new moon after the winter solstice.
