January 22 marks the start of a brand new year—in terms of the lunar calendar for 2023, that is. This changing of the calendar is commemorated through the Chinese New Year, and part of this annual celebration is identifying what this new year has in store for us in different aspects of our lives through the Chinese horoscope.
We are set to transition from last year’s fierce Tiger to a calmer and more peace-loving representative animal in the Chinese zodiac: the Rabbit. For 2023, it takes the element of water which also brings peaceful and gentle energy. With this combination, we may expect a “year of hope” with lots of harmony, good luck, and exciting opportunities for 2023.
For a more specific look into what lies ahead for you this 2023, check out this summary of Chinese horoscope predictions for every zodiac sign on the Year of the Water Rabbit!
