In 2015, Chinese New Year falls on February 19th, and it will be the beginning of the year of the sheep/goat/ram. Itâ€™s all the same in Chinese.

The year of the sheep is not a particularly popular one â€” especially for couples trying to plan their families. This article on CNN goes into the myth and superstition:

â€œMany couples have rushed to give birth in the current Year of the Horse, thought to be a more auspicious sign, or put off pregnancy, like Zhang, according to media reports.â€

On the other hand, people born in the year of Sheep are supposed to be tender, polite, filial, clever, and kind-hearted. They have special sensitivity to art and beauty and a special fondness for quiet living. They are also wise, gentle and compassionate. They certainly sound like many of the tea drinkers we know.



It's going to be a great year.
