Because the Chinese calendar is based on the cycles of the Moon, the beginning of the New Year can fall anywhere between late January and the middle of February. In 2003, it comes on February 1st. The festivities begin 22 days prior to the New Year date and continue for 15 days afterward. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben Arledge" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, February 20, 2003 9:49 AM Subject: RE: astrological sign
