Happy New Year according to the Eastern calendar!

Dear friends, readers, and followers of Nasha Ottawa — we warmly поздравляем вас с Новым годом по восточному календарю!

Today, February 17, the Year of the Fire Horse arrives — a time of energy, bold decisions, forward movement, and inner freedom.

According to tradition, the New Year 4723 in the lunisolar calendar begins on the second new moon after the winter solstice — and it is this moment that opens a new cycle.

It is believed that the Horse brings good fortune to those who are not afraid to learn new things, work honestly, and treat the people around them with care. May this year bring more warmth to your home, clarity to your plans, and inspiration to your endeavors — as well as many opportunities to gather together, support one another, and feel that we are not alone.

Happy New Year, our big family! Write in the comments: what do you wish for yourself and your loved ones in the Year of the Fire Horse?
