The Year of the Rooster begins on Saturday (January 28), when festivities will commence all over the world.
Also known as the Spring Festival, the dates are set according to the lunisolar Chinese calendar, which means the date varies from year-to-year. The coming year will continue until February 15, 2018.
This year, the element is 'fire' and anyone born during the Year of the Fire Rooster is said to be trustworthy, with a strong sense of timekeeping and responsibility at work.
