According to the Chinese Zodiac, the new 2013 year is the year of the black water Snake, which begins on February 10, 2013 (the Lunar New Year or the Spring Festival of China) and will lasts to January 30, 2014. Black colour is the colour of Space, Arctic Night, darkness on the Abyss and deep waters, so the year of the Black Snake can bring unexpected changes, instability and changeability. Everything should be planed beforehand and people need to be more careful and cautious than ever. On the other hand, according to Chinese astrology, snake is a symbol of wisdom and people will be able to solve the conflicts by means of peaceful negotiations, and thereby 2013 will be a successful and happy year.
