What the Year of the Ox will bring – a horoscope
Temple festivals have been canceled, as have New Year’s markets – China’s leadership has banned all events with large gatherings of people for the next few weeks for fear of new Covid outbreaks. No bustle, that’s the motto. According to popular wisdom, the New Year, which is welcomed on Friday night according to the lunar calendar, is actually a good one. The past year was that of the rat – it is considered wild and restless. And so was the year of the pandemic. 2021, on the other hand, is under the sign of the ox. And that promises to be more peaceful. In this respect, the canceled fairs are fitting: the prelude to a calmer year.
