2017 is for the “Roosters”, a Chinese zodiac sign for all those born after the lunar new year in 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005 and of course, 2017.
According to the Chinese horoscope, these group of people are described as trustworthy, hardworking, strong at timekeeping, career-driven and good at multitasking.
The Year of Rooster will start from 28 January, 2017 and will last until 15 February, 2018. A total of 36 festive days will be observed as the official holiday period.
Luck hours have become part of the “rituals” observed in the Chinese zodiac. Any time between 5PM and 7PM is considered as “Rooster hour”.
If there are set goals or dreams that the Roosters are planning to achieve in the following year, those activities are guaranteed to be successful if undertaken during the lucky hours.
Apart from Rooster hours, Ox, Snake and Dragon are also expected to be lucky this year.
- Rooster hours – 5PM to 7PM
- Ox hours – 1PM to 3PM
- Snake hours – 9PM to 11PM
- Dragon hours – 7PM to 9PM
