The lunar cycle begins relatively late this year (on Feb. 9) which means it will not contain "lichun," the auspicious day that marks the start of spring. This earns this coming Year of the Rooster the dubious distinction of being a "widow year," or unlucky for wedlock.
Chinese media have reported that marriage registrations are soaring around the country as people scramble to get hitched in the last days of the Year of the Monkey.

Year of the snake, me. Which means my year would eat those two years and then have a nap.
Year of the sheep - militant sheep in my case. Thats a whole other story.
I'm a sheep as well. But an angry, independent, ambitious sheep! With straight furr! And an attitude!
Fah!
