From Rosemary Marlow
Regarding your points about the Chinese New Year: the Year of the Rabbit runs
from 16 February 1999 to 4 February 2000, after which it is the Year of the
Dragon up to 23 January 2001.
The Chinese will regard the new millennium as starting with the Year of the
Dragon. Appropriately enough, this is “a year marked by a lot of surprises and
violent acts of nature. The electric atmosphere created by the mighty Dragon
will affect us, one and all”, according to The Handbook of Chinese
Horoscopes by Theodora Lau.
Good timing for a millennium bug, eh?
