It's the Chinese year of the monkey. Google's doodle was cute. I missed the "Spirit on Mars" one, January 15, which you can see at their page about their doodles. (The Chinese New Year one wasn't up yet when I looked.) I'm intrigued to go off and find out more about my Chinese sign (which I know is the sheep/goat).
Hmm. It seems my lucky element is Earth. Activities that will increase this include wearing brown, choosing a bedroom in the center of the house, having a name associated with earth (Peter=rock) and activities like gardening, camping, meditation and poker.
