Happy Lunar New Year! With the arrival of tonight's new moon we usher in the Year of the Hare. The Hare represents longevity. It is said that people born under this sign are fun-loving, artistic, mild-mannered and conscientious. Following on the heels of a rather stormy year of the Tiger, 2011 should see things begin to calm down under the common sense and gentle influence of the Hare.
