On February 12th, the Wayfarer's Rest will be celebrating the Heavensturn Celebration in tandem with Chinese New Year -- seems appropriate given that this should be when we celebrate the Year of the Ox!
In the myth, the Jade Emperor had called for the animals to arrive to his party, and the order that they arrived in would be the order that they would come in a twelve year cycle. The Ox, being a dependable and trustworthy individual was tricked by the Rat, who had told the Ox that because they were so small, they would like to have a ride to arrive on time. Where the Ox was meant to be first in the twelve year cycle, the Rat had taken the spot by jumping off the Ox and arriving first.
This year, those born with the Ox Zodiac are born with the Metal element. There are to be many obstacles and hardships that come to bar one's way, and while they might feel like they are alone on some days, they can seek solace and comfort in those around them. In the end, fortune favours the Oxen born here, foreseeing that even after all the hardship, the Oxen will see a comfortable life.
Lucky colours for this year are:
Yellow; A colour corresponding with the element of earth, yellow is considered the most beautiful and prestigious colour. Yellow is the colour of balance, the centre of everything as it generates both Yin and Yang. Yellow also represents freedom from worldly cares or bonds, and is such used by Buddhists.
White; A colour corresponding with metal, white oddly represents gold and symbolises brightness, purity, and fulfilment. In astrology, white also represents the White Tiger of the West -- one of the Four Symbols in the Chinese constellations. In game, Byakko would be our best representative of this colour.
Green; Sometimes considered the same symbolic colour with blue, green is associated with health, posterity, and harmony. This colour, along with celadon, would often be used for roof tiles to represent heaven. Jade is often considered a good gem to wear to be closer to these things.
