The lunisolar Chinese calendar determines the date of Lunar New Year. The Chinese Calendar defines the lunar month with the winter solstice as the 11th month, which means that Chinese New Year usually falls on the second new moon after the winter solstice. On the Gregorian Calendar, the Lunar New Year begins at the new moon that falls between 21 January and 20 February.
2019 is the Year of the Pig - the twelfth zodiac animal sign. There is much more astrology and meaning to the Year of the Pig than I know or understand, but it is a very important time to a substantial portion of the world's population.
All I can say is Happy Chinese New Year of the Pig!
