Next year is 2023. According to the lunar calendar, next year is the Year of the Water Rabbit, also known as the Year of the Black Rabbit. In 2023, the year of Guimao, the old star (called Jupiter in ancient times, called Tai Sui in folk) is located in the east of the secondary fire. The secondary fire includes the Pleiades, the lodges and the antares, which are located in the middle of the seven lodges of Qinglong.

In addition, there are four other kinds of rabbits, namely, Maoyi rabbit, Dingmao rabbit, Jimao rabbit, Xinmao rabbit and Guimao rabbit.

According to what our ancestors handed down, next year is the year of Guimao. In "Ten Days Dry", Guangxi is the water in the north, representing the color of black, and in "Twelve Earthly Branches", it is a rabbit.

Heavenly stems and earthly branches corresponds to five elements and five colors, namely golden rabbit (white rabbit), wooden rabbit (green rabbit), water rabbit (black rabbit), fire rabbit (red rabbit) and native rabbit (yellow rabbit). So after beginning of spring in 2023, it naturally entered the "Year of the Water Rabbit", also known as the Year of the Black Rabbit.

Other statements:

In 2023, the annual star is in the east, in the middle of spring, when the wood is the strongest, and it is located in the four positive directions. According to the old man. When Jupiter is in the four positive directions, it must be the power of the four positive directions, that is, the four directions of the meridian You Mao.

Among them, the meridian is the mid-month of the four seasons, which is located in the middle of the four seasons. So there is a saying that rabbits are in the four seasons.
