Chinese Horoscopes a Big Hit as the Chinese New Year Approaches

For the Chinese, this 2007 is the Year of the Pig, which effectively starts on the Sunday of February 18.

Chinese people, after all, are among the most superstitious people in the world. Superstitions, in fact, abound during the Chinese New Year itself, both before and during the holiday.
