2023.1: Follow the water rabbit!

2023 has been here for a month, and it’s time to hop into the year of the Water Rabbit according to the Chinese calendar. Preparing the Sirius Web project’s objectives, I was wondering: what’s in store for this year? And, just for curiosity, I searched for the Chinese zodiac fortune predictions for 2023: The year of the Water Rabbit is going to be a gentler year. We’ll have time to take a breather...
