it's written in the stars it seems

Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year.
Tonight, I learned about Chinese Valentine's Day in astronomy. It's on June 7th... and it seems to have some sort of myth about the constellations behind it...

The story goes...
This cow herder and a princess meet each other for the first time, and instantly fall in love. The princess' mother forbids them to see each other.. and separates them with a river: the cow herder on one side, and the princess on the other. But as true love goes, they find a way to cross the river and be together at last!
The end.

I don't know how Valentine's Day is really linked to that, or why it is in June.. But I thought it was a nice coincidence with the New Year being tomorrow.


Night.
