MYFOXNY.COM STAFF REPORT
MYFOXNY.COM - People balanced eggs on their ends in partnership with Feng Shui Master Pun Yin in Manhattan on Friday.
The event helped ring in the Chinese New Year. The beginning of Spring, according to the Lunar Calendar, officially begins the Year of the Rabbit. According to the Lunar Calendar, there is a window of time each year where individuals may test, measure and increase their luck through a simple and effective procedure.
This year, the window fell on February 4 between 11 am and 1 pm. During these two hours, a time when the polarity (or relationship between two opposites such as two sides of a magnet) is strongest, individuals may balance eggs upright on a flat surface more easily than at other times of the year, it is said.
The goal of egg standing is to get as many raw eggs as possible to stand - a few signals good luck, over a dozen very good, and 18 or more excellent.
