Happy Year of the Rabbit!!

A placid year after the ferocious year of the Tiger. We should go off to some quiet spot to lick our wounds and get some much needed rest after all the battles of the past year.

Good taste and refinement will shine on everything. People will acknowledge that persuasion is better than force. Diplomacy, international relations and politics will be given a front seat. We will act with discretion and make reasonable concessions.

A time to watch that we don't become too indulgent. Law and order will be lax. People will be busy enjoying themselves, entertaining others, or taking it easy. Everything is quiet and calm. Money can be made without too much labor. Our lifestyles will be leasurely. A temperate year with unhurried pace. It may seem possible for us to be carefree and happy without too many annoyances.

Those compatible with the Rabbit (Jessica is a Rabbit): the Sheep, Dog (Amanda), and Pig (Me) in particular, will also find 2011's circumstances inspiring them to greater personal happiness and professional success.

Others will suffer, by degree, depending on how flexible they are to the world mood. Those who have cultivated careful negotiation skills (or can sniff out and swiftly dodge dangerous situations) may attain similar good luck enjoyed by rabbits and those compatible with them.
