СКАЧАТЬ paperwork and prompt in returning forms and dealing with important correspondence. Financially, this is a year for vigilance.

      Overall, however, the Year of the Rabbit will be a generally pleasant and constructive one for the Water Rat. It will give him some excellent chances to develop his skills and benefit from opportunities. He will be supported and encouraged by those around him and if he uses his time well, his actions can be to both his present and future advantage.

      TIP FOR THE YEAR

      Spend time with family and friends and appreciate your interests. By keeping your lifestyle in balance you will get far more out of the year as well as prepare the way for the interesting opportunities that lie ahead, particularly in 2012.

       The Wood Rat

      This will be a year of important developments for the Wood Rat, with his personal life often memorable, possibly due to an addition to the family, the decision to get married or, if currently unattached, meeting someone who will quickly become special. On a personal level this can be a busy and eventful year.

      Also, with his ability to relate well to others, the Wood Rat will find himself in increasing demand, with many opportunities to go out and socialize. Whether meeting up with others through his work, his interests or his existing friendships, this will be an active and interesting year. For Wood Rats who have had recent relationship problems or are feeling lonely, perhaps having moved to a new area, the Rabbit year can see a brightening in their situation and their positive actions and personable nature can reward them well.

      Naturally no year is without its problems and while the Wood Rat’s relations with others will be positive, he does still need to be attentive. A lapse or faux pas could come to be regretted. Those Wood Rats in a well-established relationship should give time to their partner and be open and communicative. This is no year to make assumptions or take the feelings of another for granted. Fortunately most Wood Rats are considerate and aware, but extra attention this year can make an appreciable difference. May, August and mid-November to early January will see the most social opportunities.

      Another important feature of the year will be the chance the Wood Rat will have to further his interests and if there is a subject or activity that appeals to him, he should follow it up. Some Wood Rats may become intrigued by a completely new activity. For those who enjoy creative pursuits it would also be worth promoting their ideas, as they could enjoy an encouraging response. Rabbit years do favour creativity.

      In his work the Wood Rat could find this a slow-moving year, with the results of his efforts taking some while to filter through. While this may occasionally be frustrating, the Wood Rat can still derive much value from what he is able to do. This includes gaining experience in different areas of his work as well as getting himself better known. By making the most of this time, when opportunities do arise he will often be well placed to benefit.

      Most Wood Rats will remain with their present employer over the year, while those who decide to make a change or are seeking work would do well to widen the range of positions they are prepared to consider and, if eligible, take advantage of retraining opportunities. Their quest will take time and persistence and many Wood Rats will eventually be offered a position that is different from what they were doing previously. While initially this may be something of a challenge, what the Wood Rat is able to achieve this year can often be a significant platform that he can build on in the future. April, June, September and November could see some interesting possibilities, but whenever the Wood Rat sees an opening that appeals to him, he should act. Opportunities can arise unexpectedly throughout the year.

      In financial matters, the Wood Rat will need to remain disciplined. With his existing commitments and some additional personal expenses, he will find that careful budgeting is required. Fortunately his often thrifty nature will help, but Wood Rats, as with all Rats, can give way to moments of extravagance. While the Wood Rat and his loved ones will enjoy an often pleasing lifestyle this year, it is still a time for watchfulness and control. Also, if the Wood Rat enters into any financial agreement, he needs to check the terms and obligations. In financial matters, this is no year to be lax.

      Overall, the Rabbit year may be slow moving in parts but the skills the Wood Rat is able to acquire can often be personally satisfying as well as help to open up future possibilities. And on a personal level, this can be a meaningful time with important developments.

      TIP FOR THE YEAR

      Avoid rush. Set about your activities carefully and make the most of the present. The positive actions you take and abilities you demonstrate can reward you well, although maybe not straightaway. Also, make the most of your personable nature by using your chances to meet others and add to your social circle. With care, this can be a valuable year with long-term benefits.

       The Fire Rat

      Although on the surface this may seem a quiet year for the Fire Rat, what he undertakes now can have far-reaching consequences. The importance of the Rabbit year should not be underestimated.

      Fire Rats born in 1996 will find much of their time will be devoted to studying and education. With exams and coursework to prepare for, the more organized and disciplined they are, the better. There could also be some interesting developments in store as they take certain subjects or skills to new levels. In some cases they could become particularly inspired by some work they do and this could indicate areas it would be worth specializing in later or even taking up as a future career.

      Also, by taking up opportunities to extend their skills, especially in areas such as music, drama or sport, many Fire Rats will not only derive increasing pleasure from what they do but also find other possibilities beginning to open up. As far as personal development is concerned, this can be an important year and by making the most of the facilities and tuition available to him, the young Fire Rat can get a tremendous amount back from the effort he now puts in.

      It is also important that he remains open to new ideas. In some cases his interests or skills could take him in a new direction or lead to other activities that appeal to him. By being prepared to follow these up – and here his adventurous nature can help – he can make the developments of the year significant. The Rabbit year is one of considerable potential, but opportunities do need taking.

      The Fire Rat will be well supported in most of what he does throughout the year and should listen carefully to the advice he is given. Although he may have his own thoughts and inclinations, by being receptive he could be alerted to other options or helped with decisions he needs to make. Also, if he has any personal or educational problems, by talking about these he gives others the chance to help and advise.

      The Fire Rat will particularly value the support of some very close friends over the year and will not only enjoy sharing interests but also thoughts and confidences. New activities he takes up can also bring him into contact with others and lead to some helpful new friendships.

      Although the Fire Rat will often be very much involved with his own activities and studies, he should also aim to contribute to his home life. Whether assisting with certain tasks or just being open and talking to those around him, he will find his involvement and input can make a difference as well as lead to better understanding and rapport. The more involved he is, the better.

      For Fire Rats born in 1936 this can also be an interesting year, although throughout they will need to consult closely with others. Whether discussing ideas or plans they may be considering or concerns and problems they may have, by being open and willing to talk, these Fire Rats will СКАЧАТЬ
