2020 Chinese Lunar New Year of the yang white metal rat * the next 12 years

Know we’re already a quarter of the way thru this Chinese Lunar New Year, but I just flat out didn’t get to my annual foray into what may be in store for us with this Year of the Rat, and eye would like to know, so am giving things a whirl, and despite the tardy nature of my query.

Obviously there is the question of health, both emotional and physical. Apparently the rat is no fan of solitude, as she needs the support of her fam and friends, and without as much can lead to depression. With alternating bouts of loneliness and a modicum of a social life, we at times could even be on the brink of feelings of intense loneliness. The suggestion/caution is to pay attention to the quantity and quality of foodstuffs taken in, and to exercise to maintain balance.

We are tasked in trusting our instincts and/or emotions more oft than our pragmatic or rational analysis. And while challenging health wise, this year is also not without its fiscal obstacles.

The (ongrowing) story here is that decisions made this year could well influence and set the table/tone for the next twelve years. The advise is to get your finances in gear. To learn from past mistakes and failures, and that if one has invested in projects in the preceding year, that one can possibly expect to see incomes increase. ‘Tis best to renew ambitions and strategies, and to reexamine financial opportunity. The suggestion is to perhaps even make/take radical positions/choices, and to at the same time minimize your risk taking and to as best as possible also maximize your chances of success. Make plans and take action as spectacular and even unexpected achievements are possible now. Tap into your goddess given clairvoyance in trade and biz endeavors, and cultivate your intuitive intellect in the most brilliant and ingenious of ways. In times of (inevitable) contention, defer to diplomacy, exercising patience and an unwavering sense of determination and singlemindedness throughout. And even tho success is slow, take the chance, as you will likely be successful in the end. Be proactive as there are fortunes to be made. Seek permanence and stability, and make longterm investments. Speculative activities can prosper, and as the avg Joe or Josie can turn loss into gain.

The directive is to get a move on things, and with the quickness. Consider this a time of new beginnings and renewals, and time to chance’m. As we wish to move from instability to security, and to earn more money, remain disciplined and think in terms of longterm finances and health, and recall the words of LL Cool J: “Get comfortable with feeling uncomfortable.”
