Quick jump to read about your own animal
sign:
Children born in the last part of the year of the Pig tend to be good-natured kids. They also make prosperous grownups. If I were still in the having children stage, I might very well attempt to hatch one or two bambinos in 2007. Seriously, if you are thinking of having a child, this coming year is ideal. Little Piglets know how to put up with all manner of adversity. They can sleep right through your loudest music and weather your marital spats, will eat anything you offer them that tastes good (and then some!) and usually grow up to be both generous and rich. What could be better than an easygoing kid who turns into a rich adult who enjoys your company and takes care of you when you're old? So much for progeny. What about the rest of humanity in this upcoming Pig year? Well, the Red Fire Pig (oftentimes referred to as the Golden Pig) year has an odd sort of reputation. Although Pig years usually offer us cornucopias of plenty, truckloads of conviviality and earthy pleasures unbound, this particular Pig year will be a bit skewed. Yes. It is definitely about excess and abundance. You will be reading more and more articles and watching videos and seeing movies about "The Biggest Meal" and "The Most Expensive Cars and Houses and Boats" and "The Most Wanton and Beautiful Women" and the "Most Popular Singers and Actors and Idols of All Types and Stripes." It will be a year of the MOST BIGGEST BEST. This "Most-ness" and "Biggest-ness" and "Best-ness" however is not thoroughly positive. Why? Because an atmosphere of planetary over supply has been created. This notion of surplus is of course bogus and has bestowed a false sense of confidence about the future on many. This imagined excess forebodes a glut which will necessarily tip the scales toward overload. And Readers, in the Red Pig Year, we in the "developed" countries have got OVERLOAD up the kazoo. Too much of every THING and very little of what counts. Health will be shaky. Fitness will suffer. Spiritual quests will be abandoned in favor of shopping for major purchases or first class traveling to sunny venues where the beautiful beaches have more beautiful beaches and the piña coladas weigh in at 3 liters. You will see. Big Macs will get bigger. Big deals will grow tentacles and become even bigger deals. If you thought it was impossible just wait and see - even SUVS will get bigger and take up more road space and guzzle more gas. If you thought it couldn't get "glutsier" just you wait and see. Some of us might think that's the good news. We are all going to have more "stuff' in the Pig year. Real estate and luxury items, jewelry and antiques, authentic old masters - everything having to do with wealth and affluence will be favored. But... this abject profusion of material possession means that anyone who is not rich or prosperous or rolling in gold bullion cubes will - by virtue of the scales being tipped too far - fare worse. Down down down they go and where it stops nobody know. Hence 2007 promises to intensify the division between rich and poor. Not that I can predict whether it will be Africa or Asia or America or Argentina or Australia which goes down the tubes; but I can clearly see that the very very underprivileged people in the overpopulated and underfed places in these areas of the planet will not get richer. They will not have enough to eat and will not have clean water and will suffer far more than they are suffering at this moment. Whilst those of us who have plenty and already eat too much will be acquiring more goods, using an increasing amount of resources and services and getting fatter and taking longer, more glamorous vacations. We fat cats will be driving larger, more opulent vehicles and sending our children to more exclusive private schools and playing more classy golf and swanky tennis and other "noble" types of games. In this Red Fire Pig year, I am sorry to repeat the old adage but it's true: The rich get richer and the poor get children. You may retort that this sorry state of affairs has always existed. And you would be right - to a degree. But this year because of the gawping abyss which will result from the gap between rich and poor people and their respective countries, all variety of clashes will arise. It will be a year of arguments leading to disputes and wars. A year of petty nuisances leading to gigantic legal battles. Not a feisty year like the Rooster or a perpetually justice-seeking year like the Dog, but a year of conflicts, hostilities, aggression. Do not despair. If you are reading this, you have a computer. And you have a place to use it in, which supposes a roof over your head and no bombs falling on same. Hence, the battles and contention of which I speak probably will not directly affect you. You will be more likely to be wallowing in chateaux or sizing up the yacht you plan to acquire or investing in art and antiques on one of your numerous jaunts to exotic lands. You (and your computer) are part of the fortunate prosperity population. Anything else to recount about this coming Pig year? Oh yes there is. Lots. It's worthy of note that while this sort of Pig year is indeed excellent for getting married and bearing children, it nonetheless promises to occasion many partings of the way. You may mourn a loved one or lament a close friend's moving to a foreign country. Divorce will be on the rise. Yet many older people will remarry and some of them will marry people many years younger than themselves. Also, because of the tone of impending clash, there will necessarily be political agitation, traffic or air space congestion and an overall snowballing of potentially incendiary events. One tiny out-of-place remark this year can lead to a battle royal. People will be arrested or jailed for minor offenses which, in other times, would seem trivial or trite. Families will break up over minor quarrels or differences of opinion. Thriving businesses will suddenly fail because of some apparently stupid accounting blunder. In this ambiance we are then well-advised to maintain what the Pig is so famous for - Decorum. Manners. Style. Protocol. When there is a surfeit of electricity in the air, we should endeavor to behave in a courteous, reasonable, tolerant and understanding manner. The Pig is far from perfect. But he or she is always known for being ineffably attracted to what is real, genuine and authentic. No costume jewelry for the Pig. No ersatz Beluga caviar or watered down Bordeaux wants to pass his pristine lips. This will not be year for chicanery either. Pigs have a kind of natural benevolence, but they are fussy about fine quality and have no room in their lives for shabby merchandise or shady people. Fire and Water elements are at odds in this year's Chinese Astrological pattern which is known as the "Female" Red Fire Pig configuration. This means (roughly) that we have to fear any and all disasters that have to do with Fire (volcanoes, forest fires, explosions, bombs, earthquakes and other incendiary events) or water (Floods, Tsunamis, Hurricanes, Typhoons etc.). We shouldn't be afraid. But we ought to try to be more cautious about where we store things and how we protect ourselves, our families and belongings with everything from carbon monoxide alarm systems to waterproofing and massive coverage by excellent insurance plans. To sum up, the Fire Pig Year will bestow twelve months of plenty on those of us who already have enough. And it promises to further impoverish the others. If you are a charitable soul, then be prepared during the Pig year to give away some of your newfound riches. I am not suggesting you send a bland impersonal check for a thousand dollars to a charity organization. They might only use it to do more advertising. Rather I advise you to give a hand to people in trouble, a leg up to someone who has had bad luck or cannot get a job. Lend and even give away money to those who find themselves ill and without insurance. Sometimes just a few extra bills in the pocket of person in dire straits can lift their spirits enough to begin to propel them out of the dumps. Give a bit of extra money to a man who is out of work and he might be able to avoid a family crisis by inviting the wife and kids out for pizza or ice cream or both. If you haven't got any extra money yourself, but you do have some strength to spare, go mow the lawn for the lady who broke her hip or do some grocery shopping for a man who is alone or old or ill. Take care of peoples' kids or offer to wash their car or clean their house. When other folks are in need, they are often too proud to ask for help. Don't just offer. Bypass their resistance. Go and Do for the needier than you. As the year 2007 has already begun in the western world, we can see it will not be a peaceable one. There are already skirmishes and in-fighting going on everywhere from Spain to Chechnya and Kosovo in London and Paris and Amsterdam - not to mention the disgraceful situation in Iraq. Civil wars will break out. Normally peaceful people will inexplicably freak out and explode in the faces of their neighbors. But as I said earlier, do not despair. Keep yourself and your loved ones safe. Instead of mouthing off about what's bothering you, turn your tongue over seven times before speaking and above all, in this potentially super charged year of prosperous conflict - keep your shirt on Dude. The Pig year is the final one in the cycle of twelve Chinese animal signs. Since the last Pig year (1994) we have seen all variety of behaviors come and go. Lately, it seems as though we have all been living in or worrying about some war zone or another. Well, you will be happy to know that with the exit of the Pig year "The Testosterone Era" is over. More and more women are engaging in politics. We must seriously consider voting for those courageous women, encourage them to take the reins and become our leaders. 2008 is a Rat year. A new beginning. Rats are about power and charm and protectiveness and hoarding supplies for the hard times ahead. That's what women are about too. Taking care of their own. sw What Is Going to Happen to You in 2007?
What is favored for Rats this year is romance. You have a unique opportunity coming along mid year in the form of someone who will love you unconditionally (not an easy task) and will follow you to the ends of the Earth because of how much they admire you and require your attentions. Do not ignore this person's advances. Unless, of course, the person was born in a Horse year. Horses and Rats, although initially magnetized by each other, do not usually make it past the first year of passion. And when that passion is spent, the Rat and the Horse begin to squabble and fight and bicker and self destruct. So fall in love. But not with a Horse. Okay? This year, there are tons of people out there who want to distract you from your personal goals, divert your attentions to their woes and keep you from advancing. Be firm yet kind about saying the word NO. You cannot lend money and you cannot travel with them or help them move or take care of their children. You need to concentrate on your own life. Make that eminently clear. There are many adventures ahead for you this year. Pay special
attention to your health and grooming. Go to the gym and take advantage
of the outdoors more often. Hike in the woods. Go skinny dipping in
country rivers. Ride the waves in the ocean. Enjoy yourself and take
advantage of the Pig's generosity while you can.
You usually plod obediently along doing your job under the yoke (self-imposed or not) of your chosen profession. And now? All of a happy sudden you want to do something new and different and slightly outrageous. You want to move to a new city or leave the city for the country, change jobs, divorce or separate, fall in love with a lap dancer or a become a gangster's moll or in some outlandish manner completely shift gears, burn rubber and zoom yourself out of your rut. This groove of yours may have been utterly satisfactory till now. You even felt safe and secure there. But the benign influence of this Pig year on Ox subjects will change all that. You will not require that feeling of safety anymore. You will not wish to depend on the security you once so blindly counted on. This year, you can know that you are protected and therefore you can
DARE. How to dare is up to you. Wherever you choose to go, love and
money will be plentiful. The trick is that you must do the going. All by
yourself. You must give up what you have to get what you now so long for
- freedom of movement and the affection and admiration of the people you
care about. So to get what you want, you have to give up what you have.
The ball is in your court. Either play it or put the yoke back on and
keep on keeping on as a drudge.
What he doesn't understand about you is what will get in your way this year. Because you are such a peripatetic person, and are attracted by novelty and are given to distraction, you will assume because the constraints of the difficult Dog year are behind you, that you can spend and give and squander your money. The Pig year does give us a sense of plenty. But as I advised above, we ought not to be lulled into a false sense of security about that plenty. You, being you, barrel ahead and pounce on the new goodies that you see being thrust at you. In other words, you overspend. If you are not more careful about where your money is going in the first part of this Pig year, by September you will find yourself behind a financial eight ball. So tighten your stripes Tiger. Contain your desire to be too generous to those you love or those you feel are in need. Hang on to your rainy day war chest and do not sell the family jewels in order to acquire a fancy new car for your sweetie. Despite the atmosphere of glut and lavishness which characterizes this Pig year, put yourself on a budget. Give wantonly of your love. Slather your friends in attention. Make surprise phone calls home, send sweet letters and don't forget the birthday cards. If you travel (and you should) go someplace less luxurious where you can hike up a mountain. Or trek through some wondrous forests or go fishing in nearby raging rivers that you have never taken time to visit before. Because you are such a risk-taker, you sometimes make mistakes. Big
ones. So the message is simple. In the year of the Red Fire Pig you will
want to take fewer risks so as to make fewer mistakes. Instead of
charging off somewhere new, allow yourself the luxury of being a
different you. Sit still more. Read, listen to music, paint, write or
learn to dance. The Pig will approve and reward you for lowering your
profile.
Cat/Rabbits enjoy investing, This year is one of plenty so you will feel even more like stashing some money in stocks or real estate. Do choose placements wisely. Any real estate you purchase must be sound on the ground and not require too much renovation as in Pig years, the work - painting, plumbing, wiring etc - tends to cost more than the actual house or building. As for stocks and bonds, make certain the person who advises you or invests for you has made money (a considerable amount) for friends and/or relatives whom you can trust to give you references. Be extra cautious. Check out the background of anyone who handles your finances. This year there are many underhanded stock schemes about. Where love is concerned, this year will bless you with a highly-charged adventure in the form of a passionate romance with someone you have always known but never thought romantically about. You'll encounter this special someone in familiar circumstances - a daily elevator ride, a staid charity event or at a parent teachers meeting - smile at each other and leave it at that. Then, for one reason or another, one of you will phone the other or you'll meet up by accident at the mall or the supermarket or perhaps you will stop at the same stoplight by co-incidence. In fact, the entire affair will come about because of a series of circumstances and when you finally do find yourself in bed with this character, you will be not only thrilled but mighty surprised. Who would ever have thought that you would find Jake or Hannah attractive? Your health is generally sound in Pig years. This year however do watch out for conditions having to do with your heart rate, (tachycardia) joints (arthritis) or teeth (gum infections). Don't ignore symptoms in hopes they will go away by themselves. All in all, this will be a quiet, prosperous year for the careful
Cat/Rabbit - as long as you keep your head down when crises arise.
Eschew shady financial operations and disengage from family spats right
from the get go.
The Pig prefers you to be well-mannered, sedate, decorous. So muffle that booming voice of yours and tone down the racket you make with your eternal interruptions and uncalled-for commentary. Cut back on the parties and celebrations too. Invite a few friends in for dinner. But hold the monster "bashes" and celebrations that you are so famous. Quiet dinner parties can be counted on not to turn into free-for-alls where the women dance half naked on the tables and the men end up drunk and snoring in a stranger's bedroom. I guess I am telling you too cool it. Chill. Be convivial. Summon 4 or 5 guests for quiet evening around the fire or the DVD. But instead of holding forth on your latest coup in the financial markets, keep your counsel and let the others get a word in. Family strife will abate this year for Dragons. Money will be more plentiful and opportunities to improve your lifestyle will come along lickety-split in late Spring. Someone may offer you a free vacation cottage or lend you their motor launch or give you a ticket to somewhere exotic. This will be a generous year for you and many triumphs lurk where you least expect them. Watch out for gossip. People are notoriously jealous of Dragons - especially women Dragons because they are so lusciously attractive and charismatic. You have surely dealt with this phenomenon before. But this year, either in the work place or in a group you have joined outside of the home (aerobics class, Yoga, art classes or woodshop etc.) there will be a person whose envy cannot be quelled. You will no doubt feel their spiteful vibes and will try to be kind to this person. That tactic will not work. When someone takes a dislike to you and whispers about you because of jealousy, you must not be cowed by their attitude. You have to bust them right in front of everybody. Try something like, "Look Pamela, I'm well aware of the dirt you've been spreading about me and I don't care. So just chill. Got it?" A gossip whose cover is blown will back right down. Why? Because gossip is only fun so long as it's sneaky and clandestine. All in all this Red Fire Pig year will be kind to you. Even romance
is favored and lots of newfound passion as well. This flare up of hot
sex can either be re-discovered with a spouse or live-in partner or it
can come along suddenly and gob smack you right in the heart where it
will do the most good. You can relax a bit this year as the setbacks
which befell you over the past couple of years are behind you now. In
this Pig year, you will be able to concentrate on the good life. But do
lower the volume a few decibels.
The Pig year for Snakes offers down time as well as constructive pursuits such as house-hunting in the countryside and hefty chances for major career advancement. With the extra time allotted you this year, do me a favor and don't make any snap decisions. If you see the farmhouse of your dreams and the agent tells you there is someone keen to buy it right out from under you, tell him or her that you can risk waiting a day or three in order to study your budget and think over the advantages and drawbacks. You are "on a roll" now. Try not to blow it by making a rash move that will empty your bank accounts and re-introduce you to bill collectors and general insecurity. Find the bargain abode you can manage financially. Even a fixer upper. With your excellent taste and some elbow grease, you will have that place pulled together in a wink. Then, in a year or so, when you find it too small for your growing family or your professional needs, you can sell it for double what you paid. If during the summer of this coming year, you get to feeling misunderstood by the world in general and by your loved ones in particular, try not to give in to depression. Cry. Weep and even wail if you must. But don't slither away into melancholy or be tempted to feel overly sorry for yourself. This year's slump for you will come in August or early September as you will feel the weight of the world is upon you. You may be sad and even lonely. Advice? Call up friends you know will make you laugh. Read funny books. Surround yourself with people whose sense of humor cracks you up. Laughter really IS the best medicine. When you're down, a good giggle picks you right up and cheers you along. Except for that little summer glitch, you have a mighty constructive
year ahead. Willy nilly, you will be more and more in the limelight -
perhaps doing some theater or singing in a cabaret, writing scores for
musical comedies or inventing lyrics for songs you have picked out tunes
for on the piano. Do the creative things you love and when you're tired,
lie down, read and watch old movies on TV. This Pig year bodes a
promising time for even the slinkiest of Snakes.
Not to worry. That gate will lift and open wide toward the month of June and what's behind it is a smooth path to just where you always wanted to go. Take that trip around the world. Build a swimming pool or a new house. Start your own business or take up an extreme sport you have always wanted to perform but didn't dare. The Pig's influence on Horses is almost always encouraging and imbues even the most stubborn Horse's person with newfound energy and belief in self. If ever there was a year to stop smoking, give up drinking, lose weight or cease biting your nails, this is it. You will have so many new activities avalanching into your life and so many people cheering you along that you can't miss. Discipline will be a cinch for you because of this built-in support group. Same holds true for getting rid of any lingering neuroses you might want to shed. Find a therapist and talk it out until you have thoroughly understood how to stop being so quick to anger or to weep when you see a small child or to laugh inappropriately or slam out when you can't stand what you are hearing. If something mild like that is wrong, you can fix it with therapy and if that doesn't work, try Neuro Linguistic Programming. NLP is a certainty to eliminate obsessive behaviors and rid yourself of worn out phobias I advise you then for this Pig year to take a hard look at your life
and cut yourself some slack where your natural industriousness is
concerned. As you are a born work horse, when you let up on the labor
accelerator, you sometimes panic. "Oh My God!" You think.
"I should be doing this or fixing that or arranging this or that or
calling this one or sending that one a check..." etc etc ad nauseum.
Instead of panicking, give yourself some time off for creative pursuits.
Sing, dance, act, write, paint or draw. But don't keep whipping yourself
to get more done. Beat yourself up to learn patience. Once you have
become patient with yourself, you will find you are far more tolerant of
others.
This increased sense of well being will allow you to propel yourself through a languorous, but productive twelve months. In the early part of the year, you will start to plan and even begin to undertake projects of enormous proportion. You may decide to travel to a faraway place and actually settle there. Or you might make a move to a new city with a completely different job more suited to what you love doing than the job your are currently in. Or you may open a business, master plan a startup or ask for and actually receive venture capital for a zany new idea that you have been hatching for years but never dared divulge before. For once you will be encouraged by your family and urged by colleagues and friends to indulge your fantasies - painting, drawing, ceramics, music, writing, sculpting or any other creative endeavor will work for you this year. If you have always dreamed of being on stage, you should go for it. Especially after the summer holiday when school and work resume. Join an amateur theater group or why not move directly to Hollywood or New York, study acting or singing or comedy, then start showing up at auditions. You will pleasantly surprised by the smashing results of anything artistic that you try your hand at this year. Romance? Well, love is very much present this year. You can feel cozy and pleased about all the love being showered on you. Your significant other however will not be thrilled by your desire to leave town and run away to join the Magic Circus. You should none the less carry on with your plan to indulge your creative bent. If the person who loves you so desperately wants you to be happy, he or she should let you go for as long as it takes to satisfy your need to express your deepest emotions. In short, if you have always longed to be a dancer - Dance! And don't let anyone or anything get in the way of your progress. Wherever you go, do remember your manners. You have a quirky sense of
time and can work round the clock and sleep the same 24 hours next day
and not be bothered or thrown off kilter. This eccentric way of dealing
with time can cause conflicts with more rigidly scheduled people.
Perhaps your oddball planning suits you. But it doesn't always jibe with
what is needed in a professional setting. The Pig is patient with you.
But beware overstepping your bounds by not maintaining decorum in your
lifestyle. Whatever you do, don't let the Pig's unconditional love make
you lazy. There is no worse rage than the anger of a Pig betrayed by
someone he so dearly loves.
So let's just say you are at odds with the Pig's straightforward approach and irked by his intentional innocence and naiveté. So during these years when the tone is all about sincerity and authenticity, country living and the joys of sensuality, you will frequently be annoyed, feel cranky and want to run away to a different planet where the people are as wily and entertaining and full of ruse as you are. My advice to Monkeys during the Pig year has always been to keep a very low profile. That isn't difficult for you as you prefer not to be in the limelight anyway and always operate behind the scenes. But you should be extra cautious this year - especially during the hotter weather when the Pig is at his or her most vigilant. If ever you had a secret project to accomplish in the privacy of your study or laboratory, this is the year to get at it. Research arcane subjects of interest to you. Spend time in the library reading up on ancient monuments or memorizing jokes for next year's Rat parties when your life will become peppier and a lot more fun. Your family may fail to understand your retreat this year and attempt to draw you out of your shell with much cajoling and lots of indiscreet questions. This extra attention will only further irritate you. But remember. Your spouse or your children have no idea why you are no longer out in the world making those giant waves you are so famous for. Be patient with them. Read to them or explain the intricacies of your current work. Money will not be scarce, but you may feel constrained or pinched by circumstances and not wish to spend a lot. This can of course create dissension with loved ones, employees and family members. They are so accustomed to your abject generosity and squanderous gift-giving that they simply will not understand. Give fewer, smaller gifts then. But don't cease bestowing kindnesses and treats on everyone in your entourage or they will indeed believe you have gone mad. Your health should be carefully monitored this year. Make appointments with all of your doctors now and get the routine checkups they offer you. Once those are accomplished, you can feel free to travel a bit and even pay visits to friends and family members who live far away and haven't seen you often enough in the last few years. This year is not a disaster for you Monkey. But it could prove to be
duller than most.
I wouldn't surprised if the above-mentioned sweetie is hankering to move outside the city. He or she may only want a weekend house or even to rent a farm house for a summer or one year - just to see if her lover (you) can learn to enjoy peaceful pastoral settings and the smell and tickle of grasses up to your waist. As your workload will be reduced this year and you will still have quite a healthy pile of money stashed, you will be tempted to try to please your significant other and spring for the house in the boondocks. Do be cautious about what you buy or rent. The house of your dreams might be infested with vermin or termites. There may be ghosts or even some skeletons in closets. Do serious research on any property you have your eye on and don't be in a hurry. Yes. This year real estate investments are favored and indeed protected. But better safe than sorry. I need to remind you too about vigilance where your health is concerned. You probably don't have any serious diseases, but you may well fall victim to a series of digestive disorders this year which , even when treated with medication , don't go completely away. You may decide you want to do a colonic cleansing or eat only well-washed fruit and vegetables for a few weeks to rid yourself of whatever poisons your body has been storing up due no doubt to stress. A lawsuit that has been lingering in the background of your life will
suddenly dissolve this year. It probably won't disappear until the Fall.
But the person who had in mind to harass you no matter what will become
tired of the game and will simply retreat. You will also be lucky at
gambling. I am not suggesting you start playing professional poker, but
you might want to fool around at a casino or two and even buy a lottery
ticket from time to time - especially in August.
What will upset you Dog people most this year is the continuing pattern of injustice that you see all around you and can do nothing about. You will often be upset because either your sister-in-law took all the money from your brother's savings account and skedaddled to Europe with a Latin lover or your mother's third husband left her high and dry without a penny or place to call her own. You cannot tolerate the misdeeds of others and what's worse for you is that you are forever trying to right the wrongs you see happening - often with disastrous results. You offer to comfort your bereft brother by lending him to money to go fetch his naughty wife in Italy and he tells you to mind your own business. You try to reason with your mother's ex and get him to come back and start paying the bills again. Then your mother rings you up to tell you to stay out of her private life. Sometimes Dogs just can't win for losing. Instead of sitting around fretting over what you can't do, why not go about doing something you are good at? Get involved in a charitable movement where small things make big differences: Big brother or sister programs where kids who need guidance are taken on a one-to-one basis and given the love and protection and companionship they so desperately need and never got at home. Or perhaps you could offer your services at a homeless shelter or give time to a Samaritans group doing phone answering for people in need of someone to talk to. There are many ways to right wrongs that don't include being insulted by your relatives. A healthy retreat may be in order as well. You had a very busy year last year and were frequently called upon to bail out friends or clients. Why not plan a journey somewhere tranquil? Invite your sweetheart along on a barge trip along the canals in England or France. Go fishing in a mountain stream where the only sound you hear is water burbling over rocks. Go trekking in the Redwood forests in northern California. Do something peaceful which will de-stress you and restore your inner calm. You may not know this now, but money will be plentiful for Dogs -
particularly later in the year. I am not promising a giant inheritance
or even a windfall. But the care and perseverance which you have been
applying to doing business or performing your job over the past couple
of years will offer a surprise payoff. The news may come to you via
e-mail and you may even consider it a joke or fear that your have been
Spammed. But the newfound income will be real and you will be leaping
for joy. Just you watch. But for heavens' sake - don't worry.
Essentially you Pig people need this year to plan the next dozen years of their lives. You have had a few serious setbacks in the past couple of years and there has been much confusion in your mind as to what you should do to stem the tide of misfortune that seemed to be upon you. Confusion is stressful and anxiety-producing. And these reversals of fortune have left you reeling. Of course you did what you thought was best. You attempted to pay back the perverse fates by helping other people. Service is very often your weapon against adversity. You hate to watch anybody suffer and you love to dispense conviviality and goodwill. So your way of treating the ills you see around you is to offer your help at the polls or volunteer at the Red Cross or hold meetings at your house and bake the brownies and cookies and generally give of your time and of yourself in an effort make things right. So at this point, at the beginning of this Pig year, you are virtually worn out, exhausted and wondering what the devil you are supposed to do now? For starters, you are advised to rest and regain your strength in the beginning of this year. By April, when the year is in full swing you will be amazed at the number of administrative and political activities you will be called upon to manage. You are, after all, the king or queen of the hill now and all eyes will be upon you to carry out your duties properly. Do not panic. You are a responsible person and you will perform your job well. Take it one step at a time, surround yourself with wise advisers and make it your business to check every last detail so no corruption or graft is allowed to soil your pristine reign. Last year, someone took serious advantage of your kindness and either cooked the books or borrowed money they didn't repay. Normally you don't retaliate quickly when wrong has been done you. You sincerely want to believe that everyone is basically good and you will make up excuses for them until the cows come home. I suggest that by June of this year you have hired a lawyer and
commenced dealing with the person or persons responsible for cheating
you. Get yourself a tough attorney. Don't go to someone as nice as
yourself or you may lose even more money. Make certain the lawyer you
hire is at least as ruthless as the person or persons who ripped you
off. Then let him or her do the dirty work necessary to recover your
losses. I see you as a winner this year. There will be trials and there
may be some sentimental disappointments. But you are a savvy planner.
Keep moving steadily toward the gains you so richly deserve and don't
look sideways for a second. There are enemies out there. But if you keep
your nose to the grindstone and don't entertain their presence or
acknowledge them, they will soon tire of attempting to put sticks in
your spokes and move off to do harm somewhere else. |
