2011—The Year of the Rabbit
(compiled from various sources)
According to the Chinese Zodiac the Year of 2011 is the Year
of the Rabbit, which begins on February 3, 2011 and ends on January 22,
2012. The Rabbit is the fourth sign of the Chinese Zodiac, which consists
of 12 animals signs. The Rabbit is a lucky sign. Rabbits are
private individuals and a bit introverted. People born in the Year of
the Rabbit are reasonably friendly individuals who enjoy the company of a
group of good friends. They are good teachers, counselors and
communicators, but also need their own space.
The
Year of the Rabbit should be a peaceful year, a time of calm, leisure and rest,
much welcomed after the Year of the Tiger. Money can be made more easily, but
can also be spent more easily. A time to watch out that we do
not become too indulgent. The influence of the Rabbit tends to spoil
those who like too much comfort and thus impair their effectiveness and sense
of duty.
The
year of the Rabbit is traditionally associated with home and family, artistic
pursuits, diplomacy, and keeping the peace. Therefore, 2011 is very likely to
be a relatively calmer one than 2010 both on the world scene, as well as on a
personal level. An opportunity for relaxation, pleasure,
family gatherings, entertainment and comfortable travel.
A
temperate year with unhurried pace. For once, it may seem possible for us to be
carefree and happy without too many annoyances. Take advantage of this period
because the Dragon year that follows will bring a wilder, more exhausting time.
According to Chinese tradition, the Rabbit brings a year
in which you can catch your breath and calm your nerves. It is a time for
negotiation. Don't try to force issues, because if you do you will
ultimately fail. To gain the greatest benefits from this time, focus on
home, family, security, diplomacy, and your relationships with women and
children.
Good
taste and refinement will shine on everything and people will acknowledge that
persuasion is better than force. A congenial time in which
diplomacy, international relations and politics will be given a front seat
again.
We
will be supported in acting with discretion and in making reasonable
concessions without too much difficulty.
Make it a goal to create a safe, peaceful lifestyle, so you will
be able to calmly deal with any problem that may arise.
Remember,
whatever the omens portend, for better or worse,
you are the final master of your own fate.
