The basic character of a person born in the year of the Rat is that he/she is optimistic, gentle, wise, intelligent, intuitive, a self starter, helpful, active, sociable, honest, full of energy and self confidence. An artistic person who has a keen sense of the surroundings and can develop keen intuition with proper guidance.
As the Rat will conflict with “Tai Sui” (太岁) in 2011, there is a need to pray to “Tai Sui” (太岁) for health and good fortune, and also to be safe by avoiding misfortunes. The prayers can start on or after 04/02/2011.
The forecast for you would be smoother then the previous year. You would be blessed with many “Lucky Stars” (吉星) that demonstrate excellence but there would be a small group of “Disastrous Stars” (凶星) as well. However, the many “Lucky Stars” (吉星) will be more than enough to prevent the disastrous ones from doing any major harm to you.
With the help of these shining stars, you would benefit in career development, maybe even looking forward to a career change or starting of your own business and even reaping great returns in your current business or investments. For students, you will have a chance of passing your exams with flying colours if you put in your heart and soul into your studies.
Being a careful person with good judgmental skills, although you have a strong foundation in your career and family, you must not be too rush to put things in place, stay in low profile, plan well and keep a smooth and steady pace before engaging gear. However, your success will cause lots of jealousy from those "Xiao Ren" (小人) who find you a threat because you outshine people easily. Try to be more humble and lower your authoritative leadership style. Gaining respect is always much better than demanding for it. You can definitely achieve success if you are able to exercise your powerful and analytical mind.
You will have to be mentally prepared for issues that might lead you to court, thus it is best to avoid becoming a guarantor or give yourself any chance to land yourself in legal binding issues. Also avoid involvement in all kinds of illegal activities; it will surely lead you to the court one day.
For Love Life, if you are still single, your opportunity has come and you will most likely meet your loved one, if you have not got married last year, do not let this opportunity slips away. However for those who are already married, you have to be wary of the “Tao Hua Star” (桃花). Do take note not to be too involved in entertainment or after office hour activities with the opposite sex or it will affect your family life.
Health is normal for this year; however, do avoid too much indulgence in alcohol, stress and lack of rest will affect you if you do not know how to handle it with care. Find time to rest and relax with your family and loved ones, take a short trip or learn meditation, it will be good for enhancing your physical and mental health.
