2011...Year of the Rabbit

After going through 2010, the Year of the Tiger, this year offers a much needed reprieve.  Time to slip into a nice cozy spot and lick our wounds from all the battles we had to deal with.  I don't know about you, but I could certainly deal with a front row seat at the latest, greatest broadway production.  With champagne in hand and flowing, let's see what Mr. Rabbit has in store. 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 act with discretion and make reasonable concessions without too much difficulty.  It reminds me of Mad Men...good 'ol 60's diplomacy.
On the other hand, it's also a time to be wary of any overindulgence.  Rabbit's influence tends to spoil those who like too much comfort and thus impair their effectiveness and sense of duty.
Law and order will be lax; rules and regulations will not be rigidly enforced.  No one seems very inclined to bother with these unpleasant realities.  They will be too busy enjoying themselves, entertaining others or simply taking it easy.  The scene is quiet and calm, even deteriorating to the point of somnolence.  We will all have a tendency to put off disagreeable tasks as long as possible.  Remember, procrastination is not your friend.
Money can be made without too much labor.  Our life style will be languid and leisurely, as we allow ourselves the luxuries we have always craved for.  A temperate year with unhurried pace.  For once, it may seem possible for us to be carefree and happy without too many annoyances.

Never underestimate rabbit, though.  He is considered by some, a trickster.  Watch for surprises, especially early summer.


All Blessings Be.  )O(
