Forecast for 2010

Annual Outlook for 2009

Rat (1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996)

While there are many changes afoot, the Rat will receive help from Noble People. You will enjoy smooth relationships with others, with minimal troubles. Where your career is concerned, you need to stay in your current company this year. Help from others will elevate your stature and improve the situation, especially for those of who have more experience than you. They will be able to offer plenty of useful assistance and advice.

With Mr. Roar just a few days away and Mr. Moo going on a holiday and will be back in 12 years time, I sit here and started pondering about how accurate last year's 'forecast' from various Feng Shui masters.

While I did receive help from my friends when I needed it the most, it was not a smooth relationship for me with lots of problems including a break up. Career wise was even worst, I finally and happily quitted my job and have not been happier since. Getting sms from people who treated us bankers nothing more than free workers or escorts was the worst feeling ever. I'm so freaking happy to be out from it.

As for elevating of stature, all I can say is, I'm glad my stature didn't fall further down from where it was. Overall, the forecast was too vague. Couldn't make head or tail nor did it make any sense in the end.

Rat

You’re not as lucky as last year. There are several unlucky stars influencing the Rat. However, there are still eight favourable months ahead. Your luck in career and wealth is good, but not in love and health.

Yes, damn I was unlucky. Ptui ptui! Luck in both career and love was the temperature of Siberia and wealth and health was pretty much buried under the snow as well .

Career: You have a lucky star this year. Your boss will appreciate your talents and you will get the promotion you’ve been eyeing. But it won’t happen if you don’t fight for it. For merchants, bankers and sales people, you will make more than sufficient money.

Perhaps this is true for some as I seen some Rats getting promoted but it wasn't so for me. Should have scratched my ex-bosses face and give him a fist fight to remember. Dang.

Love life: Rats are not lucky in love this year. For married people, you’ll have frequent quarrels with your spouse. For those in love, it’s not a good time to push the existing relationship to the next level. Your love interest could have a change of heart. For singles, set aside some time for social life and you might find a new love interest, but do not expect things to develop rapidly.

*Nods head while rubbing chin*

So true, so true. He had a change of heart for sure but it proved to be a lucky thing for me afterall. Kakaka.. and I did manage to find a new love interest.

Health: You’re vulnerable to accidents and diseases. Too much pressure and lack of sleep might lead to poor health. Go for an annual medical check-up.

*Pats her body* Still in one piece, thank God. And all the pressure and lack of sleep lifted after I handed in my resignation letter. Medical checkup says I still have anemia. Sheesh!

Bah. Oh well, it was fun to read them anyway, take it with a pinch of salt. Been a sucker for all this astrology stuff for as long as I remember. Will most probably be reading again this year just for the heck of it.

The Rat
Rats are charming, elegant and clever. They can be a bit gossipy and prone to being distracted. They’re also thrifty and very good with handling money. Family and close friends are exceptionally important to them. The Rat is charming beyond words and throughout his undoubtedly long life he will always be popular and will have many friends.

Forecast for 2010
The Rat may be feeling quite tired and deflated after 2009, which saw him keeping his head down, working and staying out of trouble. The Year of the Tiger is going to be fast-paced for the Rat, which in itself does tend to make them slightly uncomfortable. But it is essential that they go with the flow and seize opportunities and take adventures – this year is going to be important for them. A lot of Rats may have dreamt of travel in 2009 but were unable to take trips either due to financial or work commitments.. This year will be so different! Travel will feature strongly for many and if there is dream destination in mind, it may become a reality during 2010. February and March can bring interesting work offers, while June to August and December will bring happy social occasions. Romantically, September and October bring tempting offers for single Rats, while those who are attached will find the summer most special. It is essential for all persons born under this sign to be extra thoughtful and caring throughout the year – an inadvertent remark or gesture could lead to discord with loved ones.
