Gong xi fa chai! The Fire Piggy year has ended the previous 12th zodiac cycle, say hello to the new year of the Rat. I personally don't feel any different (minus the fact that I do feel this CNY was a bit less than mediocre level mostly due to the economy), but hey at least can get together with the family clan at the evening and enjoy the smell of gunpowder at midnight in Kampua Town.
This year's fireworks lasted from 11:55PM - 12:35AM. Not bad. Signs that the townsfolk are still able to be prosperous despite the price hike. View from my room facing the Civic Center before joining the chaos there. And no Tominaga-san we don't get saman here because even the cops join in the fray...
Okay let's see what will happen to us in the 4705th Chinese new year of the Earth Rat.
Rat
The Rat will practically meet with no trouble this year. He/she'll charm numerous members of the opposite sex, and can experience many love adventures. Moreover, his/her levelheadedness and wisdom will bring him/her the admiration and esteem of all.
Ox
The Ox will congratulate him/herself on feeling perfectly in his/her element. The New Year will bring him/her a pleasurable sensation of physical and mental well-being. Sufficiently wise not to make a drama out of every grain of sand, he/she will close his/her eyes on the faults of his/her close ones and will thus preserve his/her interior peace.
Tiger
Rabbit
The Rabbit will find this year rather good. He/she will continue to win successes, especially in the field where creativeness is the key factor. But victory, however brilliant it may be, won't be enough for him/her and won't prevent him/her from having a painful feeling of emptiness from time to time.
Dragon
Luck will smile to the charming Dragon. He/she will prosper in many sectors of activity. And as far as amorous conquests are concerned, he/she will be among the luckiest ones. Will all that make him/her happy? It's little probable, for the native can't help having a feeling of dissatisfaction. He/she would have preferred, rather unconsciously most of the time, experiencing a profound and durable love instead of thrilling but transitory amorous affairs. He/she would also have wished to lead a richer and more intense interior life.
Snake
The Snake can expect some conjugal or family difficulties, just as many other people who'll go through this year. But, instead of taking the bull by the horns, that is, of trying to solve his/her problems with lucidity and aggressiveness, he/she may prefer burying his/her head in the sand - probably because his/her sign is also a winged creature like the ostrich!
Horse
This will be for the Horse the year of amorous fury. He/she will have a very hard time resisting his/her desire to indulge in foolish love affairs. His/her close ones will find it extremely difficult to keep him/her in the conformist path, not out of ethical considerations but out of concerns to spare him/her annoying complications. "Love, love, when thou holdst us, one can say: good-bye, prudence!" (La Fontaine). This will exactly be the case with the Horse!
Sheep
Eager for action, the Sheep may get somewhat bored this year and commit the worst foolish things. In order to canalize his/her energy into useful channels, he/she must join cultural clubs or participate in different debates and seminars.
Monkey
Profoundly convinced of the merits of traditional and conformist marriage, the Monkey will feel ill at ease in face of the free-and-easy attitude that will seem to prevail this year. He/she will probably react with much vehemence and awkwardness to this somewhat murky situation. His/her violent reaction might have undesirable repercussions on his/her general comportment, and particularly on his/her conjugal and family relations.
Rooster
The Rooster always considers life as a comedy rather than a tragedy, and this preserves him/her from pessimism and discouragement. He/she will therefore enjoy himself/herself this year, do foolish things, but will always keep a certain sense of measure. Moreover, he/she will study philosophers, particularly those who know how to make fun of philosophy, such as Montaigne and Pascal.
Dog
Some sentimental deceptions may be feared for this year. They'll be due not so much to human inconstancy as to a lack of imagination on the part of the Dog. Now everybody knows that routine and pedestrianism are the worst enemies of love!
Pig
The Pig may exceptionally encounter some financial difficulties, for his/her business won't be at top prosperity. But he/she should not wreck his/her health because of that by working excessively. On the contrary, he/she would better look for a good compensation in meditation and reflection.

Tiger
A rather mediocre year will lie in wait for the Tiger. But the native can find the joy of living if he/she continues to devote himself/herself relentlessly to improving the fate of mankind, for it's by being useful to others that one can find happiness. Anyway, he/she will have an interest in getting out of himself/herself and to subscribe to a cause instead of remaining bored to death in a corner.
Rabbit
The Rabbit will find this year rather good. He/she will continue to win successes, especially in the field where creativeness is the key factor.
