The Wood Rat

Оглавление

‘Diligence leads to riches’, as the Chinese proverb reminds us, and the effort the Wood Rat puts into his various activities this year will reward him well. In many ways this can be an encouraging time for him, although in the light of previous developments there will be quite a few Wood Rats who start the year disappointed with recent progress or nursing some regret. These Wood Rats should try to draw a line under what has gone before and focus their attention on the present. In particular, if the Wood Rat has specific objectives to meet or ideas he would like to explore, this is a time to take action and see what materializes. With a confident, determined approach, much can come to pass, but the Wood Rat does need to be the instigator.

This is especially the case in his work situation. For Wood Rats who are following a particular career, this is an excellent time to progress to a new level. Sometimes this will occur as more senior staff move on and create promotion opportunities, but if not and it looks difficult to move forward in the Wood Rat’s current place of work, he should investigate openings elsewhere. He knows he has great potential and he should not allow himself to languish this year.

For Wood Rats who are dissatisfied with their present situation or seeking work, the Goat year offers change and opportunity. Although the job-seeking process will be demanding, by making enquiries and actively following up vacancies (sometimes in a different capacity from what they have done before), many of these Wood Rats will be successful in gaining a position on which they can build in the future. March, April, August, October and January 2016 could see important developments, but throughout the year chances can arise suddenly and need to be acted upon before they are lost.

Progress made at work will also help financially and in addition the Wood Rat’s astute nature will assist him with some transactions and purchases, especially concerning his accommodation. However, with many outgoings likely, he will need to control his budget carefully. Also, if entering into an agreement at any time, he should check the terms and, if appropriate, obtain professional advice. Financially, he can fare well this year, but he does need to be thorough.

As far as his personal interests are concerned, this can also be an encouraging year. Wood Rats who are creatively inclined should make full use of their talents and consider promoting their ideas and work. Also, no matter what interests the Wood Rat may have, it is important that he sets time aside to pursue them. The Goat year favours personal growth, and developing his personal interests can bring the Wood Rat pleasure and keep his often busy lifestyle in balance.

This Goat year can also be personally memorable. Some Wood Rats may decide to marry or settle down with their partner or see an addition to their family. Affairs of the heart are splendidly aspected and Wood Rats who are unattached will have an excellent chance to meet someone who is destined to become significant.

Throughout the year the Wood Rat will also value the support of his family and close friends. With ideas to consider, decisions to take and work changes likely, he may be particularly grateful for their first-hand knowledge and assistance. Throughout the year he should not hesitate to ask for advice should his situation warrant it.

In addition, he will enjoy his social life, including the way certain interests bring him into contact with others. New friends and contacts can be important both now and in the future. May, June and August to early October could see the most social opportunities and the Wood Rat should aim to make the most of them. This is a year to be active and involved. Much can be gained as a consequence.

Domestically, too, this will be a busy year. Accommodation matters could be prominent, with some Wood Rats deciding to move to more convenient accommodation or carry out improvements on their home. A lot of time and effort is likely to be spent on practical activities and while these may sometimes be exasperating, by the year’s end the Wood Rat will often be surprised and delighted by how much has been achieved.

Another feature of the Goat year is the sudden opportunities it can bring and throughout the year the Wood Rat needs to keep alert, particularly as unforeseen developments can make certain tasks and decisions easier. In some instances, just mentioning an idea can set important wheels in motion or lead to a helpful suggestion being made. Serendipity, luck and an unexpected helping hand can all play a welcome part in this domestically fulfilling year.

With his determined nature and many personal strengths, the Wood Rat has great potential and this year will offer him the chance to make more of himself. To reap the benefits he will need to look to move his situation forward, but throughout the year he will value his relations with others, and personal developments can help make this a splendid and memorable time.
