Your fortunes in 2008
As you emerge from your opposite year of the pig (2007), you will appreciate the respite offered by the rat. Do not get too comfortable though as you will soon be on-the-go and will remain there for the rest of the year. It is going to be a busy one full of professional and personal opportunities. You could make a huge leap in your career with the pay packet to match. It is also an important year to make new friends and if you are unattached, you may even find a worthy partner who stimulates you mind, body and soul. However, 2008 will not proceed without a minor hindrance or two but nothing you can’t handle. You will regain your status, your power and your ability to balance your moods. For you to get the best out of the next twelve months you must try to moderate your behaviour and manage your resources wisely.

Your fortunes in 2007
The boar being your lunar opposite means that this could potentially be an awkward year for you. You may encounter people who are not enamoured by your wisdom and who fail to be taken in by your charm. This may affect your self-esteem and consequently, other areas of your life. However, with your tenacity and intrepid nature, you will develop new ways of handling situations that will serve you well. The boar is generous to all and will not leave you vulnerable so it will be a mixed year of blessings and lessons learnt the hard way. Your humility and sense of humour will be real assets.
