2008 and the Year of the Ratby MARLYNA LOS
East meets West with Asian New Years Customs making their way to you. The year of the Rat is coming. The Chinese have studied the energies of time for 1000’s of years and are masters at prediction. We look here at how 2008 affects people and your home. The Concept of the Cosmic Trinity is at the centre of Chinese Metaphysics. The Cosmic Trinity of Heaven, Earth and Man, is considered the fundamental framework of the universe. Heaven Energy looks at the energy you were born with and time; Earth Energy is your environment; Feng Shui and Man Energy is what you do with what you have been given. The Energies of the year of the Rat are seen to influence your heaven and earth energy. This is a general look at your home and astrology. People and homes have a template or natal chart that for a complete analysis needs to be considered as well. The celebration for the Year of the Rat takes place on the New Moon on February 7th. However, Astrologers use February 4th and the Solar Calendar to make their calculations for predictions in the upcoming year. Millions of Asian People are already getting ready for the New Year. They likely had their four pillars astrology chart done at birth and are very aware of how the upcoming energies of the year will be affecting them. For instance, single ladies and men born in the year of the Sheep, Pig or Rabbit would know that the year of Rat is considered to be their “flower of romance” year. There is a high likelihood of romance or marriage coming their way. Fear not if you are looking for romance and you are born in a different year, as there are four pillars – the year, month, day and hour of your birth are all represented. Tzu Ping Four Pillars astrology takes the moment or day that you were born and records that information into Four Pillars. Each Pillar yields two elements, one of the 12 animals and one of the five elements. 2008 is the year of the Earth Rat. The Rat is water, so this year we have earth and water energy. Good or bad luck this year depends on how these energies mix with the elements in your chart. The Year of the Rat is the first animal in the Chinese Zodiac. This year is considered a year of new beginnings for all of us. A Rat year is a time of hard work, activity and renewal. Overall, it is a good year for launching new products, fresh starts and beginning a new job and even marriage. The Rat is known for its charm and its intelligence and innovation. The Rat belongs to the water element and is strong water; it is also the first of the 12 animal signs. People who are born in the year of the Rat are known for there charm. They are ambitious and intelligent. They love to socialize and party and can talk up a storm. However, they are actually private people and will usually keep their problems to themselves. Rats are known for being good at business, very organized, quick witted, confident and stubborn. They are often hoarders, and have trouble letting go of things, “You never know when you will need this.” People born in the year of the Earth Rat are respected, courageous and enterprising people. Of course, the entire horoscope must be considered when making any in-depth assessments. FORECAST: Rat (if you were born in 1996 1984 1972 1960 1948 1936 1924)
