January 20 - January 26, 2025
As you reach the last full week of the social and serendipitous month of the Ox, you are likely to be on the go, with people to see and places to go. Yet with the Moon now well into its waning phase and the quieter realms of the nostalgic and reflective month of the Tiger just around the corner, always being available will be starting to lose its appeal. You are still likely to be connected and plugged in, but the closer you get to the New Moon early next week and the start of both the month of the Tiger and the long wind down of your current personal 12 month lunar cycle, the more you are likely to savour those moments when you get to disconnect and put out the 'do not disturb' sign.
Year of the Snake
Jan 29, 2025 - Feb 17, 2026
Here you have a mutual admiration club. The Snake likes the whimsical Rabbit, and the Rabbit likes the Snake and its gentle ways, creating a year that is much more to the Rabbit’s liking, with lots of smooth, quiet ambience and plenty of time for daydreaming. Both the Rabbit and the Snake like to escape from life’s realities, ponder the complexities of life, let new ideas form and to generally navel gaze. The Rabbit doesn’t like to approach life head on, and the Snake doesn’t ask that you do. What the Rabbit sees in a Snake year is mystery and that is going to send your sense of curiosity skyrocketing.
Suddenly, you're excited and your creative juices are flowing again, after what seems like a very long time. You've been buried under life’s demands and realities for a little too long and once again you have permission to become a dreamer, which is what you were born to do. As your imagination fires up and your confidence kicks in your ideas will start becoming more innovative, as a new creative cycle kicks in. This is going to keep you busy, not with life’s demands and responsibilities, but with the things that excite you and your imagination, whether it’s tinkering away in the workshop on your latest invention or exploring different trails that your imagination and a sense of curiosity leads you down.
This opens the door to a year where you're likely to meet lots of interesting people and broaden your social circle, though this may also challenge you to move out of your comfort zone. The Snake will keep you on your toes just enough to make sure you don’t escape too much from reality and that you don’t let things slide, with any small emergencies that crop up from time to time a reminder to keep your eyes on the ball. This is an important year for learning, sharing ideas and for all things creative.
About the Rabbit
Rabbits are sensitive, caring and gentle creatures. It is considered the luckiest sign in the zodiac, for Rabbits have good characters. They are likely to come out unscathed from situations that could devastate most of us. They are shy, sentimental and popular amongst friends.
The Rabbit is non-confrontational and prefers to negotiate and compromise with quiet intelligence. Although when forced to, they will fight with courage and fierceness, hence their passive disposition must not be mistaken for docility. At worst, Rabbits can be moody and has certain deviousness because of their wish to avoid confrontations at all cost.
They are pleasure-loving creatures. They love being at home and the idea of love and marriage. Rabbits will frequently engage in temporary relationships that provide physical passions, although they rarely engage in anything long-term unless there is a solid promise of comfort and ease.
