Chinese New Year
Wishing all of you a very Happy New Year! May 2011 bring you success, prosperity, happiness and most importantly the good health to enjoy it all!
This year Chinese New Year falls on the 3rd of February and we welcome in the Year of the Rabbit!
If you were born in 1999, 1987, 1975, 1963 or 1951 - you were born under the sign of the Rabbit. A person born in the year of the Rabbit possesses one of the most fortunate of the twelve animal signs. The Rabbit, or Hare as he is referred to in Chinese mythology, is the emblem of longevity and is said to derive his essence from the Moon.
The Rabbit symbolizes graciousness, good manners, sound counsel kindness and sensitivity to beauty. His soft speech and graceful and nimble ways embody all the desirable traits of a successful diplomat or seasoned politician. The Rabbit is extremely lucky in business and monetary transactions. Astute at striking bargains, he can always pop up with a suitable proposal or alternative to benefit himself. His sharp business acumen, coupled with his knack for negotiation, will ensure him a fast rise in any career!
