The Year of the Rooster starts on 28 February and will be a busy and important one for the Rat. While the speed with which certain events may happen may disconcert him, he does thrive on activity and both personally and professionally, the year holds exciting prospects for him.
The speed of events is a key feature, though, and throughout the year the Rat will need to be alert to unfolding situations and be prepared to move swiftly. Opportunities could arise suddenly, particularly at work, and if the Rat sees an opening he feels well suited for, he should act quickly and put himself forward. He will often find his initiative and earnestness being rewarded.
Also, he could find that one opportunity leads to another. Setting about his activities in his usual enthusiastic manner will also help him when further opportunities arise. This is very much a year to advance, with April, May, September and November containing some particularly good possibilities.
For those Rats seeking work the Rooster year also holds interesting prospects. Again, though, these Rats need to be swift in making applications and need to remain persistent as well as be prepared to contact companies directly about possible openings. This is a year when initiative can make a difference. Even if certain applications do not go his way, the Rat should not lose heart. With determination and resolve, he may well secure a suitable position, and one which offers the chance of further development.
