THE YEAR OF THE LAMB

This is a smooth year following that of the energetic Horse. A year to relax and make peace with oneself as well as with others. Things progress slowly and we find ourselves more sentimental and emotional. The Lamb's influence will draw us closer to home and our families. We find ourselves caring more about those close to us and being more liberal with our time and money.
        Patron of the arts, the Lamb will bring out all the creativeness in our natures. We will be productive and imaginative in artistic and aesthetic ventures. The pessimistic vibrations cast by him will also make us oversensitive and fretful of little problems. In our undertakings, we may become easily discouraged or hypercritical when things are not to our liking.
        On the world scene, things will be tranquil and subdued. Take time off to cater to your whims and fancies. But keep a tight hand on your purse string, too, as there could be repercussions caused by overspending.
        Hopefully, the Lamb's love of harmony and keen sense for coexisting with his enemies will preserve this year from many upheavals. The moderates and doves will be heard and heeded. Wars, international conflicts and mutual animosities usually end in the year of the Lamb.
        The serenity of the Lamb's peaceful ways will slow things down a bit for the more intensely active signs, but after all, this is not a year for whirlwind activities - it is one for introspection.
