happy new year

THE OX YEAR 2009


JANUARY 2009 rings in the Ox year on the 26th. From that day forward, we will be under duress. The Ox is a striver, a worker, a challenger, a taskmaster and something of a despot with that. The news is good for those who enjoy working and the news is less than lovely for any lazy parkers who might be lurking about looking for handouts.

This January, you will want to pack up all loose ends from the Rat year 2008 and burn them. After that, gird your loins. Prepare to push that rock, slowly and painstakingly, up the mountainside. The most appropriate word I can think of to describe most everybody's New Year is STRUGGLE. Get ready to toil and strain to rebuild what many too many years of desultory flim flam have wrought. Get ready to plan your life differently. Budget. Economize. Save. Take fewer risks. Secure your home. Secure your career. Put the lid on spending. Spend spiritual time. Work out more. Walk. Run. Do not hurry. Do not flash riches. Care for and respect your elders. Don't spoil you children or allow them to get fat. Discipline will serve you well this year.
