2009 Predictions
I don’t normally write about Tarot in this blog, but I thought I’d share: I pulled a Tarot card for 2009, which was the 8 of Wands/Staves. An excerpt from my favorite Tarot website:
Before acting, we think, imagine, speculate, talk and dream. This is the realm of air – the sky. Then, finally, we decide to make our move. We bring our ideas down to earth and put them into action.
In readings, the Eight of Wands is often a sign that now is the time to declare yourself. All the elements are ready and will work for you as long as you don’t hesitate. The iron is hot – so strike! If events are in motion, they will proceed rapidly. You may feel caught in a whirlwind, but soon the dust will settle, and you see how your plans have fared.
I found this quite suitable, as I’ve been planning to go to China to teach English for a few years, and now suddenly it’s only a month away.
According to the Chinese lunar calendar, the new year hasn’t come yet: Chinese New Year is on January 26 this year, and will be the Year of the Ox. For those interested, I found this Chinese astrology horoscope online, which goes over the Year of the Ox for the whole world and also for individual signs. I’m a Tiger, so here are some of the notable excerpts for me:
The Good:
You will be very popular this year and might be able to use this time to participate in more people oriented activities to enjoy and reap the benefits. Greater authority or responsibilities will be given to you this year, and this will be an opportune time to prove yourself. …
The Bad:
However, do not get carried away as the challenges this year will be sudden and harsh. …
Be careful not to allow yourself to be duped. This year, males will have better luck than females. For females, your luck will improve if you work together with males or seek help from males. …
Your wealth luck will not be good. …
You might also be prone of being robbed this year so avoid flaunting your wealth unnecessarily. …
If you are attached, there will be a stronger possibility that you will move on to the next phase of your relationship such as getting married. …
You should not take all the wining, dining and friendly smiles at face value as some people will have ulterior motives. …
Hrm, seems to be more bad than good, but from glancing at a few other signs, it seems that everyone’s in for a tough year. Maybe that’s normal for Chinese astrology? Their films and literature sure love tragedy, so why not astrology?
