Tiger and Rabbit Years 2011-12
Tumultuous Tiger Year (2010-11), with its Yang Metal Year Element, brought conflicts and crises affecting global money-supply and national currencies. Rabbit Year (2011-12) is providing some welcome rest and respite necessary to prepare for the oncoming Year of the Dragon. Yin Metal, Rabbit Year (2011-12) Element, suggests a focus on personal, rather than national, finance and on conservation and cultivation in this and other fields.
