2011 Fortune Forecasts and Predictions

Fortune Forecast

General Forecast for 2011

Since this is the Year of the Rabbit, people born under the Rabbit sign will experience some undesirable impact. Poor health, career obstacles, relationship problems, and diminished income – these are some problems that the Rabbits are bound to face this year. Home life will also experience some disruption in the form of unexpected family issues and runaways. Your business may also experience some hindrances, so remember that looking ahead can be difficult, but attempting to make things right after they’d gone wrong can be just as problematic. Be cautious. Interpersonal relations will also suffer this year, with misunderstandings and reckless words causing stress between you and your family and friends. Students should double their efforts in their studies, lest they suffer setbacks. In other words, Rabbits should be more careful as they go about this year.

It’s not all misfortune for Rabbits this year, though. In the lunar months of June, September and October, a benefactor will extend a helping hand, and opportunities for improving your business, love life and career will appear. Rabbits should grab these opportunities and face them head-on with much confidence.

Wealth

Rabbits may be facing a deficit – and even bankruptcy – this year. You may even be forced to dip into your savings. Against your best judgment, the need to spend is strong and you’ll be likely to blow your income on unnecessary things, hence affecting your ability to save. This year, avoid investing, gambling, or lending money, as it might be impossible to recover the amount you put in. Be wary of your expenses!

Career

The year will not be favorable for working Rabbits, so do remember to put more enthusiasm into your interaction with your bosses and clients. Harmony is crucial this year so do try to avoid unnecessary word wars, especially with friends of the same gender. This could lead to the breakdown of relationships and could hinder your career development. Rabbits should face reality head-on and be serious in their work responsibilities to gain a significant achievement.

Relationship

Rabbits will have a more peaceful love life this year, but those who are single may not be able to meet any potential lovers. If you do meet someone you’re interested in, be bold, make the first move and do not let this opportunity pass you by. For married Rabbits, your domestic life will be a little humdrum, but take care not to mishandle relationship problems or you could end up with family discord to deal with.

Health

Your health fortune is quite worrisome this year, so address even the smallest illnesses quickly. Avoid temptation and give me more time to peace and meditation to ensure physical and mental health improvement. Be cautious, as you are prone to accidental injuries this year. Remember: try not to participate in risky and dangerous activities as well.

Special Forecast for the Youth

The year will not be smooth sailing for young Rabbits. You may experience some half-heartedness in your studies, and even love life. Parents should be more caring and loving, while young Rabbits themselves should apply themselves with double effort in order to achieve their goals. If not, it would be very easy for their academic performance to slide down this year. 2011 is good for traveling and broadening your horizons, but do take note of the cleanliness of food items you consume.

Special Forecast for Women

Married life is humdrum this year, but family and marital problems may easily appear. You must try to remain calm and increase your tolerance and understanding to avoid love problems. Health is generally the same for you this year, but remain cautious and ensure that you and your family are on a healthy diet. Young female Rabbits may experience negative developments in their love lives. A breakup may be imminent if you don’t put more effort into caring for the relationship.

Tips to Improve your Fortune

The Rabbit will run into a few unfortunate hindrances and misfortune in terms of career, health and wealth so display a green charm to counteract these. The “Three Harmonies” charm should be displayed in the eastern side of your home. This charm will help Rabbits improve their finances, lessen health woes, dispel negative vibes, increase wealth and allow them to meet the year’s good luck with a body in tip-top shape. Wear a matching “Three Harmonies” pendant to double the effect.

To improve your career or business, display an “Auspicious” charm in your home or office. This can help in your career and business progress, with a possible promotion in the near future.

For wealth, Rabbits should display a “Golden Frog of Wealth” charm in their homes, offices or business premises. Business will boom, income will grow and wealth is sure to follow.

Rabbits should display a “Double Lotus for Hundred-Fold Harmony” charm. Single Rabbits will experience increased desirability, while those already in relationships will find an improvement in their love lives as couples.

To improve your health, display a “Shen Ao [a turtle with a dragon’s head] Blesses the New Year” charm in your home. The charm will minimize illnesses and improve longevity, as well as reduce psychological and emotional pressure. You will be able to achieve relaxation at home, with a much better ambiance that contributes to overall good health.

Forecast for Specific “Rabbit” Years

Born in 1951: Your luck situation is less than ideal, with your desires far exceeding your abilities to fulfill them.

Born in 1963: Be cautious of the lunar months of October and November.

Born in 1975: This year, you will be able to earn a substantial amount but may not be able to keep it. To change your luck, try your best to save when you can.

Born in 1987: This is a good year for you, and you will undoubtedly experience good fortune and an increase in wealth.

Born in 1999: Try to ensure peace this year, and learn to overcome mental and emotional pressure.

People experience fears. Some lack courage to overcome these fears while others are brave enough to face them. It is true that we can't easily face our fears because they are exactly what we do not like. They are exactly what we are afraid of. 

Sometimes, our fears are just products of our imagination. For example, the ghosts that most people fear of ... most people say that there are ghosts; some say that they have seen these "ghosts" but experts claim that their experience of seeing things might be a part of their imagination ... and maybe, these imaginations are caused by many factors such as movies that are watched by the person.

Despite these phobias or fears, we must always put in our mind that if we have the courage to face them, there is a big possibility for us to overcome these fears.

December 2010 Vacation

My Vacation? It was not that enjoying for me... My family and I stayed in Baguio for the whole vacation. There was nothing new... each day was just like an ordinary day. Actually, it doesn't seem a vacation for me. 

Christmas Eve... it was not that enjoying either. My parents just grilled some food while my younger brother and I stayed inside the house and used the computer until twelve midnight. The next day, we went to SM and watched a movie (Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote) after that, we ate and went home. 

My parents planned to go to Pangasinan and celebrate our New Year there. I was so excited because I wanted to be with my cousins; it's been a long time since we had visited our province and I know that there will be lots of fun there. 

I waited until December 31, 2010 - the day that we were supposed to go to our province - but December 30, 2010 something unexpected happened... my mom got a message from my dad saying that our car wouldn't start. That time I knew that their plan of going to our province will be canceled. 

Also, that day, I had a fever. Asthma had attacked me again. It usually attacks me whenever I have cough and colds. I thought that I will be okay the next day but I was wrong. I still had a fever. My mom and I still wanted to go to Pangasinan but my dad won't allow us to because I was sick. 

At around 4 in the afternoon, my parents bought foods for our celebration. I was supposed to accompany them but I was not feeling well so I was left at home. I took care of my brother while they were gone and after they arrived I slept because I was a little bit dizzy. I just woke up at around 11 in the evening. Fortunately, I felt better.

I enjoyed our New Year celebration more than our Christmas celebration. It is because during our New Year celebration, I saw that everyone was excited... everyone was noisy and there were lots of fireworks.

Even if I didn't enjoy my vacation that much I am glad that I spent my vacation with my family. I just hope that my vacation would be much more enjoying next time. :)
