Overall Forecast

In 2008, the current year and the earthly branches of the Rabbit meet, resulting in a Punishment Formation against the Grand Duke. This situation is akin to a clash with the Grand Duke, but with less negative influences. Usually, personal relationships will suffer under these circumstances, most likely through miscommunications or misunderstandings. If you are married, both you and your spouse will be testy with each other, and the relationship remains stagnant.

Aside from this, however, is is generally good news for Rabbits in 2008. Wealth Luck and Career Luck are generally good. You also have the auspicious Red Matchmaker Star active in your Life Palace−this is a good year to get married or start a family.

The second auspicious star in the Rabbit's Life Palace this year is the Moon Star. This star brings Noble People in your life - in this case, it will probably be a female person who will help you. Thus, you should pay more attention to female subordinates or superiors. In return, they will champion your cause and help you achieve your goals.

Rabbits should watch out for the influence of three negative stars: the Hook Spirit Star, the Piercing Ropes Star, and the Triple Punishment Star. The Hook Spirit Star will combine with Grand Duke Punishment resulting in a thorny relationship issues, and even a triangle. Couples readying for marriage should try not to quarrel over inconsequential matters, because the argument could pull the relationship apart. On the other hand, married Rabbits need to resist the temptation to stray.

The Piercing Ropes and Triple Punishment Stars exert a strong force in key aspects of your life. Monetary problems are likely because of the Piercing Ropes Star, while the Triple Punishment Star signifies troubled relations with people, including family members. Health-wise, you should not downplay minor ailments - seek medical attention at the first sign of discomfort, and make sure you get enough rest and rejuvenation.

Career

The good news is that Rabbits receive strong, influential support from female superiors at work. Thus, your ideas and initiatives will go far! You will be happy with your pay raise and progress in gradual but smooth. With your colleagues and subordinates, things may not be as rosy - disagreements are all too likely. Do talk things out and keep the peace when disputes arise, or you may become too distracted to perform well. There may be some thoughts of changing jobs, but this is not a good idea as things will be the same even if you make the switch. Be patient!

Wealth

The Sun Star can bring in wealth, but only through conservative means. Entrepreneur Rabbits should play it safe and avoid risky ventures, even though Direct and Indirect Wealth Luck are positive. Because of your strong female Noble People Luck, those who deal with 'feminine' trades such as fashion and beauty will reap much higher rewards.

The Piercing Ropes Star indicates a loss of wealth through peach blossom means, so be careful when dealing with women - avoid money matters with new female friends or you may end up cheated. Of course, this sounds contradictory as women are also Noble People this year - it simply means you have to exercise caution and good judgment with whom you trust. The good news for Rabbits who plan to marry this year is that everything will go smoothly.

Relationship

Relationships this year are complex and confusing. However, single Rabbits could meet the person they are looking for. Men have good Peach Blossom Luck and will meet a romantic prospect, although this person may possess a strong character that you will find unbearable. Single women have average Relationship Luck, and should not involve money matters in any relationship. As for married Rabbits, you need to be wary of love triangles and money problems related to the opposite sex that could complicate the marriage. Beyond this, relations are good with your superiors, but not so good with colleagues who are slightly jealous of the attention you are getting from the boss.

Health

As your body is rather fragile this year, you should make an appointment for a full medical check this year. See to minor ailments before the problem worsens, especially if the problem concerns your throat or trachea. Even the seemingly harmless flu could mean trouble for you. Pregnant women should take extra care, and female Rabbits should safeguard against gynecological problems.
