Year of the water Snake |
Not a good sign to begin with: the clash between water and fire! This may
not be a harmonious year after all, but luckily both are yin elements and
therefore the severity of the conflicts can still be pacified.
The year will begin with Gui water as the ruling element. As Gui
characterizes the mist, dew and rainwater, the first four to five months of
2013 will continue to be in uncertain atmosphere (imagine walking in the
middle of the mist!). The sentiments will be moody in any way, even that
the market and political situations will be as sensitive as ever. However it
is not all doom and gloom as yin water Gui is well known for its romantic
traits.
Entertainment industries will still flourish as people are in the
mood to enjoy some romantic and fun activities (and yes, many babies
will be born this year too although not as many as during the dragon
year)
As the year progresses and the snake creeps in, this yin fire will trigger
global conflicts to another level. Like a candle that constantly flickers,
the world situation may heat up one second and cool down the next.
Snake fire has long been associated with hidden tensions that boil
underneath and can surface out anytime, just like a snake catching its
prey. Snake is also often associated with an imagery of long vehicles such
as trains and planes; be careful of traveling this year as there will be
more traffic accidents especially related to any long vehicles. Apart from
those, snake is a philosophical animal with many twists and strategies to
get what it wants.
The year of 2013 will be an intriguing one with many
ploys around; do not fall into one! Use this year to contemplate, plan
ahead and strategize, but do not hastily jump into actions so soon.
