Refinement, the watchword of Rabbits, is not too appealing to you. This year’s general atmosphere of calm elegance doesn’t inspire you to new heights of ambition or give you brighter hopes.

But the Rabbit is never hostile to Oxen. He respects your work ethic and may even try to steal some of your methods and copy your style. Rabbits are devishly imitative and have an enormous appetite for wealth and acquisition. Your collaboration might be just the ticket.

However, the Rabbit will never let you share his profits. I wouldn’t sign many documents this year if I were you. Allow things to move along at their own speed. Let events dictate Watch out for hasty deals made overnight.

This is a good year for redecorating, renewing a wardrobe or improving one’s appearance by plastic surgery. I know you aren’t much of a fashion buff, but, just in case you felt like spiffing up your wrinkles, this is the perfect time. Niggling details will get on your nerves this year.

The grass won’t grow the way you want or the stock market will quiver when it’s supposed to quaver. Don’t panic. There’s comfort down the road. Your characteristic patience and endurance will keep you cozy all Rabbit year long.
