ASTRO-FACTS: RAT's corresponding Occidental Astrological sign is SAGITTARIUS. December is the month. The time of the Rat is from 11:00 p.m. to 12:59 a.m. Your direction of orientation is the north. RAT's color is light blue.
ASTRO-FACTS: The counterpart to the RAT of Chinese Astrology is the Zodiac sign of SAGITTARIUS which is ruled by planets JUPITER and MARS (2nd decan). Many RATS like to travel (which may will do during the last week of NOVEMBER). Fact is, many RATS feel more at home in a different state or province, and/or in a foreign country.
KEYWORDS: Quick mind, clever, good bargainer, natural charmer.
PROVISO: Astrology works if you work to make it work. Of course, nothing much will happen if you don't make it happen. Truly confident people know how to move on and find a happier side of Life. They believe nothing unless it agrees with their own principles and basic common sense. Then, they act on it and move forward!
BEST: MONKEY, DRAGON,
GOOD: OX, PIG, RAT
SOSO: DOG, TIGER, SNAKE
AVOID: ROOSTER, SHEEP, RABBIT, HORSEFAVORABLE DATES: AUGUST 22-31; SEPTEMBER 1-30
CHALLENGING DATES: JULY 30-31; AUGUST 1-21
I CHING for JULY 30== There are a lot of changes going on, mostly destabilizing ones. Intimate relationships might be crumbling and dissolving possibly due to conflict of personality (strong egos). Beware of getting involved in a judgmental, religious or political argumentative conversation. Make sure you share secrets or confidential information with people who really deserve your Trust. Let go of people who pretend to be supportive but are not. Manipulators who win your confidence only to drain you of your emotional energy (or funds), don’t really deserve your friendship.
I CHING for JULY 30-31 the LAW== A conflict with the law is possible (speeding, cell phone, texting while driving, road rage). Setbacks could result mainly from alcohol abuse. Drinking could get you in trouble. Drinking while driving could pose a danger to yourself and others. Accident potential is high. Drinking and driving could get in prison. Drinking on the job can interfere with your performance (inconsistency) and can damage workplace relationships. Drinking at work could get you fired. Don't wait for the worst to happen. You might come to bitterly regret over-speeding while under the influence. Please,don't drink and drive. Be careful, you will sleep a lot better and probably not in jail!
I CHING for JULY 30-31 MONEY: When it comes to financial, material and survival matters, most RAT born people seem to be plagued by nervous feelings of insecurity sometimes anxiety. During the last week of JULY, progress depends on discipline, clear and quick thinking as many of you will make way for major radical changes that could affect your work and your lifestyle. Squarely facing these limiting fears with the appropriate coaching given by an experienced financial counselor should help RAT born people reclaim their power to fulfill their ambitions. A more comfortable lifestyle is astrologically forecasted for the period between SEPTEMBER 9 and OCTOBER 8. Great!
I CHING for JULY 30-31 WORK: This is a tense and unstable week when what seemed to be secure ceases to feel as safe. Caution is advised. Some of you might become unemployed either by quitting your job (not recommended), being laid off, or fired. Some of you might become unemployed either by quitting your job, being laid off, or fired. What to do? If you focus on strengthening your survival skills, most probably your Life won’t fall apart. Indeed, if you are recently unemployed, retired, between jobs, or looking for work, the obvious solution is to network. So, to stand on your own, experience new beginnings, and reborn to better times, make a break with the past. New contacts through networking will help you and restructure your basic foundation. GOOD LUCK!
WORKABLE STRATEGIES== Have you reached a plateau where you are not going anywhere? Should you get out on your own and start your own business or should you seek reemployment with a more congenial employer? Should you consider self-employment? Of course, you should. Why not? Self-employment and freelance work do involve additional responsibilities but these days, better feel overworked than unemployed.
The secrets to your progress are self-confidence, assertive actions, and persistence. So, cultivate an unshakeable self-confidence despite the current unexpected and probably unwanted changes and a radical shift. This weekend, set some time alone to get adjusted in preparation for some deceptive news. Then, make clear detailed plans to put your Life back on track.
To materialize your realistic short-term plans, make the growth of your ambitions more manageable. Knowing your limitations and boundaries can save you many frustrations. On the other hand, most confident people are not afraid to make mistakes. When you plan a personal, or money making project, consider the possibility of failure. Want to take some risk? How confident are you? If you don’t realize your objectives, accept the delay (AUGUST). Delay is not cancellation.
Pursue your passion. To create the lifestyle you have always desired to have, take control of your destiny right this weekend. Your project will soon become reality. Astrologically when? Something valuable will emerge of whatever blocks your progress. Indeed, thanks to your sense of self-confidence combined with firm determination to solve your problems many of you (not all, of course not all) should expect a noticeable breakthrough between mid-SEPTEMBER and mid-DECEMBER!
I CHING for the month of AUGUST: If you have the impression that you are on a fast track and that your situation will keep on going well, well, think again. Since unfinished business prevents you from moving ahead between AUGUST 1 and 21, both your temper and your nerves can be on edge. Indeed, since you could be more vulnerable to disharmony and losing your job, your income, your spouse, better think twice before having an affair with a friend’s spouse or with a coworker. What to do? Gaining proper perspective is absolutely necessary during this awful month.
Yi-KING-KOIN== You are right at a pivotal point. Will it be success or failure? Up-to-you. Please, don't blame SATURN.
I CHING for AUGUST 1-2== Reconsider your decisions before making them final. A better option might be available. Explore alternative options and things will turn out well. The main cause of your problems might originate from your search for a cause. Let go the search for a cause and there is a good chance that the problems will go along with it. The solution is just around the corner. Possibly (probably) between SEPTEMBER 9 and OCTOBER 18. You deserve the best, don’t you? Well, the best is yours to get. Your Cosmic Assignment now is to materialize before 2010 ends the progress you work so hard to get. Don't deceive yourself. Do your best to meet that target date of OCTOBER 18, 2010. Great!
WORKABLE STRATEGIES: Develop a system to recognize and avoid high-risk situations. In other words, you need to come up with an action plan that would liberate you from the bondage of your past actions. Then, start rebuilding right now with whatever you have at your disposal. No doubt your persistence and determination will pay off. You are a winner, aren't you? Of course you are!
I CHING for AUGUST 3-4: Consider all fact and details before making a final decision.
I CHING for AUGUST 5-6== Because most RAT born people tend to be intelligent and diligent workers with an extremely good memory, they presently have an opportunity to prove their sharpness and prowess in business and financial matters. Employed or self-employed, even unemployed, progress will come from steady and persistent effort but mostly during SEPTEMBER and mid-OCTOBER. In other words, no one can stop you from becoming successful, but yourself. Understand?
I CHING for AUGUST 7-8: Avoid highly speculative ventures.

SEPTEMBER: Expect lots of constructive development possibly. Astrologically, the last 3 weeks of SEPTEMBER seem to be the ideal month to materialize a concrete short term project or to activate some drastic changes (lover, employer, residential move). An important chapter of your life is coming to a turning point as long as you are prepared to turn the page, and move on. How? Meeting people with similar interests or needs and interpersonal communicating, building more meaningful connections, and promoting your talents and pursuing your ambitious plans should soon bring remarkable improvement to your lifestyle. So, do what matter most to you. And, do it now. Moving in the direction of your choice will surely contribute to your enjoyment of Life. GREAT!
OCTOBER: A past relationship still engages you emotionally? Deal with what you don't want to face. This month is the ideal period to accept your part of responsibility for what happened in the past. What? You don’t feel at all responsible for the breakup? Well, it is up-to-you to turn the page (or not) and bring on a new chapter in your Life. Fact is that you don't really have a choice. Taking this crucial step will ease your exit from what was most probably an unsatisfactory relationship. Are you ready to experience the intimacy of a true partnership but with a different mate, a more acceptable and more compatible one? One who has the potential to shower you with attention and tons of affection without making you feel beholden, controlled and manipulated. Are you ready to experience real JOY (finally)? Why? General prospects for loving relationships and friendships are astrologically much brighter during OCTOBER, NOVEMBER, and DECEMBER. So, if you are willing and available, if you have been without anyone for an extended period, someone who shares your values and meets your standards (cheerful, easygoing, and socially broad-minded) might come into your Life. Falling in love will make you smile. And, together both your lover and you will shine. You will look better, and feel better. So, enjoy that felling. Astrologically, RAT born people are most compatible with MONKEY, DRAGON, PIG, and OX born people.
NOVEMBER: Being cautious can spare you many frustrating disagreements. For example: if in the past your efforts were overlooked and undermined, if you have been spending precious time fighting and clawing for everything, well, several astrological aspects for NOVEMBER indicate that you might be exiting this harsh adversity if you build better connections with the very people you care about. Your gain? Creating an emotionally rewarding companionship with a supportive friend, colleague, or boss will sweep away the loneliness you experienced in the past. Discovering the wonders of friendship is all fine but you must first reach out. How? Simple, do some volunteering during this Holiday Season!
DECEMBER: Many aspects of your Life are getting back on track. Good Fortune seems to be returning to you. provided you make the most of your business/commercial administrative abilities. Indeed, major chapters will begin to work out as you intended about a year and a half ago but were delayed for reasons beyond your control. Such as? Becoming the satisfied person you always wished to be. So, prepare for that opportunity of a lifetime astrologically forecasted for this DECEMBER, next JANUARY, and FEBRUARY 2011. So, remain committed to the process of change begun but by no means completed!

FENG SHUI:
1- One effective yet simple remedy to shield your home from large or tall objects is to plant trees or shrubs around your house.2- Dying plants or trees should be removed from your yard immediately because of the bad FENG SHUI they create.
3- To circulate and spread luck and prosperity, please use plants and crystals to help chi flow throughout a room and throughout your house.
4- Dried flowers give off excessive yin energy and should not be used in the home or office.
5- Use live plants as much as possible because they enhance chi movement and, like crystals and hollow bamboo stems, they seem to have the capacity to filter negative sha into positive chi.
6- Chinese tradition says that a crystal chandelier is a powerful source of yang energy which might attract money and success for an entire family.
7- Always energize the south corner in your home with red candles, the southwest with a pink quartz crystal, the west with a horseshoe or metal hangings, the northwest with a wind chime or a brass bell, the north with a fountain, the northeast with a ceramic bowl or figurine, the southeast with purple flowers, and the east with a potted plant or small tree.
8- If inside your home there is a fireplace or a wood stove, hang a mirror above the fireplace and place live plants pottery and ceramic pieces on each side of it to prevent beneficial chi from escaping up the chimney.
9- Displaying images or a drawing of a crane or of a deer symbolizes longevity; of an elephant, good fortune; of a tiger, protection; of a green dragon, phoenix, and turtle, good fortune. Images of a white tiger are viewed as overbearing.
10- Hanging red tassels help retain chi energy.Remember, FENG SHUI works if you work to make it work.
So, give your GOOD FORTUNE a chance to materialize!Copyright ©2010 ASTROMARC.COM----All rights reserved
