get get get, hoard hoard hoard, home home home

happy Chinese New Year today - it's a Rat year (every 12th), in an Earth cycle (every 5th) - that's like adding earth-signedness to the characteristics of the year - earth signs being us Virgos and Capricorns [methodical, shy, obsessive] and Rat years being ones in which wealth and/or material circumstances are central : The Earth adds solidity to the cunning Rat. This results in a year in which stabilization is prized, slow and steady acquisition of materials/wealth is favored, personal feelings of safety and satisfaction in/through materiality (i.e. nesting and hoarding and saving, etc.) are likely to increase [especially for earth signs and/or people born in a rat year] - the yang will be an increase in generosity towards family and very close friends, and investing in those relationships

[all that sounds incredibly good to me, which probably means it translates to stuffing the mattresses full of cash while being such a hermit that the neighbors wonder if you're the unibomber]
