my zodiac sign is ‘leo’. whether you consult a feng shui expert or an astro-diva’s horoscope column in some non-descript tabloid, you will be informed that leos are flamboyant, bold extroverts, the kind who’d part a crowd in hot-red costume that screams “hey, look at me, the life of the party is finally here!” which is why i don’t believe in horoscopes. anyone who knows me for 2 minutes would never guess i’m a leo. hm, perhaps i was just born a few days early and was meant to be a ‘cancer’? or is my “earthly branch” i.e., being born in the year of the rat, just getting the better of me? hm, pretty confusing.

so it was just plain curiosity, it being a chinese new year and all, that prompted me to see what the year of the rooster has got in store for me. and hear, hear…

The Frugal Rat - The “Concealed Charmer”
Strong emotions effect your good judgment and anxious Rats may feel ambushed without an exit at times. Beware of suggested investments or questionable ventures. Throughout 2005 devote time and energy to concluding projects which you are passionate about. In February your luck shifts abruptly and skyrockets upward to position you on top of the world. Romantic bonds strengthen as you become less fussy, making you enjoyable to be near. Avoid mixing too much logic with your love affairs. Ease off and take your sentimental life as it comes. Go ahead with professional projects, as the stars during 2005 will support your efforts. Those Rats whose occupation is related to chemistry, health services, hygiene, or scientific research will enjoy making progress in their careers. Your health remains good, however, keep a watch over your blood pressure. A year of new beginnings filled with happy family events even the possibility of a new addition to the family.

ok, let’s review: hm, the first three sentences are vague and general enough; should be applicable to anybody, anytime.

4th sentence: oh yeah, it did shift abruptly, but the top of the world isn’t it, exactly. hm, but there’s till more than half of feb left. maybe it’s referring to something else…

the next three sentences makes me feel like the shrew i have been the past weeks, hehe.. you got a bug in our bedroom, madam auring? er… shelly wu, pala?

whoopa, the next one sounds good! and the next–wait, my eyes just popped out! i have absolutely no clue how this will come about, but if it does, shelly, you’re in for a treat! pero teka nga, define “progress”?

i never had problems with my blood pressure, hm…

a year of new beginnings: how did she know? hubby’s gonna finish his PhD this year and that spells a lot of new beginnings, alright!

filled with happy family events: well, there’s definitely a lot lined up for this year…

a new addition to the family: oh.

i did say i don’t believe in horoscopes, didn’t i?
