What major changes will 2008 bring? Economically, Politically, Socially, and Spiritually?

2008 is the "Year of the Earth Rat" in the Chinese Lunar Calendar. What will be the significant changes in the Year of the Earth Rat?

Did you know...For Astrology and Feng Shui forecast, the Year of the Earth Rat starts on February 4th? Rather than following the Chinese New Year which uses the lunar calendar, we use the solar calendar. Although the it is the Year of the Earth Rat, Earth is actually not a strong element that year. On the contrary, water is strong. Water symbolizes our emotions and thoughts. Many will find 2008 to be a mentally and emotionally challenging year. 2008 consists of both the Earth and Water elements; yet they do not clash. The South will have a potentially dangerous star in 2008. You will need to take precautions not to unleash its harmful energies!

Expect a powerful year, when people are firm about their goals, passions and aspirations. This is an excellent time to start a business, buy property, invest in long-term plans, or accumulate wealth. All ventures begun in Rat years will prosper if well prepared. The Rat loves the pack, so it is also a time for socializing, entertaining, and enjoying themselves.鈥?br>
