I’m just about to wave goodbye to my Very Good Year Of The Dragon (my year) and wave hello to the Year Of The Snake. I’ve mainly been wearing something red this past year as that is what you’re meant to do to ward of any danger and whilst clearly there has been some danger in my life, my new red shoes and red splint have been helpful!

I’ve got quite a few friends turning 60 this year – The Year of The Snake – Lunar New Year starts this Wednesday 29th January and the celebrating continues until Sunday 16th February.
GUNG HEI FAT CHOY!!
Happy Lunar New Year to all.
I thought it would be worth highlighting what qualities to expect for those born in the The Year of The Snake:-
Is this your year?
Are you a snake???
If so, here are a few notes on the Snake:-
Principal qualities: You are reflective, organised, alert and wise.
Principal defects: You can be jealous and obstinate and do not listen to a word anyone says.
Work: You are wilful and determined, but you believe in organised and calculated actions so don’t like to waste your efforts or energy.
Best Role: You love philosophy and adore Greek and Latin.
Worst Role: Assembly-line worker – it would make you ill.
Money: You are not brilliant with money and not very economical. You like to please yourself and tend to live day by day, counting on luck, chance and intelligence.
Luck: To be born on a warm summer day.
Cannot live without: You cannot live without pleasing others.
Adores: Ornamentation and you love long nightly chats in bed and wearing fine things.
Detests: You hate to be taken in or set up as an example.
Leisure activities: You bizarrely like to repaint walls and move furniture around. You also enjoy quiet weekends in the country, playing classical music and reading.
Favourite places: Your favourite place is the desert or big wide expanses of land and your own home.
Favourite colours: Red and green.
Plants: A rock garden and ferns.
Flowers: Heather and thistle.
Professions: Jobs that would suit you include anything in the teaching profession, psychiatrist, psychologist, diplomat, ambassador, astrologer, clairvoyant, head of personnel and anything involving divination.
Have a fantastic year!
