In Chinese almanac, 2011 is the year of the Rabbit.
The year of the Rabbit starts at 1533, the moment on the “Start of Spring” on the 4th February 2011 Melbourne daylight saving time.
For animal sings, always remember that the cut off point is NOT on the Chinese New Year’s day. It is on the “Start of Spring” and it normally falls on the 4th or 5th February each year.
The year 2011 is year of the Rabbit and its element is Wood.
In Chinese almanac, each year is made up by two Chinese characters, one called the Heavenly Stem and the other called Earthly Branch. Remember the Heaven is on the top and the Earth is underneath.
When talk about the year of the Rabbit predication, the Heavenly Stem must be take into the equation.
The Heavenly Stem for 2011 is Xin. It is the element of Yin Metal. 2011 is called the Yin Metal Rabbit. (Xin Mao).
The Chinese characters for 2011 year of Rabbit written as:
Yin Metal (Xin) Yin Wood Rabbit (Mao) Yin is slow and secretive
2011, the year of the Rabbit, the heaven luck is somehow very much alike the year of the Tiger, except that the stem and branch are Yin. Yin is slow and secretive.
Yin metal is a small metal object. It symbolises a small knife blade, or a dagger. Mao is wood. It symbolises the back, neck, hip, and liver. So in the year of Rabbit, there will be plenty of secretive stabbings or plots. Health issues there will be outbreak of hepatitis in the east coast in USA, China or Australia.
Yin Metal sits on Yin Wood. It all starts from the top levels or the governing levels regardless public or private organizations.
Yin is slow and it is the second half of the year in 2011, and 8th September to 7th October is the most impact month in the year of Rabbit.
In 2011 it is the year of top levels still bullying or suppressing the bottom levels. The top levels will secretly plot against the lower levels or giving out some unexpected cunning attack. I forecasted that the top levels are bulling the lower level last year. You may still remember the big banks put the interest rate up much higher than the RBA increases.
2011 is the yin metal sits on yin wood Rabbit; everything will happen and change in a slower pace at the second half of year from August 2011 to January 2012.
2011, the year of Rabbit is a peach color year which having to do with romance, especially illicit romance, sex scandals and sexual affairs. The year of the Rabbit will have lot more news similar to the year of the Rat in 2008. eg: something like New York Governor Elliot Spitzer prostitute scandal, Jess Origliasso, Carla Bruni-Sarkozi, Edison Chen nude photos cases and so on.
It is very much the same as the year of the Tiger in 2010. The Yin Metal reduces the strength of Earth element. Yin Wood destroys Earth element. 2011 the year of the Rabbit, the Earth element will be hurt. There are a few meanings to this. The direct affect is the property price would have some impact. (I predicted this in 2009 for 2010, as you may be aware that the house price slows down sharply in Melbourne or in Hong Kong). This property price issue will remain very much the same in 2011 especially from August 2011 onward to January 2012.
Last year, I predicted: “The Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch of 2010 have no water element in them. Water is the bridge element of Metal and Wood. This means there is lack of communication between the Stem and Branch. Communicate and understand each other are important.”
(Rudd was dumped due to lack of communication with his colleagues.)
The year of the Rabbit, the growth is suppressed. Be very careful in March, June, September and December 2010 if you're on the share market.
2010 and 2011 “Pine Tree Wood” Year
Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch combine and produce Wood element for 2010 and 2011. It has a special name called “Pine Tree Wood”.
Pine Tree Wood is forest, paper industry, teaching, forestry and publishing industry. There will be problem of forests and land. (Teaching and education industry has a very big impact in 2010 since the number of overseas students has dropped 40%)
Also for the flying star number 7 locates at the middle of the palace in 2011. Number 7 is associated with young girls, mouths and gossip. The element of number 7 is Metal. Metal cuts the “Pine Tree Wood” that means there will be large scale of forestry destruction or nature disasters.
Number 7 in Feng Shui also represents bandit or robber. We will see more robberies in 2011 around the world. They are using metal objects – knives or daggers.
In Feng Shui age 2004–2023 is period 8 and 8 is located in the middle. The annual flying star number in the middle palace for 2011 is 7. 7 and 8 are both located in the middle palace for the year of the Rabbit. 7 is young girl and 8 is young boy. Dui and Gen forms the most lust trigram in I-Chang. So therefore, in the year of Rabbit, we will see a lot romance, especially illicit romance, sex scandals and sexual affairs. But this Gwa is benefit to the entertainment industry.
In terms of weather, temperature in 2011 will be a mild year compare with 2010. But it will have medium rainfall. The average temperature will be slight lower.
The year of the rabbit is four dragons producing water. Dragon is the water storage. Each year the more the dragons (maximum up to 12) produce water, the more rainfall it produces. In 2010 there were 10 dragons produce water, hence we saw flooding everywhere.
