According to the Chinese Zodiac, the Year of 2011 is the Year of the Golden Rabbit, which begins on February 3, 2011 and ends on January 22, 2012. The Rabbit is the fourth sign of the Chinese Zodiac, which consists of 12 animals signs. The Rabbit is a lucky sign. Rabbits are private individuals and a bit introverted. People born in the Year of the Rabbit are reasonably friendly individuals who enjoy the company of a group of good friends. They are good teachers, counselors and communicators, but also need their own space.
According to Chinese tradition, the Rabbit brings a year in which you can catch your breath and calm your nerves. It is a time for negotiation. Don't try to force issues, because if you do you will ultimately fail. To gain the greatest benefits from this time, focus on home, family, security, diplomacy, and your relationships with women and children. Make it a goal to create a safe, peaceful lifestyle, so you will be able to calmly deal with any problem that may arise.
Not many people know that the Rabbit is the symbol of the Moon, while the Peacock is the symbol of the Sun, and that together, these two animal signs signify the start of day and night, represent the Yin and Yang of life. It is said that anyone making supplications for wishes to be fulfilled are certain to get what they want... and in the Year of the Rabbit, the wish-granting aspect of the Sun and the Moon combined is multiplied. The Moon is YIN and this is the Yin of Heaven, signifying magic. Thus on each of the Full Moon nights of this year, go out into your garden to gaze into the Full Moon and visualize plenty of Moon dust and Moon glow flowing into you, filling your whole body with bright white light and granting you fearlessness, love and courage. This will not only strengthen your inner "Chi" energy, it will also bring wisdom into your life.

Jessica,
I noticed you left a comment on my blog. Thanks for visiting. I've been poking around your blog tonight. I love the name of your blog. I love that it's named Scraplifter Designs. I thinks that's the best way to go. Why try and reinvent the wheel, right? I also noticed that you are expecting, Congrats! I suffered from infertility for 4 years. I tried all kinds of procedures and was on fertility drugs. We tried everything except IVF. My husband didn't want us to go into debt over it, so we put the baby thing on hold and tried to get on with our life, while we saved up money. A year later I got pregnant on my own, without any effort. It was all in God's time, not mine. We ended up having 3 boys in less that 3 1/2 years. One right after another. God is good. Congrats. I know you will be a good mommy. It's the most important and most rewarding job you will ever have. Shari
