Ding-Wei Year · Rat: Slow steps, hold the root

Year & natal — Rat (子) and 未 form 六害, a quiet friction year. This is not a year to break ground; the more you want to push something forward, the more you'll want to grant it one more night of thought before acting. Work & rhythm — Expect small frictions at work and a few old agreements asking to be re-clarified. Before signing anything new, get the verbal yes into writing. If a job switch or large outlay tempts you late in the year, hold it until early next spring — the year of speed often becomes the year of rework. Relationships & ties — Petty arguments crop up easily with peers; with elders at home, the answer is simply more presence. A soft retreat outdoes a long debate. This is also a year for repairing old ties — a greeting three years overdue can untie a knot of the same age. Health & breath — 子水 runs cool; this year favours warming it: fewer cold drinks, earlier nights, warm feet. Avoid grinding away at thoughts after dark — an evening walk beats a midnight loop. Reflection & practice — Name this your year of tidying. Tidy your shelves, your contacts list, the receipts you haven't touched in three years. Clear the field, and when 戊申's metal energy arrives next year, you'll have room to receive what it brings.
