The flowing metal energy will bring nourishment, alleviating the negative emotions and turbulence caused by this year’s clash with the tai sui deity.
This month will also be a good time to pursue further education or administrative work. Projects that were previously stalled due to obstacles are likely to be resolved smoothly with the help of benefactors, particularly female ones.
Romance is in the air for Rats, with opportunities for singles to meet a stable partner through an introduction from elders.
