You may have been giving your all to someone in the hope that they will take care of you in the same unselfish way. If you are not getting this, it may be time to reassess, or have a talk. Having the courage to talk about your feelings is important.

There may be so much going on that you do not know where to start. Don't hesitate to ask for extra help. If you attempt to keep it all together alone, a trying situation can make you snap. Patience will help, but sharing your burdens is the wisest choice.

If you have been doing too much and are feeling stressed, the energy today can be emotionally difficult. If possible, get outside for exercise or simply to breathe in fresh air. Spending time close to nature can be both healing and inspiring. Give yourself time to float and dream.

Work toward specific goals. Problems in the family can be rooted in unrealistic expectations. Someone may hide the truth because they fear your reaction. Be willing to surrender some things you no longer use or need. Letting go of the past is ultimately for the best. Getting out for fun with other people will help you feel more balanced. There's also the potential for a very surprising or romantic encounter in a situation where you least expect it.

The month of the Monkey encourages a spirit of fun and good humor. Monkey energy helps you discover inventive ways to turn any challenge to your advantage. Under the August 13 Full Moon you will be especially confident. Network as much as possible and share any area of interest. People will be sympathetic and supportive. An important love interest can be both desirable and challenging. You may have to be more actively romantic than your cool nature prefers. Do research this month to develop a game plan to launch any new start around the August 28 New Moon.

Rats can enjoy an extra helping of good luck that arrives in the Year of the Metal Rabbit, February 3, 2011 to January 22, 2012. The influence of Rabbit helps ease stress by calming your tendency to worry or be hypercritical. Unexpected changes should not throw you off balance. The element Metal strengthens your determination to master difficult challenges. Feelings can run high this year as Metal magnifies people's reactions. Expect a year marked by passionate encounters and transforming events. Carefully considered choices will have long-term consequences. Your willingness to talk things out with trusted advisers supports wise decisions.

Metal Rabbit encourages you to dress your best this year. Your great personal charm will be magnetically attractive. Sentimental Rats may find it surprisingly difficult to forget an old love interest. Any tendency toward obsessive thinking, especially if you are possessive, can block the flow of romantic feelings. For many, April will bring a crisis as powerful forces encourage you to be ruthlessly honest. Saying what you think in a way that makes sparks fly can transform a close relationship.

Expect to be juggling a very busy social calendar with important family responsibilities. An easy sense of humor and genuine interest in others will make you a popular person in familiar places. The more you get out with friends, the more satisfying life will be. Under Metal Rabbit you may develop useful connections with highly skilled or artistically talented people. The New Moon/Solar Eclipse on November 25 is an especially lucky time for travel, family adventures, and expanding your social networks.

Hardworking Rats have a gift for sharing ideas and a way of expressing themselves that makes people sit up and listen. No matter what your current career prospects, Metal gives the courage and Rabbit the charm and diplomacy to make a good impression. Volunteering can often lead to something more. Do your best on the job and expect to see improvement as the year progresses. The September 27 New Moon is a powerful time to apply for a new job.

You are the best sign in a crisis this year. The economic downturn, while stressful, can be just the challenge a Rat needs to succeed. Rabbit's good luck when it comes to money will help you pay down debts and begin or grow a nest egg. The July 1 Lunar Eclipse can bring you to a crossroads that demands cautious and prudent planning. Resist any temptation toward impulsive generosity with your loved ones. Difficult situations will need a more original solution. (Editor：augury)
