Farmyard Predictions
Not being a firm believer in horoscopes, I thought it would be fun to see where the Cock has gotten me so far. On February 7th I posted the prediction for the year of the Rooster, and so I thought it would be fun to see how I'm doing.
Road Ahead of RoostersThis Chinese New Year could be the first day of the rest of your life. In Rooster years, people born in this sign must plan the next dozen years with utmost foresight.
(Well, not the next dozen years, but I know what I'll be doing for the next 3 years at least.) You have been longing to change your life, waiting for the chance to unload responsibility and finally feel free to be the person you know you really are.
(I have been longing to change my life for a year, but only for a year, does that count as longing? But I have been longing to go grad school, and that has been for more than a year, so I'll let that count instead.) Get started now. Change of residence is likely.
(Yep, will be moving soon, closer to campus.) You will dissolve a partnership to break new ground on your own.
(Yep, I wasn't pretty enough to answer phones and so I was laid off from my previous employer.) Watch your pennies. You'll be needing them when you move to Paris or New York or even back to Squedunk where you came from. Hook up with a wise Snake or marry yourself to a stolid Ox. You'll be needing some ballast for the long haul.
Most of my friends are either cocks or goats, and my husband is a goat, so let's see how the Chinese horoscope has fared for goats:
Dreamy GoatsThe Rooster year is challenging for dreamy, whimsical Goats.
(My husband isn't dreamy or whimsical.) Harsh directives, rigid dictates and tight schedules are your worst enemies. Don't even try to tow the line.
(Haha. He's getting promoted at his job, but he did by towing the line. I guess that's what he gets for being the opposite of a whimsical goat.) It's useless to fight your own sweet nature.
(He sure is sweet, though.) Stay out of the line of fire. Use this year to build better castles in the air. But don't neglect your love life. There is a mellow Pig or cozy Rabbit lurking out there who longs to support you in style while you concoct even the zaniest of schemes.
So far, no zany schemes for my husband. Although, I admit commuting to Ventura was sort of a zany idea. But apparently there has been a shift in where he'll be moved and instead of Ventura, he'll be working much closer to home, or rather where home will be come August. But other than that, the whole goat oracle hasn't been so accurate. Now my cock, though, (ah, I do so love to say 'my cock') that seems to be strangely true so far. We'll see how it goes. Another Chinese horoscope update will come in August.

I too am a Rooster, or Cock if you will. Let's see how the year is shaping up for me...
Road Ahead of Roosters
This Chinese New Year could be the first day of the rest of your life. In Rooster years, people born in this sign must plan the next dozen years with utmost foresight. (I graduate this year, and will be moving on to the full time working force. I know generally where I want to be in 12 years, although where that is is the question on my mind.) You have been longing to change your life, waiting for the chance to unload responsibility and finally feel free to be the person you know you really are. (I made the decision to stay in Houghton for the summer. I've wanted to spend a summer up here since I became a TKE close to four years ago. I'm barely working, not going to school, plenty of time to feel free to be the person I know I am.) Get started now. Change of residence is likely. (Moving away from college at the end of the year.) You will dissolve a partnership to break new ground on your own. (I stayed up here for the summer. My only tie to Detroit, in the possibility of a new relationship with someone, was left behind in order to feel totally free of responsibility for the last time in my life. A whole summer with nothing to do. Eventually the working class will devour my soul.) Watch your pennies. You'll be needing them when you move to Paris or New York or even back to Squedunk where you came from. (I hope I don't move to Paris, I hate the French. New York could be fun, but I'd rather live closer to my friends. Squedunk just doesn't seem like a good substitute for Davison. Which I probably would accept if given the oppertunity.) Hook up with a wise Snake or marry yourself to a stolid Ox. You'll be needing some ballast for the long haul. (While I did essentially deny a relationship in Detroit. I have met someone up here who's totally a kick ass drinking partner. She's cute, loves my jokes, but she has a boyfriend. With every female I seem to get attracted to, there's always a catch. I guess I'm forever doomed to be un-lucky in love. Whether either of them are an Ox or a Snake, I don't know. I've ne ver really been into zodiacs.)
