Dragon people are the most eccentric in the Chinese Zodiac. Soaring high into the serene heavens, they can be stubborn, passionate, excitable, honest, and brave, wear purple and walk barefoot in public fountains. They listen to their own drummer, thank you very much, while the rest of the world stands in amazement. People always admire their individuality and feisty personality. Dragons are capable of doing great work for mankind and they inspire trust in almost everyone. The Dragon symbolizes life and growth and is said to bring the five blessings: harmony, virtue, riches, fulfillment and longevity.

2011 is Year of the Rabbit and it will arrive on February 3, 2011. Many people must be eager to know they have better luck in the coming year than in 2010. Here, we want to use Chinese Astrology Five Elements (Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth) theory to explain people’s fortune in 2011 and foresee what will be happening to them in the year of the Rabbit.

According to Chinese Five Element Astrology Calendar, 2011 is the Year of Metal Rabbit . The color of Metal in Five Elements system is related to White, Yellow or Golden. Therefore we can say 2011 is a White Rabbit, Yellow Rabbit, Metal Rabbit or Golden Rabbit year.

Chinese Astrology is a Balance Theory of Five Elements. Each animal can be converted into Five Elements. Rabbit contains only Wood. Therefore 2011 is a strong Wood year. Metal of 2011 is female and connects to jewelry. We can treat 2011 as a beautiful cute rabbit year. This implies a sign of romantic year for some people. However. Metal and Wood are opposite elements; they have fighting relationship. Rabbit eventually won’t feel comfortable wearing jewelry all the time.

The animal of Rabbit can reproduce its next generation very fast. Therefore the Rabbit is connected to love. Rabbit is the romantic star to the people who are born in the year of Horse , Tiger or Dog . They will have more chance to meet opposite sex friends and build closer relationship, especially with Rabbit people.

Rat can reproduce their children fast too. When Rat and Rabbit have love relationship, they sometimes hurt each other. Their relationship is mixing love

and hate. Therefore, if Rat people are in love during the year of Rabbit, they will feel sweet and bitter in the relationship.

Rabbit is a shy and friendly animal and doesn’t have too many enemies, except for Chicken . Therefore, for those people who born in the year of Chicken, their people relationship or social connection will be poor in the year of 2011.

Tiger, Rabbit and Dragon are the cycles of Wood. Tiger of 2010 is the beginning year of the Wood cycle. Rabbit of 2011 is the second year of Wood Cycle. 2011 is the peak time of Wood cycle. If people born in either Tiger, Rabbit or Dragon year and their Lucky Element is Wood, then 2011 will bring them good fortune.

2010 is the Year of White Metal Tiger. Tiger contains mainly Wood. Basically, most of people should have about the same luck as year of 2010. But Tiger is a Yang Wood and Rabbit is a Yin Wood. Also, Tiger contains Fire, but Rabbit is a pure Wood. When Tiger fights against Metal, Tiger can use the Fire to burn the Metal. Therefore, Tiger can find a way to win over Metal. When Rabbit fights against Metal, Rabbit must spare no effect to find a chance to win over Metal. Without friend’s help, Rabbit will fight to death.

Before predicting your luck in 2011, you have to know what Type of Element you are and what your Lucky Element is from your astrology birth chart. The Lucky Element is the major factor to determine people’s fortune. 2011 is the Year of White Metal Rabbit, which contains Metal and Wood. If your Lucky Element is Metal or Wood, then 2011 will bring you some degree of luck. However, According to Five Elements theory, Wood and Metal have Fighting Relationship. They are conflict elements. If your Lucky Element is Metal, then Wood will be unlucky elements. If your Lucky Element is Wood, then Metal should be an unlucky element. That means most people will gain some and lose some in 2011, unless Female Metal or Rabbit have some special relationships with the birth chart.
