Hare today, gone tomorrow? No, much more likely it’ll be hare today, wherever you want tomorrow. Time-limited for a year. It’s an open field of ripening hay, lettuce and carrots lining the pathways to the future and yet some evil is afoot, as some anti-rabbit gods are sharpening their plows-hares. With minimal care they can be cur-tail-ed, so you can be as mad as a March hare for much of the year without forming bad habits, rabbit.

Unwanted lurgies lie dormant in the grasses, as you pass through the year you’ll not want them to cotton-on to your tail. Who wants to be the hare in someone else’s stew? How to avoid them, a sense of humour might help with making sure you remain, as ever, a little fit bunny. Either the buck stops with you, or you are the buck, whatever the case, don’t tempt fate by leaning too hard on the bal-coney.
A 1980s mogul was famous for observing that he saw no reason to spend so much of his own money when he always found other peoples’ lying around. Speaking of lying around, this is not the year to channel flopsy. If you want to be the money bunny, and are aiming for mega-bucks, you’ll need to borrow some help from your partner the rooster who can lend you the Triple Terrace Star at mate’s rates. If you buck-le down you’ll pay it back and then some.
Lettuce pray, or is it prey? In the game of love the question all rabbits must face this year is, well, just how many hares do you want in your bed? If you’re searching for your honey bunny this year, it looks like the grass might be a little greener in another warren, where they may see you as the great swash-buck-ler. Doe-s it bode well? Yes, abode is good, and also b-bode and c-bode, the year should build to a fine crescen-doe of love.
Fine as the weather looks out on the calm seas of professional advancement, there is still a chance your plans could be torpe-doe-d. The Heavenly Dog Star seems to have you in his cross-hares as he plots unplanned surprises. These are the unknown unknowns and you may find yourself springing out of a celebratory cake with Donald Rumsfeld. Is that how you want to spend the year? If you see a chance then grabit rabbit.
