We have a bunny hutch this year; gravity should not be weighing you down as much as last year. However, the first few months might still have some over-lapin influence from 2025. Yet, as the days warm up, you can expect to feel like zooming around. A little care and preparation will help keep the nasties at bay, and Thumper will be a cacophony of energy this year. Get yourself a comfortable armchair and enjoy the tailwind.

  Health

This year, the Salty Pond Star is dangling carrots and lettuce and leading you up the garden path - it sounds like a nice trip, but eventually you will find yourself in a den of iniquity and debauchery and must think about burrowing out. It will not be critical but employing your zig-zag run and returning to a traditional diet will help you avoid becoming the cosmic plaything.

  Wealth

Will the wealth of Croesus be at your warren door? The Heavenly Virtue Star is in the neighbourhood and inviting all your family and friends over to boost your stocks. They’ll be slapping the money down, but should you take it? The stars say there is 24-carat gold to be made, but they also suggest that you find an advisor who can ensure your ears are relaxed and pointing in the right direction.

  Love

A small twitch of the nose, an insatiable desire for the full binky, the year of fire is heating up. Love is in the air. We are not pouring cold water on this but bucking the trend; perhaps finding yourself at a timeshare destination by the seaside might have you sleeking down your fur. Butt twitches indicate a happy rabbit. Hop across the meadows and forests, even past the deserts and tundra - fate is waiting for you.

  Career

Hope springs eternal in the restless mind of the professional rabbit. This year, the stars may answer in the affirmative, and they have got you marked down for bounding up on this front. Take a seat on the chairlift to the upper echelon. You will not be alone in your work hutch; helping hands may be visible or not, but the position, the doe, or both could be yours.

Guiding hexagram from the Yi-Jing (Book of Changes)

Judgement:
Revolution. On your own day you are believed. Supreme success, furthering through perseverance. Remorse disappears.
Image:
Fire in the lake: the image of Revolution. Thus, the superior man sets the calendar in order and makes the seasons clear.
The Forest of Changes:
In solitude I live alone, nothing can I rely on for assistance, my spirit laboured and my ambition exhausted.
Verdict:
Time torn off unused? It is certainly a possibility. Postmen like doctors going from house to house? Invariably they will. Between the two lie the calendar and the seasons. The advice is clear, there is free will and remorse is yours to banish.
