prophecy
anda percaya ramalan? :D
sebagai muslim, saya dan mungkin beberapa dari anda tidak dianjurkan untuk mempercayai ramalan. betul tidak?
ya, gw sih ga segitunya percaya sama ramalan. biasanya kalo ada rubrik ramalan di majalah atau tabloid pun langusng gw lewatin. kalo udah ga ada lagi yang bisa dibaca, baru dah baca2 ramalan. itupun semuanya gw baca, ga cuma ramalan zodiak gw aja.. toh buat gw ramalan2 yg dipajang itu ga lebih dari sekedar warning & good advice yg bisa diterapkan pada setiap orang terlepas dari zodiak dia apaan. iya to? kalo emang ada sebuah ramalan yang kemudian tampak seperti 'menjadi nyata' sepertinya lebih karena telah terjadi self-fulfilling prophecy..
anyways, gw punya satu set ramal meramal versi astrologi cina. eit, gw ga beliiii.. >.< tauk ni, dulu ada orang iseng nan aneh yg ngasi ke gw bersama dengan lilin2 kecil. gw disuruh jadi peramal kali ya? ck ck ck.. isinya banyak karton bergambar 12 shio dan 4 elemen yg mungkin posisinya dimaksudkan untuk menggantikan kartu tarot,trus ada book of interpretations *damn, jadi inget grafis*, sama chart sebagai panduan untuk menyusun satu ramalan buat seseorang. sampe skrg gw belom bisa baca ramalan yg gw buat. hahaha.. padahal punya ini set udah lebih dari setaon, sejak awal2 tinggal di rumah ini. lha wis piye, bingung! ada yg harus diitung2.. bikin pusying!
what's your shio? mine is Rat..
the choice of the rat to represent the first sign of the chinese zodiac had nothing to do with any aspect of personality of character. it was because the first sign was believed to indicate the midnight hours, this being the time when this nocturnal creatures are most active. indeed, the old chinese sign for the first of the twelve divisions of the day represented a baby, indicating the birth of a new day, or even the start of a new year. thus, in the chinese horoscope a rat sign often means new opportunities.
personality
people born in the year of rat tend to be thinkers - creative, adn enthusiastic about anything new. they are great starters, but less able finishers (wahhahahahahah.. the firestarter!). they succeed best when they have assistance from someone at their side to encourage them when plans dont seem to work out as well as expected. they tend to be more alert in the late evening rather than earlier in the day, and prefer occupations which can accomodate their preferences for unsociable hours (tau apa yg ada di pikiran gw skrg? ibu rumah tangga yg sibuk dengan bayinya yg terus terbangun di tengah malam! #-o).
their personal relationships are complex, friends and acquaintances may find the rat personality a little mysterious and dark, for they always have 'something of the night' about them (is it?). they are good at handling other people's money, but not, alas, their own. for the rat can be both spendthrift and miserly, alternately hoarding and splashing out, ignoring the option to keep a steady balance in their accounts.
how people born in the year of the rat relate to people born in 'this different animal' years
they may not perceive themselves to be the ideal couple, but, when they look round at the problems faced by friends in their relationships, the rat and 'this different animal' realize that they have A LOT to be thankful for. family commitments and other shared interests ensured that this relationship is a steady one (well, lets make it come true hun.. ^^)
how 'this other animal' sign influence the rat
adds many positive qualities to the rat's character, indicating an active, popular social life (uh? have u made me popular, hun?! ^^;). such people are likely to be keen on home improvement.

how people born in the year of 'this animal' relate to people born in the year of the..
rat. there is bound to be friction between two characters with distinctly different ways of doing things (yea, tell me about it :D). while 'this animal' prefers to stay with the tried and trusted, the rat wants to try new untested methods. but they are unlikely to let such problems stand in the way of their relationship (ahemm.. )
how rat influence 'this animal'
a creative mind may be kept in check by a desire to be seen as conventional *garuk2 dagu*. a yearning to travel may be unfulfilled because of commitments. (NAH LOOO.. !!hihihi)
ps: 'this animal' tidak berlaku untuk ke-11 hewan yg lainnya. tjuma 1! :D
