Completing the lunar cycle
February 18, 2007 | 12:00am
Strike up the band; bring out the lechon, crispy pata, chicharon and the pata tim too. It’s time to celebrate! The Year of the Pig begins today and according to the Chinese it’s going to be a good year.
After the difficult Year of the Dog, when we experienced moderate progress and more than a fair share of natural and political turbulence, this year will be marked by prosperity and abundance. The Year of the Pig which will end on February 6, 2008, completes the 12-year lunar cycle in the Chinese calendar. Being the closing year, numerous opportunities will abound and unfinished business will come to fruition.
In general, progress will be the key word all over the world this year. The Philippines will have its share of economic success. The peso will further strengthen, the stock market will see new heights, and many industries will reap the bounty they have been longing for for years.
Politically, the country will experience some progress as well. Despite a relatively turbulent mid-term election, the rest of the year will see things settling down as political leaders buckle down to work. The Administration will achieve success in many of the projects it will launch towards the second half of the year.
In business, there will be many growth industries this year. Leisure and entertainment will experience the biggest improvement as people go into a party mood for most part of the year. Construction and real estate will also see some progress this year. Real property investments made in the previous years will bear sizable returns.
Other favorable industries include tourism, banking and finance, manufacturing and labor-oriented enterprises. The Year of the Pig will also be a good year for new entrepreneurs and establishing or investing in small-and medium-scale companies will prove to be favorable.
However, because Fire is the element this year, people will have the tendency to be passionate about issues and beliefs. The upcoming elections will see many tempers flare up, causing some degree of violence and protests. Cause oriented groups will confront the Government about important issues and will organize major protest rallies. In some parts of the world, political upheavals will shake governments, causing changes in leadership.
The environment will also be a major issue this year with some of the world’s economic powers as targets of international uproar and protests. As a result, a major breakthrough in policy for environmental protection will be adopted. Despite this positive step, we will continue to experience devastating climate changes. Catastrophic typhoons and hurricanes will devastate some parts of the world, even in areas rarely touched by these natural disasters. There will be a major volcanic eruption causing numerous injuries and damage to properties. A major earthquake will also happen in an Asia Pacific country.
On the personal front, the Year of the Pig will see a freer and more relaxed atmosphere. As such, people will have a tendency to overindulge in things and activities. It will be a time to enjoy life to the hilt. Social events will become frequent and prominent again. However, being a year of abundance, people, particularly weight-watchers, should be careful about their health as temptations will be a-plenty.
In general, this is a good year to start a family and to organize family gatherings that will bring members closer to one another. Many lingering family misunderstandings or conflicts will see resolution this year as well. It is also a good time to make new friends.
The Year of the Fire Pig will also find many people motivated by patriotism and we will see a resurgence of many civic groups being involved in charitable work for the underprivileged sectors of society. Many well-to-do individuals will find time to do philanthropic activities for the environment, arts and culture, and human rights.
