The Year Ahead
Mao and Wei form half of a three-part Wood frame, and the missing part is Hai, which means the year's closeness is a standing invitation. The family that gathers, the friend who visits and the helper who stays all arrive on a rhythm you set rather than a demand you make. Yi feeding Ding gives the year its warmth: your gift for small ceremony, a poured tea, a written note, a well-told story, turns the house into a place people want to be.
The first half suits letters, visits and gentle projects. Midsummer runs warm, so keep the rooms aired and the company short. From the ninth month the year quiets and your own routine returns, and the moment is yours to name.
Career
At 112 the roles left are the expressive ones: the letter writer, the keeper of the recipes and songs, the person whose gentle manners set the tone of a gathering. Keep the ones that give you pleasure and let a younger pair of hands carry the physical part of each. Write one letter a month to someone who would treasure it, and note the family stories on paper as they surface.
If you keep a craft, a garden or a committee seat, give it fixed hours and an understudy. Do not let politeness trap you into agreeing to everything, because a Rabbit's quiet yes is still a yes. Choose the expression that is yours, and let the rest be someone else's.
Money
A sociable year spends in small, pleasant ways, so give the spending a shape. Set the year's gift and hosting figure apart from the money that pays for care, food and transport, and keep the cushion untouched. Finish the folder that holds the pensions, accounts, insurance and property papers, and leave one trusted person its index.
Let every larger gift or request wait a day before it is decided, and do not lend or guarantee for anyone. The Rabbit's instinct is to smooth things over with generosity, and the year rewards generosity with edges. Lunar months two and three run expensive, the eighth and ninth suit collecting and renewing, and the tenth settles the picture.
Love
At 112 love is expressed in attention, and attention is your native craft. Keep the visits short and frequent, and let the family know the hours that suit you. Write the notes and make the calls while the wish is fresh, because a letter that arrives in time outlives one that arrives late.
With a partner or a companion, keep the rituals exact: the same tea, the same walk, the same programme. With grandchildren, let their questions lead rather than quizzing their recall. If a small irritation with a helper appears, say it gently the first time, and the household will stay as soft as you keep it.
Health
In the traditional picture Yi Wood relates to the liver, the eyes and the tendons, and Mao Wood to the same supple nature. A Wood-feeds-Fire year runs warm when the days fill, so the practical prescription is rhythm: regular sleep, cooked food, water within reach and rest for the eyes away from screens. Keep the garden work and the letters in short sessions, and stretch the fingers and shoulders afterwards.
Mornings suit a Rabbit better than late evenings. Keep routine checks in spring and autumn as your clinician advises, and never change medication on your own. When the calendar crowds, remove one commitment before adding one remedy.
Lucky Elements
Colors: fresh green for your own Wood, deep blue for water and warm earth yellow. Green strengthens the branch, blue feeds it and yellow gives the fire's warmth somewhere to settle when the day ends. Skip head-to-toe red.
Direction: east for wood, north for water and southwest for earth. Morning light, a writing desk facing east and a green plant near the window suit a year of expression. Numbers: 3 and 8 for wood, 1 and 6 for water, 5 and 10 for earth.
Key lunar months: the 2nd and 3rd for visits, letters and family; the 5th and 6th for quiet living and light spending; the 9th and 10th for collecting, renewing and settling.
Do & Avoid
Do: write the letter while the wish is fresh; keep the visiting hours short and regular; give the money a giving ceiling and the papers an index; keep the craft sessions short and the sleep fixed. Avoid: the quiet yes that adds another duty; lending money or guaranteeing a loan; letting a small annoyance go unsaid until it grows; and spending the rest hours on other people's schedules.
The Rabbit's luck grows in space and good timing. Keep both, and the year gathers warmly around you.

This page reads your birth year alone: a Yi-Mao Wood Rabbit should invite, express and keep the hours gentle this year. The full report uses your month, day and hour pillars, plus your birthplace and the historical timezone of your birth date, to correct the solar terms, including the Li Chun boundary, and calculate your personal five-element balance. It maps 2027 month by month, showing the social months, the expensive months and the best windows for rest and family, with your strongest directions and balancing colours.
