The year of the Rat is the first animal sign of the chinese zodiac, a hopeful restart button so to speak in all our life, its like a refresh of everything we have done for the past years, and as humans, we are always hopeful, having that positive anticipation of greater things to come our way, better life, better year, a good family and health, a better financial condition and fewer debts etc.  

Its that part of ourselves that recreate a hopeful new beginnings and make wishes and prayers.  No matter where we are in the world or what faith we believe in, it is always a good start to be set a positive tone and create a good vibes of energy to re-envigorate us to anticipate better things for the coming days, months and year.  Letting go of our past year's shortcomings and pitfalls.

May the new year of the rat bring happiness and joy for everyone and let us forgive ourselves for our shortcomings and aim to grow better and better in the days ahead.
