Here's the situation, Rat: your branch Zi (子) sits directly across the wheel from the year's Wu (午), and that head-on opposition is Chong Tai Sui (冲太岁) — a full clash with the God of the Year. Tradition treats this as the big one: upheaval, forced moves, structures that crack whether you saw it coming or not. But a clash isn't a verdict, it's weather — and turbulence rewards the pilot who steers over the one who freezes. Reading a room and adapting on the fly is the most Rat thing about you, and it's exactly the temperament this year demands. Let what has to go, go; stay light enough to redirect the momentum instead of getting flattened by it.
