Yin Metal represents Sadness & depression (negative side) Moralistic & virtuous (positive side), small metal implement (blade, knife, etc) still destructive, but not big Metal like 2010.

The Yin Wood represents Anger & frustration, the back, spine, fingers, liver, therefore the Metal strikes the back-could be backstabbing, hurting behind, attacking from behind.

The year is the same as  1951 - Korean War then. Will history repeat itself, as i said last year we are smarter and more educated about  the futility of wars.

The Metal & Wood together are conflicting, fighting or clashing with small implements over $$.

Metal is what the Earth puts out, making property, mining, insurance, catering, personnel, textiles & agriculture just as profitable, but sitting on $$, depends on whether favorable or unfavorable to hold onto it or slip out of your hands.

Yin Metal is also a Hidden Romance Flower. Yin Metal clashes with Yin Wood, take care especially March.

Metal is the skin, lungs & Buttocks area-illness associated with these organs & body parts and discoveries relating to these are included.  

The Wood Rabbit is on the bottom therefore hidden, $$ is controlled by Metal-Power- Similar to 1999.

The personality of the Rabbit is diplomacy, making sure to win or to draw, the rabbit is simply too good to lose. Very hard for commitment this year without arm twisting or trade offs, self assured, collected & sophisticated, easy to get along with, dont ask too much. Out of all the twelve animals the Rabbit has the best coping skills & cunning, his philosophy is take the middle of the road & get along with everyone, having few enemies, but none that will identify themselves, scardy cats. The Wood Rabbit is more materialistic than the most of the animals but cannot see it, wanting to be recognised for what they have done.

The Rabbit is also a Romance flower who can end a relationship once the novelty wears off. Clashing with a Rooster (all year especially September) if born in this year or have a Rooster in your chart be careful near metal elements-cars, machines, etc. There is also a Penalty with a Rat (all year especially December), this is on a deeper level, disharmony whether its family, illness, challenges-not knowing you had this or that, also relates to feet and limbs-issues should be taken care of before the year comes along. Meeting someone in a clash or penalty means they are not the Knight in shining armor/damsel in distress. To keep this Rabbit at bay wear a Dog-calligraphy or character.

If you are born in a Tiger, Horse, Dog Year then there is a "Flower of Romance" you are invited more & party more-more sociable, a relationship can come in, whether favorable or unfavorable depends on your chart.

If you are born in a Snake, Rooster or Ox year you could be "Travelling"-moving job, house, state, etc, this year, this is bought on by the outcome of a Pig & this in turn is activated by being buds with the Rabbit.

The Dog harmonises with the Rabbit, the Rabbit, the Pig and the Goat will combine to make more Wood, again depending on the rest of the chart, whether Wood is favorable or unfavorable.

The Wood Rabbit Wood also feeds the Fire, therefore more Fires, in this case will weaken the lungs, this means it can affect the atmosphere.

Those born in Water Years or on Water Days-Yin or Yang will have a "Nobleman" to help you through the year, they are sent from Heaven, rescue you or assist you, again depends on whether favorable (there all the year) or unfavorable (you must hit rock bottom before they save you).
