An office-goer’s guide to the 2012 zodiac
Experts have used the sun sign and the zodiac to predict matters such as love and relationships, success and failure. But this piece will fill an important knowledge gap in an area oft neglected by soothsayers: a zodiac guide for office workers like you and me. After all we all absolutely need to know what will happen to our colleagues and us in the new year. What does the year have in store for you? We take a rather liberal and flexible view towards sun signs, so you don’t have to restrict yourself to your own conventional sign of the zodiac. Go ahead and choose any of these 12 predictions for 2012, based on your innermost desire.
Let us begin with some Confucian office philosophy. 2012 is the Chinese Year of the Dragon. A stark contrast to 2011, which was the Year of the Rabbit. As the saying goes, when fierce dragons enter conference rooms and cubicles, be prepared for terrible wars of worlds, but also be aware that dragons safeguard great treasures which can be yours. This is then definitely a year of great contrasts.
