Happy year of the rooster as well Samantha!
Well, I heard that this year could be a bit challenging and unpredictable at times because the rooster energy could be a bit aggressive.
Therefore if you accept me as a sitter I would like to know what this year of the rooster will bring me please (in general)?
Han Women at the end of Qing
This photo shows 4 seated Han ladies. They each have their hands clasped in front of them ..the photo is sepia/slighted tinted and a little out of focus in places. As a result I allow the ambiguity to suggest images to me, these can change (I don't always *see* the same thing in the same card ) Having concentrated on your question it seems to me that 3 of these women come bearing you *gifts* for the year ahead.
So ...first impressions and thoughts : The second women looks as though she is holding a tiny tiger in her hand ...I guess it could be a stripey cat, but really it's more tiger like. Do you currently know anyone who was born in the year of the Tiger ? I think this individual will figure largely in the year ahead ...I'm more inclined to say it's a guy, someone with quite a big ego but an equally big heart. Anyway, his presence in your life will be beneficial ....the fact that the Tiger is so small makes me feel that you are starting from scratch ...or if you already know him, the connection is superficial only.
The third woman appears to hold a burning bush ! (Yes...very biblical ! I'm not religious myself ...) So, I could see the year of the rooster as a time when you begin to see manifestations of whatever *faith* you believe in ...there won't be any ambiguity or second guessing with these - somewhat like a *baptism of fire* . (NB - I haven't gone to look at the exact account of The burning bush ...tho I remember it was Moses, so perhaps if you do something else may become apparent to you.)
I really don't know what to make of the fourth ladies gift. I have to state what I see (!) It really looks like a T bone steak. So ...2017 will be nourishing ....or alternately give you situations/projects that you can *really get your teeth into* . Maybe this lady feels you were mal nourished during 2016 and need to gain strength (physical or emotional I don't know) ?
I thought it was interesting that all those in the photos were women. This makes me think that your interactions with women may be the catalyst or instrumental in ...for example meeting that Tiger, or getting closer to that burning bush. The fact that the first woman arrives empty handed may be your dissapointment for 2017 - I think there is a woman in your life who will not *deliver* or be very generous with you - I can't ascertain her reasons but she's already (it seems) made that decision, so don't get too hung up about it ....the rest seems very positive. This was a fun read. I wish you well !
