In eastern astrology, New Year 2011 (specifically February 3, 2011) is the Year of the Golden Rabbit, which is the astrological sign (based on a rotating scheme of 12 astrological "animals") known for its peacefulness, industry, determination, mischievousness, and evasiveness.
Those born in the Year of the Dog will find luck this year, and there are buckets of it (if you work hard for them).
