Anticipating a better year in 2018 following a difficult 2017

Mala,
As a Water Rabbit, you had much trouble last year and this year. This year is also our opposite year, and nothing happens the way you would like. You shouldn't make any plans this year. Wait until the year of the Earth Dog (2018) starts. I wouldn't recommend for you to open your own business. You want to fulfill your dream, but dreams are just that: dreams. Unless I see your date of birth (and I could see you have some fire elements in your chart), I won't advise you to open any business. The element for next year is going to be Earth, and your yearly element is Water. Water and soil make mud, not a good environment for any business. Good luck to you.
