Rat

It’s a great year for getting ahead. You can rely on your intuition as it will rarely let you down. Opportunities abound for you to experiment and try new things. You are more likely to take risks to bring more excitement into your life. Your social life will be active and romance is fun. The very end of the year will be a happy time for you.

Ox

You would like to feel more confident but because there is uncertainty in the air, it’s a year when you aren’t always sure exactly where you stand. Negative thinking will only hold you back. Whatever challenges lie ahead you must imagine yourself succeeding. Don’t tire of the waiting if it seems progress is slow. It will be sure. Take your time and you will get there in the end.

Tiger

Impulsiveness leads to carelessness, remember this in the Year of the Rat. Anything you tackle at this time should be approached with care. Don’t take your health and high levels of energy for granted. Be willing, at times, to take life at a slower pace. Business matters can be frustrating. This is not such a good year to change jobs. Be especially careful with finances.

Rabbit

The very start of the year is a good time to make long term plans. The more organised you are, the more likely you are to see positive results. You will not be disappointed with your progress this year. Not everything will happen the way you want it to, but most things will turn out in your favour. You will do well to mix with people who share similar goals and aspirations. A female relative will be lucky for you.

Dragon

You have a great sense of timing this year and often you will find yourself in the right place at the right time. Any problems that do arise will be easily resolved. With everything going so well for you, don’t ignore the needs of your loved ones and family. Romance is a strong feature of your life this year and although you will take your responsibilities seriously, you’re determined to enjoy life too.

Snake

As long as you get the balance right, you should be delighted with the progress you make this year. Think about making a start on new professional ventures. You will be having a great time and you are really enjoying yourself. A lot is likely to happen for you this year. Inspiration will come flooding into your mind and there is no reason why you can’t forge ahead in all areas of your life.

Horse

You have to be sensible in your approach to everyday matters this year. It’s no use closing your eyes and pretending things aren’t there, because they are. And you must face up to certain responsibilities. At times it might feel as if life is at a standstill. Have patience. Don’t try to rush people and projects. Keep your expectations realistic and this will make life a lot easier for you this year.

Sheep

Caution should be your motto and hard grind sums up the coming year in two, crisp words. A hard working year lies ahead but the good news is: at the end of it, your rewards will be well worth the efforts made and you will have laid firm foundations for the future. You may come across a few problems and restrictions and these will need to be overcome before you can get ahead. Delays are sometimes likely.

Monkey

You could be starting a new project that is something completely different from anything you have ever done before. This will be a year of creativity and excitement. Artistic and creative abilities should be pursued. You might benefit from the good fortune of your partner and you’re likely to get involved with a new circle of friends. Any changes that occur now will be for the best.

Rooster

On the whole this could be something of a challenging year. Your plans to get ahead could be hampered by a series of distractions. There is the chance of a secret romance. You might encounter jealousy within your career or within your close relationships. Keep an extra vigilant eye on your spending this year as there are warnings concerning the effects of extravagance.

Dog

This will be a special year for you. A lucky one too! You are likely to see the fulfilment of a special ambition. It will be an especially creative time with your sex appeal at maximum level. Rewards for efforts made in the past will become more apparent over the months ahead and if you’re single, a new and intriguing partner is likely to make an appearance.

Pig

New financial avenues are worth exploring. Promotion is a strong possibility this year. Community and neighbourhood affairs will take up a lot of your time and there may be a degree of tension in the home. A colleague could prove to be unexpectedly helpful with a private project you launch this year. In many areas this is likely to be a profitable time for you.
