My forecast for the Fire Monkey year was getting pretty long so I am trying something new, namely giving my readers dessert first by releasing the Chinese Year Animal Sign Horoscopes before the annual forecast and Annual Feng Shui information which are the meat and potatoes so to speak of my annual forecast. If you would like an in-depth forecast for the year then a personal destiny reading is a great way to see what else is in store for you this year. Enjoy!
Birth Year Animal Signs:
*Please note, if your birthday is between January 1 and February 4 your animal sign is the same as that of the preceding year. Also, your animal sign is only 1/8 of your birth chart so year animal effects can vary depending on the other animals and elements in your chart.
Monkey: 1920, 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004
Monkey year people will feel in their element this year and may find that the monkey energy ignites their innate love of travel and adventure. They should be cautious however as this year may prove to be too much monkey business for comfort. There are several negative stars affecting the monkey this year so be prudent with spending as you will be tempted to overspend and be careful with your health by making time for relaxation and regular exercise. For single monkeys your romance luck is not strong this year but there could still be opportunities depending on the other elements in your chart. Overall, clever monkeys should keep a positive mindset and a sense of humor both will serve them well through the ups and downs of this year.
Rooster: 1921, 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005
Rooster year people, and even people with rooster elsewhere in their charts, have likely found the Goat year to be a challenge but your luck is about to change for the better. Like the monkey, the rooster is a metal element animal and as such will be in sync with the energy of the year which will present opportunities for career advancement and the development of your skills and talents. You will also have the presence of helpful people to assist you this year but be sure that you pay it forward by offering your assistance as a mentor and support to others as well. There is also the possibility for a steamy short term romance which is great for singles but if you are coupled make sure these opportunities don’t interfere with your relationship, instead channel this lusty energy into reviving the spark with your loved one.
Dog: 1922, 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006
Those born in the year of the Dog will need to cultivate patience and fortitude this year as there will be challenges for you particularly with regard to your wealth and your health. These challenges may cause stress and anxiety so be sure to make time for relaxation and self-care, a regular exercise regimen will be of greatest benefit. On a positive note your career outlook is good if you continue to stay focused, work hard, and stay out of office politics.
Pig: 1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007
Whatever plans you have made for this year you will have the assistance of helpful people to see them through. If those plans relate to earning money so much the better as you also have wealth stars present to support you this year, just be careful when making investments. However, the best investment you can make this year will be your health and emotional balance as your health luck is not as strong. The greatest difficulties for you this year will be emotional in nature as you are likely to feel lonely and may have difficulties in your interactions with others, so guard your tongue but don’t stay home sulking as your chance for romance is excellent his year!
Rat: 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008
The rat is part of a harmony trio with the monkey and this year will be quite favorable for you. You could see recognition for your work as well as promotions and new responsibilities. Your rising status at work is also likely to enhance your earnings this year as your also have lucky wealth stars supporting you. Your increased visibility at work could garner some negative attention and jealousy but if you rely on the trusted noblemen available to you, you will be able to overcome these nuisances and shine. Romance is also strong for rat people this year, those who are single have a great opportunity to make a lasting match if you put yourself out there, and for those in relationships it is a great year to get married.
Ox: 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009
Those born in the ox year AND those with ox elsewhere in their charts will be glad to see the Goat year and its clash to them come to an end. A welcome change from last year this year will be ripe with opportunities and happy events for you. Ox will have many helpful people available as well as opportunities to make new contacts and forge new relationships. Not all the people surrounding you will have your best interests at heart and you could encounter petty disputes so keep your true friends close and your enemies closer. Overall there will be support for wealth creation this year as well and even a job related change of residence. Single Oxen could find true love this year and married Ox may conceive!
Tiger: 1914, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010
The monkey is the animal that clashes with the tiger which normally makes for a difficult time. As the year pillar represents one’s wider social network or work environment the clash will likely affect this area of Tiger year people’s lives. Those with Tiger in other pillars could be negatively affected in other ways. Tiger folks should take heart though as there are many positive stars to support you, especially the Sky Relief star which dissolves problems so all in all this could turn out to be a pretty good year despite the clash. Tigers should however take extra care of their health this year and guard against injury, this is not a year to take up a dangerous new hobby like sky diving. Like Monkeys, Tigers are one of the travel star animals and this could be a year where travel brings new opportunities for work and profits, just don’t spend too much time away from your family. While the year will have some challenges the good news is that there will be plenty of helpful people available to you to get you through whatever comes your way.
Rabbit: 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011
The Rabbit is a wood element animal and those with wood in their chart will see many opportunities as you have what people want and need and your actions will convince others that you are the right person for the job! The Rabbit also has an abundance of lucky stars this year most notably the Emperor Star which will bring with it status and power and the ability to say what you want and get it! With this upgrade in status also comes extra luck for wealth so this is a year where your hard work will bear fruit! While luck and fortune will be on your side you should should be careful to avoid accidents and be aware that unforeseen setbacks and delays could pop up this year but you will have plenty of supportive people to turn to when you are in need. Since you are feeling particularly lucky this year you may want to consider making some investments as you could see good returns.
Dragon: 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000
Dragons are also part of the harmony trio with the monkey and should expect a good year overall. The monkey year will be a year of creativity, imagination and productivity with great potential to manifest success. Dragons will have extra luck for academic achievement so for those not already in school this is a great year to learn a new skill or undertake additional training which will open up greater opportunities for you. You should take extra precaution to guard against physical injury and make your health a priority. Love is certainly in the air for dragons, those already in relationships will have a harmonious year and those who are single could meet someone very special!
Snake: 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013
The Snake and the Monkey are a heavenly combination like peanut butter and chocolate or peanut butter and jelly depending on your tastes. Not only does the monkey support you Snakes but lucky stars do as well, in fact the Snake may be the luckiest of all the zodiac animals this year! Snakes will see prosperity and get a taste of the “good life” this year and should any obstacles arise the Fortune Virtue Star will be like the Hindu God Ganesha removing your obstacles and smoothing your path. While you may encounter some meddlesome people along the way, your interpersonal relationships will largely be full of supportive people and lucky in love.
Horse: 1918, 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002
Horses like the Monkey are animals of travel who may find their wanderlust spurred on this year! Traveling could bring terrific opportunities for you but be cautious while on the road as you are more prone to accidents and injury this year. Once you are on your way you will find that this year brings favorable outcomes for both academic and career success. Whether you wander or stay closer to home you will find many helpful people there to support you on your path. Romance luck for single horses is not stellar however so this is a good year to work hard and focus on your personal goals. With all of your positive momentum you may be inclined to work too hard but this could have a negative effect on your less than favorable health luck this year so stay on top of your health and make time for rest and relaxation.
Goat: 1919, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1991, 2003
Goat people should repeat the mantra “don’t worry, be happy” this year. While the goat may be prone to worry this year it is important to focus on and be grateful for the people in your life. You may encounter obstacles with your career that make you feel you need to work much harder but you will have a supportive network of allies and mentors there to help you. The Red Matchmaker Star will ensure extra good fortune in your romantic pursuits, marriage could bless committed couples and single goats could find loving relationships this year. Your loved ones are your lucky charm this year so be sure to tell them how much they mean to you.
