СКАЧАТЬ that appeal to him. In addition he will appreciate meeting up with his friends and sharing news as well as support. For Water Oxen who are feeling lonely and/or have had a recent personal upset, pursuing their interests can often lead to meeting someone new and potentially significant. May, June and August to early October could see the most social activity.

      The Water Ox’s home life will be busy, and with commitments, changing work patterns and close relations facing keynote decisions, the pressures may be considerable. Being conscientious, the Water Ox will be keen to see everything goes well. His disciplined approach will help and he may well take pride in several family achievements over the year as well as offer valuable guidance (including to more senior relations). Shared family activities can be especially gratifying. July and September will be active months in many a Water Ox household, and for a few there could be prospects of a move. These can be busy and sometimes exciting times.

      The Year of the Rooster is one of great opportunity for the Water Ox. With his skills, resolve and experience, he can secure an important new role and use his strengths to advantage. Care is needed in financial matters, and with many demands on his time, he needs to focus on priorities and make sure his lifestyle stays in balance. Recreational pursuits and quality time with those who are special to him can help. Overall, an active and rewarding year.

      Tip for the Year

      Make more of your strengths, for that is where your greatest successes are likely to come from, especially work-wise. Seize any chances to widen your experience. Also, devote time to your loved ones and to enjoying the pleasures this fulfilling year will bring.

      The Wood Ox

      In recent years the Wood Ox may have felt buffeted by events which were not always under his control. Certain hopes may have felt elusive and circumstances frustrating. However, in the Rooster year, a lot will move in his favour and his previous efforts and patience will be rewarded. Almost all areas of his life can enjoy positive developments.

      Over the year quite a few Wood Oxen will be giving some thought to their accommodation. The hopes of many of those wanting to get on the property ladder and/or move elsewhere will now be realized and those who remain where they are will also be likely to make noticeable improvements to their home.

      However, while a lot can be accomplished, where finance is concerned, the Wood Ox will need to be vigilant. The terms of financial agreements should be checked and professional advice obtained. Also, should the Wood Ox lend to another person or be tempted by a speculative venture, care is needed. This is not a year for risk or assumptions.

      The Rooster year can, though, bring some personal highlights. For Wood Oxen with a partner, shared undertakings can be especially meaningful. Those who are parents will often delight in encouraging their children to master new feats and there will be some wonderful moments to share.

      In view of the Wood Ox’s commitments, it is, though, important that he remains well organized and, if concerned by any matter, forthcoming. Some Wood Oxen have a tendency to keep their thoughts to themselves, but in this significant year good communication will be helpful in addressing issues and furthering plans. Wood Oxen who have a reputation for being ‘strong and silent’, do bear this in mind.

      For Wood Oxen who are alone and have perhaps had some personal turbulence in their life of late, the Rooster year can again offer positive change. Developments can be helped by the Wood Ox’s own desire to move on and not let unsatisfactory situations linger. Wood Oxen who desire new friends, romance or greater fulfilment in their life will find that interests they pursue (or start) over the year can have a good social element. Affairs of the heart are favourably aspected and Wood Oxen who have been heavily involved in their work at the expense of their personal life should aim to address this. Actions taken now can make a real difference. May, June and mid-July to early October could be socially active months.

      The Wood Ox’s personal interests can also develop in encouraging ways and those who have ambitions to make more of a certain skill or specialist knowledge should look to take this forward, including promoting what they do.

      All Wood Oxen should set aside time for recreation and ensure they take regular and appropriate exercise. With their often demanding lifestyle, they do need time to unwind and enjoy themselves.

      At work, many Wood Oxen will have added considerably to their experience in recent years, particularly with changes to their role. However, the Wood Ox is ambitious and knows he is capable of contributing far more. As a result, when openings arise in his present place of work or he sees a position offering growth elsewhere, he should put himself forward. Once he indicates his desire to progress, encouraging developments can often follow on. Some senior personnel may also assist. This is very much a year for the Wood Ox to build on his experience and move forward.

      For Wood Oxen keen to take their work in a different direction or seeking a position, again the Rooster year can open up fresh possibilities. By considering different ways in which they could use their skills, making enquiries and approaching employers and organizations, these Wood Oxen can gather useful information and be alerted to openings to pursue. Again, once the Wood Ox takes purposeful action, he will set in motion developments that can be potentially significant. April, June and late August to early November could see encouraging developments, but throughout the year the Wood Ox should seize his opportunities.

      Although his work prospects are favourably aspected, he could, however, be troubled by the attitude of a colleague or find himself in a fraught situation. At such times, he should aim to keep the matter in perspective and not let it distract him from his duties. Every year brings its challenges and it is by meeting and overcoming them that the Wood Ox can show his qualities and potential.

      Overall, the Rooster year can be a constructive one for the determined Wood Ox. In his personal life, plans (including for his accommodation) can often be successfully advanced and there will be special times to share with his friends and loved ones. For Wood Oxen who are alone, new friendships and possible romance can add sparkle to their life. Personal interests, too, can develop in an encouraging manner. The Rooster year also offers considerable scope for the Wood Ox’s work prospects and will enable him to build on his experience and further his career. The accent this year is on growth and the Wood Ox can enjoy some well-deserved success.

      Tip for the Year

      Keep your lifestyle in balance and allow time to enjoy the rewards you work so hard for. Also, value your loved ones and close friends. They can benefit you in so many ways.

      The Fire Ox

      This year marks the start of a new decade in the Fire Ox’s life, and as he enters his twenties, he will have hopes and plans he is keen to realize. And a lot will go in his favour, albeit in sometimes surprising ways.

      Although the Fire Ox may have firm ideas about what he would like to do, he should not regard these as set in stone. The Rooster year can bring surprises and there will be new possibilities to consider. To benefit, the Fire Ox needs to be open-minded and make the best of situations as they arise.

      His personal life will be especially busy. There will be fun times to be had with his friends and as a result of a change in circumstances (and sometimes location), there will be the opportunity to extend his social circle as well.

      For many Fire Oxen, affairs of the heart will add considerable excitement to the year, with a chance meeting proving significant. Some romances are really set to blossom this year, and if others flounder, new ones will await. A lot will happen for a СКАЧАТЬ
