      Horoscopes for Each of the Chinese Years

      Rat Fortunes in the Year of the Rat

      This not only marks the start of a new cycle of animal years, but is a special one for Rats. Who better to understand the ways and workings of the year than Rats themselves?

      This is very much a year for making and carrying out plans. ‘There is no time like the present’, as the saying reminds us, and for Rats who have been nurturing certain hopes or plans, now is the time. Their energy and resourcefulness will help them to do well.

      At work, the Rat year can bring some excellent possibilities, but Rats need to actively follow up openings. Many will find that positions of greater responsibility will become available in their present place of work and the depth of their knowledge will make them strong candidates. As a result, many can make important progress this year and take their career to new levels.

      If currently dissatisfied or seeking a position, they will find this is a good year to explore possibilities and consider other ways in which they use their strengths. Rats are resourceful and in their own year their wide-ranging abilities can lead to some worthy results.

      Rat years also encourage personal development, and whether in their work or their own interests, Rats themselves should look to further their knowledge. This is an excellent year for starting projects, setting challenges and developing skills. However, while the aspects are encouraging, Rats do need to be disciplined. Although they may start activities with enthusiasm, sometimes this can wane as fresh temptations come along. Rats, take note and keep in mind the benefits that concerted effort can bring. And what you undertake in your own year can often leave a far-reaching legacy.

      The successes of the year can also help financially and the income of many Rats is set to increase. There can be an element of good fortune, too, with some Rats benefiting from the receipt of additional funds or from making some shrewd and timely purchases. Rats have an eye for a good deal. However, while a favourable year financially, it could be useful for Rats to give some thought to the longer term, including perhaps setting funds aside for future requirements or adding to a savings or pension policy. With good management, the situation of many can improve this year.

      Rats are by nature sociable and will again enjoy positive relations with many of those around them this year. In their home life they will be keen to carry out domestic improvements as well as be active in supporting and advising loved ones. Their ability to keep tabs on a great many things at once will often amaze others, but such are the talents of Rats! Also, for any Rats who have thoughts of moving, this is a year to explore possibilities. Once ideas are acted upon, developments can quickly assist the process and serendipity can prove a useful friend over the year. With good support and family members all playing their part, many plans and projects can be successfully advanced over the course of the Rat year.

      On a social level, Rats will also value their close friendships as well as their various chances to go out. They will often be on sparkling form and can look forward to extending their social network.

      For the unattached and those who have experienced recent personal disappointment, their own year can mark the start of a new and sometimes life-changing romance. For some, the sound of wedding bells may be heard. These can be personally special times for Rats and the year is rich in possibility.

      With resolve, energy and enterprise, Rats can accomplish a great deal in their own year and their achievements can be of long-term consequence.

      Tips for the Year

      Seize the initiative and set plans in motion. This is a year for action. However, do remain disciplined and use your time well. Giving up, giving less than your best or getting distracted could all undermine your efforts. Also, preserve time for your interests and to enjoy with others. Your personal relations can make this year even more special.

      Rat Fortunes in the Year of the Ox

      Rats are by nature hard-working and are set to do well in the Ox year. The gains made in the previous year can now be built on and continued headway made.

      In work, many Rats will find their area of responsibility increasing and employers keen to use and develop their strengths. These can be encouraging times, with many Rats advancing their career. However, while good progress can be made, pressures will increase and some Rats will be daunted by the demands being placed on them. At such times, it will be a case of knuckling down, focusing on what needs to be done and learning about the different aspects of any new role. The Ox, who governs the year, can be a hard taskmaster, but by rising to the challenge, many Rats will prove themselves in a new capacity.

      For Rats who are keen to move from where they are or are seeking work, the Ox year can open up interesting possibilities. By considering different ways in which they can use their strengths and keeping alert for openings, many Rats can secure a position they can build upon in the future. Effort and application will be needed, but what many Rats take on now will broaden their skills and be to their future benefit.

      The income of many Rats will increase this year, but all Rats will need to be disciplined in their spending. While money may flow into their accounts, it may all too easily flow out again. Financial paperwork and legal documents also need to be checked and filed away carefully. Lapses could prove problematic. Rats, take note.

      In view of their busy and often demanding lifestyle, it is also important that Rats give some thought to their well-being this year, including their diet and level of exercise, and allow themselves some time for rest and recreation. If not, some could experience fatigue or lack their usual sparkle. In the Ox year some ‘me time’ can make a real difference.

      They should also preserve some time for their own interests. Projects they have been working on and ideas they have been developing can enjoy some success this year, and particular skills and talents will be encouraged. The Ox year favours focus, application and using strengths to advantage. A further (and often unforeseen) advantage of pursuing their interests will be the social element some of them have. Many Rats will extend their social network this year.

      They will also value the support of those around them. There could be notable family achievements to mark and many Rats will be proud of the accomplishments of someone close to them. During the year they will find themselves encouraging others and dispensing advice as well as ensuring their household runs well. Their skills and attentiveness will be greatly appreciated and their domestic life busy and a source of considerable pleasure. A carefully planned holiday could also be greatly enjoyed.
