Predictions of 12 Zodiac in the Year of the Dog

RAT 鼠

(1924 – 1936 – 1948 – 1960 – 1972 – 1984 – 1996-2008)

Love & money go along well

In love, the natives of mouse will have a year with few changes, scattering the monotony in numerous situations. Couples can travel abroad, advising Europe as a tourist destination. The best time to travel will be at Easter time.

Drivers should be especially careful since the people of this sign will be under a strong influence of an eastern star, which will have negative consequences for health and personal safety.

The mouse natives, by their very nature, like to practice great achievements in order to stand out over others. However, the appropriate time to do so has not yet arrived. To show what they are worth during this year they should do so essentially in two ways: they should not change jobs, giving their best in their profession to maintain good relations in their place of work and assuming, in relation to their leaders, a very positive and constructive attitude, always accepting the proposed challenges. Secondly, they may also use a silver pendulum to increase their luck at work.

This will be a very positive year in the field of love for the mouse natives. Passionate men and women may find an opportunity to unite in marriage. It is recommended that you regularly attend parties or volunteer. The more you get along with others, the more likely you are to find your ideal match.

 OX 牛

(1925 – 1937 – 1949 – 1961 – 1973 – 1985 – 1997-2009)

Find your enemies at work

The ox natives will be able to find people who want to harm them at work. Be that as it may, out of debt, out of danger and if they maintain a just and true conduct, these attempts will not affect them at all. On the other hand, it is recommended that they avoid any kind of emotional involvement with colleagues or managers.

During this year, singles will probably not feel like marrying, or buying a home or even visiting their parents. In fact, this will be a year of immense hesitation. You should not decide to get married lightly. It is preferable that you let this year pass and then come back to consider this matter.

As regards love, this will not be a very positive year for the natives of the ox since they will be distressed with the weight of distrust. If this situation persists for a long time, it is suggested that during the year the couple makes a long trip. In this way, they will have the opportunity to talk and get to know each other while having fun.

Rewards at work in sight

Those who work for others and submit their development plans to their employers will certainly be recognized and supported. Upon completion of the tasks, there is a high probability that those born under the tiger will be rewarded, including through a promotion. If they are owners of a business, this year they will face problems like employee disrespect. If the employee’s disrespect is serious, he/she only has the possibility of punishing him/her to give a warning signal to all.

In the field of love there may be some twists and turns, women should be particularly attentive. This year robust marriages may end due to strong disagreements. Single people will have the opportunity to meet new people, but they must make an effort to avoid conflict. If they want to preserve the continuity of their relationships they will have to be more condescending.

 RABBIT 兔

(1927 – 1939 – 1951 – 1963 – 1975 – 1987 – 1999-2011)

Get married and buy a house

Those born in the year of the Rabbit will have an opportunity to change in the professional field, having a period especially propitious for this purpose from February 4. If you want to change jobs this year, then you should do it in the first half of the year.

Married couples will not have a very favorable year because of concerns and problems in their relationships with others. If they want to preserve the relationship, it is important that they know how to keep together in marriage.

Among the still unmarried, if they are in love, if they do not argue for trivial matters, then they may consider marriage a profound hypothesis for their future union. In terms of personal finances, the month of March will be around very weak levels while the remaining months will be within normal parameters. However, as long as they avoid wasting money, those born under the Rabbit will not have economic difficulties. They may engage in extra work in order to earn more money and increase their opportunities but beware of overwork.

They should be careful about what they say, avoiding litigation and not interfering in the personal lives of others.

The whole year is favorable for acquiring a house and for marriage. They can count on the support of their friends and the help of benefactors. Your enthusiasm will be great because success, fame and fortune will be evident.

DRAGON 龍

Avoid unnecessary fights

This year, workers of the dragon sign will find it difficult to highlight their merits. They will have no serious problems at the health level. However, some people may face problems because, in the past year, they were negligent in caring for themselves. But they will have a chance to recover.

They should pay special attention to the physical condition! Just because you feel good, you should not take it lightly.

Passionate men and women need to be cautious, avoiding unnecessary fights. Each one will have their opinions, which, however, may not coincide… in any case, they must be respected and avoid the occurrence of unbearable situations that lead one party to seek a loving relationship outside marriage. In marriage, when feeling is severely destroyed it will hardly be recovered.

Those born in the year of the dragon may suffer injuries caused by accidental situations. Pregnant women may be more prone to miscarriage. If possible, they should avoid attending funerals.

Get that job you want

Those who do not have a steady job may now have the opportunity to change jobs and to demonstrate in full their true skills. If, this year, the serpent natives change jobs and their bosses like them, they will have a very harmonious and productive professional year. For those who remain in the same job, this will also be a very satisfactory year, with only their dedication and diligent work to get the deserved reward.

In love, the likelihood of a breakup will be low. On the contrary, the passion will always be in evidence.

Men will have a less stubborn stance and women will be more tolerant and understanding, so there will be no meaningful discussions. Thus, an aura of love will surround the natives of the serpent. This year they will be more favored in love than the other signs of the zodiac. This will be a year to love, deeply!

HORSE 馬

(1930 – 1942 – 1954 – 1966 – 1978 – 1990 – 2002-2014)

Do not neglect your studies

In general, the natives of horse are a little aggressive. On the other hand, for this year, there’s a star of misfortune that could be unfavorable to pregnancy, so women who decide to become pregnant may face some problems. It is also possible that pregnant women suffer some falls and incus injuries, therefore a year not favorable to becoming pregnant, due to all these contingencies. Men and women of the horse’s sign are advised not to plan, for the time being, to have children.

In the first half of the year, school or academic results will be lower than in the previous year. In the period from May to June, elementary school students will be prone to neglect their studies and achieve unsatisfactory results. Students may have to face unexpected problems in their studies, leading to a large irregularity in their school performance.

GOAT 羊

Lucky star for love

If you are in charge of a store, company or department, we congratulate you! You will gain prestige and admiration from your subordinates, for your organizational and managerial skills, and will resolve, at a good stretch, all problems that arise, thus achieving success at the professional level. The year is also very favorable for entrepreneurs as everyone will be under a positive influence throughout the year.

By the arrival of the “Lucky Star”, the luck in love will be quite strong. Lonely men may find their favorite companionship, and as long as single men become aware of it, they may aspire to ascend the altar. Married people need to learn to communicate with their partners, to understand each other and to tolerate each other.

After the marriage, many goat natives tend to embark on work, leaving behind their family life, which will not be good for strengthening the relationship. Finally, this year, they will have the opportunity to settle and start thinking about having children, since it is a good year in this field. The women of the goat sign will be very strong and loaded with auspicious energy.

 MONKEY 猴

(1932 – 1944 – 1956 – 1968 – 1980 – 1992 – 2004-2016)

Beware where you put your money

Those who work in the business area should be very attentive to investments, as this will not be a very solid period in this area. It is recommended that you strive for success, but with uprightness and righteousness. If there is no improvement before June, try putting some yellow jade in a place (home or office) facing east.

For those who work for others, this will be a period of intense work. Everyone knows the proverb “Today you do not work hard, tomorrow you will work hard”. This is also a phase of knowledge and culture, in which many of the monkey natives will use their free time to engage in reading or similar activities. If all goes well, they can be promoted in their professional activity.

With the emergence of the misfortune star, this will not be a good year in the field of love, especially for singles. But there may also be problems in marriage, which will be a source of malaise.

 ROOSTER 雞

(1933 – 1945 – 1957 – 1969 – 1981 – 1993 – 2005-2017)

Avoid depressive states

The rooster natives will be somewhat confused this year. There is a predisposition to engage in extramarital affairs, which could completely destroy their reputation and bring about serious problems within the marriage.

On the other hand, there is no prediction of appearance of the fortune star. So, at work, it will tend to be a somewhat troubled year. The ideas of superiors and those of the natives of the rooster will not be readily complied with, they will be predisposed to communicate appropriately with colleagues, reflecting the star’s strong influence in all its breadth.

Without the light of the lucky star, you will inevitably struggle against a depressive state. It is recommended that they wear a green jade bracelet to increase energy and counter some tendency towards depressive states.

At the health level, the situation for the members of your family will not be very favorable. Therefore, special care will be needed with the elderly. However, the natives of the Rooster will face nothing of substantial seriousness regarding their own health.

DOG 狗

(1934 – 1946 – 1958 – 1970 – 1982 – 1994 – 2006-2018)

Trouble in relationships

Those born under the sign of the Dog may encounter some opponents with whom it will be more difficult to deal with and interact. The relationship between superiors and subordinates will also not be harmonious. But from another point of view it will be a favorable phase to face the fears and to connect intensely with the religion.

Professionals of arts and the scenic industry will be greatly favored. Temporary workers will often be subjected to unfair treatment, being able this year to see some diminished perks or even face dismissal.

The decisive factor in all these situations is the psychological side. They must cultivate a strong and positive attitude, but at the same time careful, tolerant and appeasing. Do not hold resentments.

For those who work in the area of business it will be an unlucky phase. The natives of dog are devout workers, with wide eyesight, but this year they may find environments of envy, grudges and resentment. They will have to know how to preserve their self-esteem and self-confidence. If your partners are dragon or goat natives, you should pay attention to the ideas they give you.

Finally a negative influence can create problems in couples’ lives.

PIG 豬

(1935 – 1947 – 1959 – 1971 – 1983 – 1995 – 2007)

Opportunities for temp workers

For temporary workers, opportunities will arise and it will be important for them to be deepened and realized. They will be all year under the protection of the “Solar Star”. They may be promoted to a superior position with the support of a superior benefactor, and can effectively have unique opportunities to demonstrate their talent and ability to work.

They must mobilize to take advantage of these rare opportunities. Women will not be as likely to receive promotions as men. There may be relationship problems, both at work and in friendships, which will have a negative impact on their moods. This is not a favorable year for job or career change, nor for entrepreneurship. They should be patient and wait for new days for this.

In love, men and women now think of a more solitary life. The year is not very conducive to marriage and for those who are married there may be some lack of romance and passion. In such cases, to counter this tendency, a break in routine, such as a trip, may help.
