4 FEB 2007 - 3 FEB 2008

OVERVIEW

The world will be ushering in Chinese New Year of the Pig on February 18, 2007. However, the actual marker of a Chinese new year, the first day of Spring, shall make its stealth landing on February 4, 2007. More specifically at 13:18 hours that Sunday afternoon, a new Chinese year characterised by optimal strength begins its influence on us. The new year always offers new hope, though for one who is familiar with Chinese philosophy would know that the description of optimal strength may not be the most desirable because the Chinese way of life is about striking a balance.

Optimal strength does suggest peak performance but it also implies that a downhill slide would follow. The year of the Fire Pig shall provide euphoria and a great sense of satisfaction two third of the time, until the arrival of the 8th Lunar month in September. Then, the superb energy of the year will begin its disintegration, though the real threats of the year come later in the 10th and 11th Lunar months, from November, 2007 to early January, 2008.

The year of the Fire Pig provides auspicious energy and great fortune particularly for people who are born under the animal signs Rat, Tiger, Dragon, Horse and Monkey. The rest shall begin the year with a lower base, with the animal signs of Goat and Dog picking things up quicker than the Ox, Rabbit, Snake, Rooster and the Pig. People born under the last five signs will need to exercise more diligence to emerge unscathed.

The year of the Pig is also characterised by many arguments and verbal disputes all round. Therefore, it will take the effort of everyone to make it a more peaceful year.

Horoscope for the Rat sign

Fire Rat, age 72 (Born between 5/2/1936 07:30 - 4/2/1937 13:25)
Earth Rat, age 60 (Born between 5/2/1948 05:43 - 4/2/1949 11:22)
Metal Rat, age 48 (Born between 5/2/1960 03:23 - 4/2/1961 09:22)
Water Rat, age 36 (Born between 5/2/1972 01:20 - 4/2/1973 07:03)
Wood Rat, age 24 (Born between 4/2/1984 23:19 - 4/2/1985 05:11)
Fire Rat, age 12 (Born between 4/2/1996 21:08 - 4/2/1997 03:01)

The auspicious star is shining brightly over you, bringing great relief from the darkness of the previous year. Benefactors will emerge, and the more exposures you go for the more opportunities you will enjoy. You can expect an improvement in status or a good increment in salary. While it is good for you to take more actions, you must not behave with impatience or become unrealistic. Luck does build up well, but rushing things may cause some hard knocks that will impede your own progress. This is especially true for the Water Rat not to spoil the good luck. The only other drawback is the presence of extra romance luck that may distract one from focusing on work and achievement. On this, a female born under the sign of Rat may suffer a slightly more severe impact. For good health, pay attention to wellbeing of your kidneys.

WEALTH:
Your good fortune covers the wealth aspect, too. However, the amount of returns will be proportionate to the amount of effort you contribute. With the abundance of peach blossom that represents attraction luck, it certainly suggests that indulgence in relationships may hamper the wealth luck for the year and cause wastages.

ROMANCE:
Observe fidelity in order not to spoil both the relationship and your wealth luck if you are married. For one who is still unattached, you can afford some indulgence as long as it does not affect work.

Horoscope for the Ox sign

Fire Ox, age 71 (Born between 4/2/1937 13:26 - 4/2/1938 19:14)
Earth Ox, age 59 (Born between 4/2/1949 11:23 - 4/2/1950 17:20)
Metal Ox, age 47 (Born between 4/2/1961 09:23 - 4/2/1962 15:17)
Water Ox, age 35 (Born between 4/2/1973 07:04 - 4/2/1974 12:59)
Wood Ox, age 23 (Born between 4/2/1985 05:12 - 4/2/1986 11:07)
Fire Ox, age 11 (Born between 4/2/1997 03:02 - 4/2/1998 08:56)

In the year of the Fire Pig, it is time that an Ox person summons all the virtues of the Bovini - steadfastness, perseverance and single-mindedness to rise up to the challenges ahead, because your lucky star will be absent for twelve months. Indeed, the path ahead can be treacherous, filled with obstacles and troubles caused by mean people. On top of the hard working quality, you will also need to build up a strong psychological fortress to withstand the attack of unkind rumours and malicious gossips to avoid wild mood swings. The path ahead may be tough, treading it with mental endurance and willpower, it is but a momentary training in life; walking it without calm and patience, however, the bad features may appear to be worse than they really are. Be more relaxed to avoid muscle stiffness and indigestions.

WEALTH:
Instability in wealth luck requires the most cautious approach in handling your finance. Do not take any risk in investment and be disciplined in spending. Set out with a mission to protect your hard earn money in the New Year.

ROMANCE:
Protect vulnerable relationships with effective communications with your loved ones. It is possible to enhance the cohesiveness in bonding with sincerity and a loving attitude.

Horoscope for the Tiger sign

Earth Tiger, age 70 (Born between 4/2/1938 19:15 - 5/2/1939 01:10)
Metal Tiger, age 58 (Born between 4/2/1950 17:21 - 4/2/1951 23:13)
Water Tiger, age 46 (Born between 4/2/1962 15:18 - 4/2/1963 21:07)
Wood Tiger, age 34 (Born between 4/2/1974 13:00 - 4/2/1975 18:58)
Fire Tiger, age 22 (Born between 4/2/1986 11:08 - 4/2/1987 16:51)
Earth Tiger, age 10 (Born between 4/2/1998 08:57 - 4/2/1999 14:56)

The Fire Pig year provides a great platform for auspiciousness for a tiger person. The actual achievement, however, hinges on how much effort you put it, because the year also sees some tendency of procrastination and a sense of lethargy in work. You may also experience certain constraints in terms of implementation, thus it is necessary to have a thorough and more comprehensive planning beforehand to avoid any hindrance in the executions of plans. Confidence will remain high, though. As long as you do not take others for granted and succumb to excessive greed, it is a great year to collaborate in business and to venture out. Salaried staff can also look forward to great prospects ahead. Your health may suffer some general weakness though.

WEALTH:
Your finance enjoys good luck, too, though benefactors may be absent. Depending on individual birthdays, some of you who have strong personal wealth luck will benefit from great gambling luck this year.

ROMANCE:
Romance remains the weak link for a Tiger person, where frustrations and fickle mindedness are the main causes. For one who is not already in a courtship, it may be a while more before you can find your spark.

Horoscope for the Rabbit sign

Earth Rabbit, age 69 (Born between 5/2/1939 01:11 - 5/2/1940 07:07)
Metal Rabbit, age 57 (Born between 4/2/1951 23:14 - 5/2/1952 04:53)
Water Rabbit, age 45 (Born between 4/2/1963 21:08 - 5/2/1964 03:04)
Wood Rabbit, age 33 (Born between 4/2/1975 18:59 - 5/2/1976 00:39)
Fire Rabbit, age 21 (Born between 4/2/1987 16:52 - 4/2/1988 22:42)
Earth Rabbit, age 9 (Born between 4/2/1999 14:57 - 4/2/2000 20:40)

The inauspicious stars outnumber your auspicious stars for the year. The first rule to observe is to always be righteous and avoid going for unlawful solutions in order to avoid the effect of the Punishment Star. Otherwise, lawsuits will see negative outcomes for you. Be cautious with your work and all paperwork, and beware of fake business deals. Make full use of the alertness and nimbleness of the Rabbit to keep trouble away, and to avoid entrapments. On the brighter side, you are able to cope with your work quite skilfully - do make use of this luck to focus on work and business so that you can excel. Have more confidence in your ability and avoid being trapped by self-created stress in the work place.

WEALTH:
Wealth management needs caution, and real estate could be the only safe bet for you. Avoid getting involved financially with others to minimise the possibility of a legal tussle. Do not be a guarantor.

ROMANCE:
Romance or a planned marriage could be stressful to you due to your own pessimistic attitude. There is no real emotional threat, as long as you do not overspend for your loved ones.

Horoscope for the Dragon sign

Metal Dragon, age 68 (Born between 5/2/1940 07:08 - 4/2/1941 12:49)
Water Dragon, age 56 (Born between 5/2/1952 04:54 - 4/2/1953 10:46)
Wood Dragon, age 44 (Born between 5/2/1964 03:05 - 4/2/1965 08:45)
Fire Dragon, age 32 (Born between 5/2/1976 00:40 - 4/2/1977 06:33)
Earth Dragon, age 20 (Born between 4/2/1988 22:43 - 4/2/1989 04:26)
Metal Dragon, age 8 (Born between 4/2/2000 20:41 - 4/2/2001 02:28)

A person born under the Dragon sign enjoys perhaps the best fortune in the year of the Fire Pig. Get ready to welcome the great sunshine. The benefactors are present. Your endeavours will be successful. Chances of a promotion are high. Get ready to launch your new plans, or prepare to perform your work with excellence, or simply enjoy yourself. The forecast in general is great, and only weak fortune of individual Dragon people will prevent them from reaping as much benefits. The only advice is to be humble and not arrogant so that you can push your luck further. The only weak link is perhaps your health because the Illness Star is also present. Digestive system can pose some problems, and, as the peach blossom luck is blazingly bright, one may tend to over indulge in sexual pleasures that may take a toll on health, too.

WEALTH:
Wealth will be smooth with strong gains expected. To cap a perfect year, try not to overspend - saving is always a virtue.

ROMANCE:
Romance luck is strong - it is easy to start a relationship. Marriage luck is auspicious - it is a good year to tie the knot. Childbirth luck is also good - get ready to welcome a new family member.

Horoscope for the Snake sign

Metal Snake, age 67 (Born between 4/2/1941 12:50 - 4/2/1942 18:48)
Water Snake, age 55 (Born between 4/2/1953 10:47 - 4/2/1954 16:30)
Wood Snake, age 43 (Born between 4/2/1965 08:46 - 4/2/1966 14:37)
Fire Snake, age 31 (Born between 4/2/1977 06:34 - 4/2/1978 12:26)
Earth Snake, age 19 (Born between 4/2/1989 04:27 - 4/2/1990 10:13)
Metal Snake, age 7 (Born between 4/2/2001 02:29 - 4/2/2002 08:41)

The opposite of the great fortune a Dragon person enjoys, inauspiciousness befalls a person born under the Snake sign. In fact, a Snake person will have to withstand the worst impact of the year because it is in direct conflict with Taisui - the Annual God. The path is already a treacherous one to be manoeuvred with great caution, yet a person born in the year of the Snake is also ruled by restlessness and a sense of emptiness in the year of the Pig. One ought to refrain from becoming a headless snake: a systematic approach and balanced solutions to any problem will be very helpful. Take stride, bite on, and forge ahead! Mental strength and patience will help you ride the tide with more ease. Be relaxed to avoid frustrations and stress that could lead to many illnesses. Also, be alert to avoid accidents.

WEALTH:
Wealth luck is not steady, and it is easy to get into financial woes. Be thrifty. Be prudent. Do not be a guarantor.

ROMANCE:
The negative feeling arising from difficult times will have a direct influence on romance and relationships, where luck is also lacking. Work on more mutual understanding and avoid trivial arguments.

Horoscope for the Horse sign

Water Horse, age 66 (Born between 4/2/1942 18:49 - 5/2/1943 00:40)
Wood Horse, age 54 (Born between 4/2/1954 16:31 - 4/2/1955 22:17)
Fire Horse, age 42 (Born between 4/2/1966 14:38 - 4/2/1967 20:30)
Earth Horse, age 30 (Born between 4/2/1978 12:27 - 4/2/1979 18:12)
Metal Horse, age 18 (Born between 4/2/1990 10:14 - 4/2/1991 16:08)
Water Horse, age 6 (Born between 4/2/2002 08:42 - 4/2/2003 14:05)

The strong luck for the Horse sign is epitomised by a Protection Star that is capable of dismissing waves of bad luck before they hit the shore - without a trace. A Horse person should embrace the spell of good fortune to establish a good base for the future, or simple to grasp the opportunity for some grand achievements in the year. Humility and kindness would ensure you enjoy your good fortune fully. Another advice for maximising your fortune is to be selective in your choices of projects or business deals so that nothing of inferior quality slows you down. The only drawback for the year is psychological - you may become complacent from time to time and the feeling of loneliness may creep in, too. Health may be weakened, especially as a result of over working.

WEALTH:
Wealth fortune in business or work is remarkable. Gains are there for the reaping, but new investments may experience some constraints, therefore gambling may not give rise to much satisfaction.

ROMANCE:
Romance is excellent, though it may cause some wasteful spending. It is an auspicious year to get married and to have kids, too. Faraway places and traveling provide many chances for sexual indulgence, thus a married Horse person has to try hard to remain loyal to your spouse when you are in a foreign land.

Horoscope for the Goat sign

Water Goat, age 65 (Born between 5/2/1943 00:41 - 5/2/1944 06:22)
Wood Goat, age 54 (Born between 4/2/1955 22:18 - 5/2/1956 04:12)
Fire Goat, age 41 (Born between 4/2/1967 20:31 - 5/2/1968 02:07)
Earth Goat, age 29 (Born between 4/2/1979 18:13 - 5/2/1980 00:09)
Metal Goat, age 17 (Born between 4/2/1991 16:09 - 4/2/1992 21:48)
Water Goat, age 5 (Born between 4/2/2003 14:06 - 4/2/2004 19:56)

It is not an auspicious year for a person born under the Goat sign, with obstacles and hurdles aplenty in life. Some of the foreign connections may present nasty surprises, with mean people from faraway places undermining your work. You may also face accusations and gossips in the office. The good news is that a solutions star is present among the many inauspicious ones. However, this star is more effective when you contribute effort in working against the problems. When the effect of the star is activated with your own effort, it will bless you with more and more will power. Thus, not all is lost though the outlook appears bleak at first. The more you take on the problems head on, the more you will be able to summon the power of the auspicious star. Hence, grit, courage and resolve will help you ride through the year.

WEALTH:
Wealth luck is not entirely negative. The talents you demonstrate in your work or business can protect your wealth flow. However, there are chances of getting summons from the authorities.

ROMANCE:
Romance shall encounter many forms of challenges, thus you have to summon the resilient nature of the Goat in order to ride the tide. A sense of hollowness shall rise, but do understand that it is only temporary. Trust, love and care are the weapons to ensure victory over bad luck.

Horoscope for the Monkey sign

Wood Monkey, age 64 (Born between 5/2/1944 06:23 - 4/2/1945 12:19)
Fire Monkey, age 52 (Born between 5/2/1956 04:13 - 4/2/1957 09:54)
Earth Monkey, age 40 (Born between 5/2/1968 02:08 - 4/2/1969 07:58)
Metal Monkey, age 28 (Born between 5/2/1980 00:10 - 4/2/1981 05:55)
Water Monkey, age 16 (Born between 4/2/1992 21:49 - 4/2/1993 03:36)
Wood Monkey, age 4 (Born between 4/2/2004 19:57 - 4/2/2005 01:42)

Another lucky animal birth sign that enjoys great fortune in the year of the Fire Pig, the Monkey people will experience overall smoothness, good progress in work and business, and great romance luck. With a good chance of getting promotion, it pays to avoid complacency and carelessness in order not to ruin your good luck. You may still encounter minor troubles and stoppages, but you can deal with them easily with a clear mind, with the help of good fortune. Only the luck in a foreign place is somewhat weaker, hence, a travelling Monkey will feel constrained by some artificial conditions overseas, and the sense of loneliness can set in quickly when you are there.

WEALTH:
You can afford to feel more relaxed this year when money is concerned. With a promotion or an elevated status in work place, you may also be tempted to spend more, especially on your romantic interest. Wise planning in financial matters is still advised.

ROMANCE:
If the conditions are right, it is a good year to get married. For an unattached person, it is a great year to enjoy some liaisons, but for a married person, a clear head is required in order not to be carried away with the many new romantic encounters due to business or in the work place.

Horoscope for the Rooster sign

Wood Rooster, age 63 (Born between 4/2/1945 12:20 - 4/2/1946 18:03)
Fire Rooster, age 51 (Born between 4/2/1957 09:55 - 4/2/1958 15:49)
Earth Rooster, age 39 (Born between 4/2/1969 07:59 - 4/2/1970 13:45)
Metal Rooster, age 27 (Born between 4/2/1981 05:56 - 4/2/1982 11:45)
Water Rooster, age 15 (Born between 4/2/1993 03:37 - 4/2/1994 09:30)
Wood Rooster, age 3 (Born between 4/2/2005 01:43 - 4/2/2006 07:27)

Some patience is still required for people who are born under the Rooster sign, as the inauspicious stars still outnumber the auspicious ones this year. Success is still hard to come by, while financial well being is still in the doldrums. What helps your luck is that you are able to excel in what you do, especially when dealing with a foreign element, though diligence is required to avoid disputes in deals with foreigners. A huge element that can deplete your thin luck further is the presence of mean people in the work place. If you are in business, beware of business partners and do not take things for granted - always double-check the procedures and the important paperwork.

WEALTH:
Wealth element is weak. Avoid straining your situation further with risky investments, and do scrutinise your would-be collaborators before taking the plunge. Still, cash is king - the best strategy for money is to keep it.

ROMANCE:
Romance luck is eventful with much bad interference. If you treasure an existing relationship, protect it from gossips and be objective in discerning real problems from emotional ones. The former group is precarious while the latter group is merely vicarious.

Horoscope for the Dog sign

Fire Dog, age 62 (Born between 4/2/1946 18:04 - 4/2/1947 23:50)
Earth Dog, age 50 (Born between 4/2/1958 15:50 - 4/2/1959 21:42)
Metal Dog, age 38 (Born between 4/2/1970 13:46 - 4/2/1971 19:25)
Water Dog, age 26 (Born between 4/2/1982 11:46 - 4/2/1983 17:39)
Wood Dog, age 14 (Born between 4/2/1994 09:31 - 4/2/1995 15:12)
Fire Dog, age 2 (Born between 4/2/2006 07:28 - 4/2/2007 13:17)

The fortune of the Dog people is on the road to recovery from the low base last year. Patience is still required to see darkness dispersing gradually. Negligence can cause unpleasant outcomes especially in the first half of the year. You can afford to breathe better in the second half with the Protection Star helping on your finance, though self-effort is still vital to improve your wealth flow. Two domains will remain weak in the year. One is health. When not attentive in maintaining health, you will be easily susceptible to illness than anyone else. The other is that it is easy for you to feel lonely despite good romantic luck in the year. Thus, it implies that there are physical liaisons but not emotional connections. You may also find it hard to get good assistance in work, thus ending up doing much alone.

WEALTH:
Wealth luck will improve as the months go by, but you cannot afford to be negligent. Work hard for money and be vigilant.

ROMANCE:
It depends on what you want in a romance. Physical pleasure and new encounters are plentiful but spiritual fulfilment can be lacking. It is good news to a Dog person who is married because pregnancy comes easily, but, needless to say, the same occurrence shall bring headache, if not disaster, if you are not married.

Horoscope for the Pig sign

Fire Pig, age 61 (Born between 4/2/1947 23:51 - 5/2/1948 05:42)
Earth Pig, age 49 (Born between 4/2/1959 21:43 - 5/2/1960 03:22)
Metal Pig, age 37 (Born between 4/2/1971 19:26 - 5/2/1972 01:19)
Water Pig, age 25 (Born between 4/2/1983 17:40 - 4/2/1984 23:18)
Wood Pig, age 13 (Born between 4/2/1995 15:13 - 4/2/1996 21:07)
Fire Pig, age 1 (Born between 4/2/2007 13:18 - 5/2/2008 19:00)

Born under the animal birth sign that violates Taisui - the Annual God, a Pig person will experience much unfavourable time. Your finances causes worries, while your career or business easily attracts disputes. Carry out your work with integrity and do not take illegitimate short cut to avoid getting involved in lawsuits. A positive note is that you are able to demonstrate your capacity in work, though luck is lacking. Gossips and accusations may affect you directly, but it helps if you can handle them with grace and wisdom. If you cannot avoid travelling, it is vital that you exercise caution all round during your trip. With good planning and a systematic approach to deal with problems, you are your greatest help in rising up to the challenges.

WEALTH:
Wealth luck fluctuates in the negative territory, with descriptions ranging from mild shortages to horrible disasters. Prudence is thus useful in keeping your financial status as high as barely below water, while recklessness can really cause it to sink to the abyss.

ROMANCE:
Romance is not easily sustainable if you have not built your relationship on a good foundation. Emotional upheavals can be a serious threat to a relationship that is not showered with enough love. Good judgement is also required to separate real issues from those created by rumourmongers.
