Download as PDFYour horoscope is divided into two parts. The first details what you can expect from the year as a whole. It includes insights that apply to everyone as well as your particular sign. The second addresses how you will probably fare from month to month throughout the year. It features a favorability rating for each month.
Time to slow down. A fast pace may have worked last year when the Horse was in charge. And I hope you moved fast did a lot a good things. Maybe you did. Maybe you didn't. Still, now is the time to charge your batteries. Ever hear the saying, push on a rope? That's kinda what happens when someone tries to force things even though it's not happening for them. You get the idea. Usually it's better to react or just go with the flow when the Sheep's calling the shots. And that's now.
Want to hear about all the good things the Sheep brings? Sure you do. For one thing, it's OK to pamper yourself. Buy something nice for yourself. Take a vacation and splurge on a luxury hotel. Another thing. Be gentle and kind to friends and family. It's a very Sheep thing to do. And guess what? You're likely to get a lot more back than give. Such a deal!
No, it's not all smelling the roses. Two things to think about. Don't worry - nothing you can't handle. It's just in a Sheep year it'll seem like people are so emotional. And they'll probably think the same about you. So how's your self control? Stay in touch with your feelings. Remember, other people have them too. You may have to cut more slack that usual. Maybe some extra stroking. A little emotional support could go a long way. Second point. The Sheep's not exactly known for making money. Spending it is their thing. So, you want to keep an eye on your checkbook. You'll be OK if you keep away from those impulse purchases and don't spend more than you can afford.
Enough about the Sheep. It's also a Wood year. And that's a good thing. You see it's the Sheep's lucky element. So whether this is a good year for you or not, good chance some of the Sheep's luck is gonna rub off on you. Nice, eh?! Here's what you need to know about Wood energy. It's a creative force. So let your mind run free. Out-of-the-box thinking is in! And like the Sheep, it's linked to kindness and caring. Be alert for opportunities - for random acts of kindness. You'll feel oh so good. And people around you'll be so much happier.
All in all, looks like a good year to me. Hope it's a great one for both us!
I believe is missing a header here:
Anything's better than the Horse, right? Hopefully last year wasn't too challenging. Things should go better for you this year. How much? Well, OK, maybe just a bit. You're up nine points, from 34 to 43% favorable. Kinda like going from a D to a C minus on your report card. More good news. Next year it could skyrocket! So dig into your report. It'll help you see when and where to strike - and to lie low.
Yearly Career
Wasn't last year great for learning on the job? Well, Sheep promises more luck than Horse (you can use that, right)? This year put that a-maze-ing brain to work! Discover new ways of adding to your knowledge. You could find online training that won't cost your boss a penny. If you save your boss money AND train after hours, they'll be pleased! Take good care of yourself, though. Too many late nights make you sleepy on the job. So get out and have some fun. Going out to lunch or dinner with colleagues could also help you at work. Enjoy yourself while boosting your popularity. Your co-workers may have challenges in an emotional Sheep year. Lend an ear if they want to talk about their troubles.
Yearly Relationship
You can breathe a little easier this year. But just a little. Emotions are likely to run high. If you already have a sweetheart, they're likely to be more sensitive. Since Sheep heightens appreciation for beauty, give thoughtful gifts. Take them to a play. A concert. Buy them a print of an admired work of art. And remember yourself! A bit of pampering can help you feel better about love challenges. Tell your sweetie "I love you" more often. Offer your date a foot rub. And give compliments! If your sweetheart dresses up for a night out, tell them how wonderful they look. But also take time for you. Enjoy risky pursuits like sky diving? Indulge a little. And once in a while, take a date!
Yearly Health
You'll enjoy better health this year. And yes, that's a good thing! Not time to take risks with your well being, however. The sensitive Sheep calls for excellent self care. Don't put off that visit to the doctor. Go. Make sure to put veggies on your plate. But don't just put them there: eat them. For the clever Rat, plenty of brain food does the trick. Like black currants. Whole grains. And pumpkin seeds. Look them up. Make a list and put it on the fridge. Use that Rat cleverness in the kitchen. With Sheep creativity, who knows what you can cook up? Get plenty of exercise, too. Find one activity. Do you love mountain biking? Make a plan to do it regularly, and stay with it. And don't forget to take your vitamins.
Yearly Wealth
Being so smart got you through the Horse's challenge. Get set for things to improve with Sheep luck. Yes, making money means sticking your neck out. And you excel at risky business. Just use that wonderful brain to consider every aspect. The Sheep's sensitive and emotional nature could bring challenges. Invest wisely! Grow those funds you maintained last year. At least a little. Minimizing challenges should make this possible. What's the good word this year? Diversify. Put your green in a variety of places. Your smarts can help. Identify the safest investments, then make them. You might find an advisor you trust. Maybe another Rat? Or not. Twice the daring could mean goodbye, money. But do seek someone whose intelligence you respect.
Yearly Travel
That trip you put off last year? Was it short and not too far away? This might be the right time. Tap into Sheep's creativity. Plan weekend excursions. You may enjoy going alone. You could invite friends or that special someone. Have projects to finish at home? A staycation might be just the thing. After all, your luck's a little better with the Sheep. But just a little. That jaunt to Europe? Postpone it a while longer. Step lightly until the signs are more favorable. Until then, you can have a little cake. And eat it, too. Oh, and when you're ready to go? Drive. Take a train. Hop on a ferry. If you must fly, make it short. Long flights could prove risky, even for you.
Born in a Metal year, living in a Wood one. You know how those Metal axes chop down (Wood) trees. So it's not exactly one of your lucky elements. Could be worse - you born in a Wood year living in a Metal one. So what to do? Be realistic is the first thing that comes to mind. I wouldn't be buying lottery tickets with 50,000 to one odds. It's probably not necessary to be really cautious. Then again I wouldn't be reckless. Using common sense works. And think about Wood. When I do, I think of making compromises. With your Metal you may have a tendency to just charge ahead. That style might not get you very far this year. Better to soak up some of that Wood energy. Let other people win sometimes. This year it's all about playing nice, at least more so than playing to win. In the end it's still up to you. Fight it, and you'll probably think this was an unlucky year. Be flexible and.... Who knows?! A final thought. As you read my words, understand things may not go quite as well as I say. That's OK. You'll still have good months and lucky days. My best advice is stay positive and go with the flow.
This part looks at your fortunes during the year in terms of its twelve months. Each narrative begins with a rating that allows you to instantly see how good the month is likely to be for you. These are unique ratings computed especially for the year of the Wood Sheep. The narratives highlight the major influences impacting you each month and include suggested “do's” and don'ts.

- Month of the Earth Rooster
Earth
Tiger- Rat
- 32%
Overview:
Not fair, is it? A (big) cat and a Rat. No wonder your rating is 32%. Still, it could be worse. Trust me. Even in the most challenging months, and this isn't one of them, you'll still have some lucky days. I'm hoping you're normal. You know, a clever Rat. Then you should have no trouble making the best of them. Speaking of typical Rats. Are you one of those who likes to live on the edge? Well, I'd forget about that stuff this month. Now's the time to play it safe. I know, probably not your thing. Still that could be important. This is the first month, so you want to set the right tone for the year. And for you, it's caution. Ever hear the gambler song. Kenny Rogers sings you have to know when to hold. The when is now for you. So get your year off to a good start by having the right attitude. Then all, well mostly all, will be well.
Financial Outlook:
Okay, if you're like most Rats, you've already prepared for all eventualities. Plan B or C might not be the one you were hoping to follow. Still, better than getting caught off guard. And you can still see the pros, right? Why not do a little people watching? Check out what others are doing. You might glean some useful information. Or pick up some new strategies. If you're itching to take action, you could try putting it all into a flow chart. Maybe you'll concoct plan D. Which could become your new plan A. Reigning in those impulses can actually be fun. In a I'm more clever than you kind of way. Kinda like keeping a secret. You might be tempted to act on an investment or career opportunity. If you absolutely can't wait, consider holding off until at least the 10th or the 17th. That way you have time to double check all your options.
Love:
All does not have to be lost in this Tiger month. Maybe caution's not your middle name. But even when caution's advised there's still fun to be had, right? Just bring those lofty expectations down a bit. Of course others are drawn to you - who wouldn't be? But do they all have to be the Next Big Thing? If you're already involved, how about setting aside your own feelings and stepping into your partner's shoes? Wow. Not much gets past you, especially when your head is clear. A little perspective taking could come in handy. We can't all be as gung ho as you, at least not all the time. Doesn't mean we don't care. Lucky days for romance are the 23rd and 28th. The special someone you choose to shower with your affections will likely find your charms irresistible, especially on the 23rd (wink wink).

- Month of the Earth Rabbit
- Earth
Rabbit- Rat
- 32%
Overview:
Two in a row?! I get the big cat (last month's Tiger), but what's with the Rabbit? Remember what I told you about the Sheep and emotions. Well now you're looking at a month where emotions run high in a year when they do. And, if you're a typical Rat, you really don't care for that style. What's a clever Rat to do you say? You're in luck. The element right now happens to be Earth. Use it. It'll help you stay grounded and control your emotions. All sorts of things come to mind. Simply walking barefoot outdoors. Gardening. And of course meditation. Second. This is the first of three months where you need to pay attention to feelings. I'm talking about other people's - and not just those in your inner circle. Your motto might be... let's all get along. I know that may mean you have to put up with some #@%. Suck it up. In the end you'll feel a lot better. By the way, 32% isn't the end of the world. You'll have your opportunities.
Financial Outlook:
Hopefully the whole bit about biding your time in Tiger month didn't leave you too anxious to jump back into action. Rabbit takes a cautious approach to business and money so.... Back to that flow chart. Listen, I get that the shiny new watch you spied in the shop window's calling your name. It's an investment you say? Just the thing to complete your professional look? Well, maybe. If that's the case, then the 11th's the day to pull the trigger. As far as spearheading the new marketing campaign at work? Mm, just think it through. I know you'll pick your team wisely. I'm guessing you've been keeping an eye on who's been showing up to work early and who's been meandering in. And if your boss wants to choose for you? The 8th would be a good day to cross that bridge.
Love:
So things aren't heating up quite yet. Don't worry. That'll change when Dragon comes around. Meanwhile you're likely to get plenty of attention from friends. A new photography exhibit would be a fun outing on the 21st. Good company and something to engage your mind. The conversation's likely to carry on through the night. Still wishing for more spark in your love life? You could surprise your other half with a candle lit dinner on the second. Followed by a walk under a glowing moon. See? You still get to be spontaneous. Still waiting to meet that special someone? Why not have fun while you're waiting? Maybe chat up the sales clerk at Whole Foods. They could probably use a pick me up. A connection you make now might become something more with time.

- Month of the Metal Dragon
- Metal
Dragon- Rat
- 66%
Overview:
Ahhh. You can always count on the Dragon to lift you up! This has the looks of one of your best months of the year. It's also a Metal month. Did you know that's the Rat's lucky element? I think I told you risk is out for now. Well, here's an exception. I know you're going to do it anyway. Go ahead and take a chance - a little one! Do you have any big plans? Thinking about making a change? This is probably the time to do it. Now don't get carried away. Your 66% rating is very good but it's not enough to risk all. Hopefully you took advantage of the last two months to get some rest and relaxation. Busy busy busy should be your approach now. Music to your ears, eh?! So go do your thing.
Financial Outlook:
Finally! It's time to take some action. I have a feeling you're more than ready for it. That cupcake shop you've been thinking of opening? The empty art deco space looks good. You could sign the lease on the 12th and file the business papers on the 13th. That is, if you can pull it all together. Which I bet you can. You'd rather stay put? Who could blame you with all the praise coming your way. Plus you just got the green light to strut your stuff. By adding your special touch to a business lunch with a prospective client you could be the one to seal the deal. A presentation could showcase your analytical prowess and get people talking. And paying you more money. Go ahead and treat yourself to a five course meal. Followed by a night at the opera. A little splurging's in order.
Love:
Something's sizzling. And it looks like your love life. Last month's romantic gestures were not in vain. You can expect the favor to be returned. With interest. It might be a sultry dance with the one who makes your heart race. Or unexpected flowers. Maybe a love note. A naughty love note. One that demands a response. Things are moving more to your liking. Ready to dig a little deeper? Go ahead and share what you're feeling. Whether it's with an old flame or new one. Chances are your passion is catching. If your love life's seemed bland lately some risk taking could spice things up. Ever try a rock climbing date? The physical activity. The adrenaline rush. The amorous effects. Dates on the 6th and 9th could lead up to a super sexy night on the 12th.

- Month of the Metal Snake
- Metal
Snake- Rat
- 57%
Overview:
Not bad. There's something about the Snake that gets your juices flowing. I'm talking brainwork. Another thing. Luck is with you as the Metal element's still in charge. So let's put two and two together and come up with four. Your rating's 57% - good but not great. Good enough to be in the game. Now if you want to win.... I think you know where I'm going with this. It's time to engage that brain. To put the clever in clever Rat. Has something had you stumped? It's time to think your way through whatever's been holding you back. Here's something else to think about. Depth. Yup, the Snake likes to dig deep. I know you're probably fast. You like to get things done quickly. Like to cut corners? I think you're getting the picture. Your rating is hardly a guarantee of success. But, the more you can learn about your situation, the more likely you're to slither through the maze and get your cheese!
Financial Outlook:
Your rating's still above average so let's keep it rolling. A tiny note of caution. You might want to consider taking on short term rather than long term projects. In other words it might be wiser to politely decline the nomination to open a new branch from scratch. Your voice still carries, though. Go ahead and pitch your story idea. It's likely to be well received. Along with any other ideas you have. Such as a more efficient communication system among departments. And with work trucking smoothly along this could be an ideal time to enjoy some of your hard earned money. The 2nd's a lucky day to buy something big. How big? Let's say somewhere between a motorcycle and a yacht. Maybe you'd rather buy a new outfit and invest the rest of the money. Good days to make your move include the 30th and the 8th.
Love:
Things are cooling off but not by much. Seduction still fills the air. Spring's in full swing after all. Why not take advantage of the warmer weather? A picnic by the lake shows your romantic side. Not sure what to pack in the basket? You could go for homey classics like cold cuts and potato salad. Champagne will add a touch of class. And dessert? Chocolate dipped strawberries of course. Let's say the weather's not cooperating. A resourceful Rat like you knows what to do. You've got charm and personality. That's enough to spark romance just about anywhere. Bowling alleys and pizza parlors included. The person you're with's more likely to be swept away by you than by the backdrop or props. Days to reserve for romance: the 22nd, the 30th, and the 9th.

- Month of the Water Horse
Water
Horse- Rat
- 22%
Overview:
You know that feeling you get at the bottom of a roller coaster. You're just sitting there. Waiting for.... That's where you're probably at now. The Horse isn't likely to do you any favors. Might not be a bad thing if you take it the right way. In two months you could be looking at your best of the year. So why not get ready for it?! Make some plans. If you're like me, you proably live from day to day most of the time. Well, here's a time when it might be best to think ahead. Of course looking at where you are and how you got here could be a good thing to do too. Is there something you need to finish? Thinking about making a change? Not sure I'd do it now, but checking out your options would be a good thing. There you have it. No need to let that low rating get you down - as long as you don't fight it.
Financial Outlook:
Okay let's take things down a notch. You might double check the timeline on any big projects like, say, rebranding. Would it be reasonable only in a time warp? It's okay for things to take a bit longer than what you're hoping. After all, it's worth it to get that copy letter perfect. Can't decide between the plum and fuschia color schemes? Clarity should come to you on the 27th. Meanwhile, if a colleague's been rubbing you the wrong way taking the higher ground wouldn't hurt. Yes, the unceasing elevator music streaming from their desktop speakers is, well, unceasing. Why not suggest a new Pandora station? Some Josh Grobin? Or on the classic side, Tony Bennett. If you've been thinking of investing, consider making your move on the 25th or the 5th. Just be on the safe side, okay? A fixed annuity or money market should do the trick.
Love:
Does a lower rating mean the party's over? As a Rat, is it ever over? So now it's more of a garden party than a Hollywood after party. There're still people to charm. They just might seem distracted. Why not consider the reasons if your signals aren't returned with equal vigor. Maybe communication's fuzzy. You say 'et's get coffee and they hear let's just be friends. Some careful planning if you've got your sights set on someone will likely get you further than anything last minute. Maybe your special someone's already by your side. Planning still has its rewards. It's all about perspective taking. A day at the beach searching tide pools for sea stars followed by dinner at a coastal resort? Oo la la. Aim to please and you should score in a big way. Especially on the 18th and 30th.

- Month of the Water Sheep
- Water
Sheep- Rat
- 32%
Overview:
You're right. Not going to celebrate a 32% rating. There's a bright side though. It's a Water month. Since Rat is a Water sign, you're in your element. That's good when it comes to things like travel and communication. This actually could be a good month. Hmm. I can see your questioning look all the way from here. OK. Here's the deal. I've been telling you about the Sheep and feelings. Same here. Again, it's all about controlling your feelings and being sensitive to other people. More than that. You have to do something to help them with theirs - at least by being understanding. So that low rating is based on degree of difficulty, not that Fate is against you. Can you handle it?
Financial Outlook:
Things should ease up this month. I'm guessing you're something of a leader at work. Officially or unofficially. Which means you play a part in setting the tone. Oh the power. And the responsibility. Not surprising if it gets to you now and then. Maybe it's time to let off some steam with your work buddies. Some after-hours bonding at the bar and grill down the street could be in order. Amazing what sharing a plate of nachos can do. Builds community. Boosts moral. And then more work gets done. Could be just the thing to get through the final push of a project. I hear those last twenty hours of data analysis are the worst. Still holding on to that investment money? Lucky days to go for it are the n9th and 11th. Or you could wait. Your rating's about to peak. Are there more advantages to waiting a few more weeks?
Love:
When's the last time you called home? Getting back to your roots might be just the thing to stay balanced and feeling nurtured. After all, you put in all that effort making others feel special last month, right? You deserve some TLC too. So how about dinner at Grandma's house on the 16th? Mmmm. No one cooks like Grandma. Love straight to your tummy. Later you could get the family together for a barbecue. Nothing extravagant. Burgers and beers. Chips and dips. It's about catching up and reconnecting. You might find you missed them more than you thought. No, I didn't forget your love life. It's still there. And doing alright now that your love stores have been repleted by friends and family. Reserve the 1st for a sexy night out. Getting close on the dance floor. Wining and dining. Ordering dessert to go....

- Month of the Wood Monkey
Wood
Monkey- Rat
- 66%
Overview:
Drum roll please! Could this be your best month of the year? Not making any promises. Still, if I was a betting man, this is where I'd place my chips. The Monkey's one of your best friends and.... Wood's one of your favorable elements. Do you know the old, farmer saying? Make hay when the sun shines. So maybe this year isn't giving you everything you want. No reason this month can't be a winner though! Timing is everything. Don't know how many times I've heard that. Anyway, this is the time! Can I count on you to make the best of it?! I think you will. Here's one last tip. Play nice. You'll definitely catch more flies with honey than with vinegar in the coming weeks.
Financial Outlook:
Monkey's in town and things are buzzing. What a great time to add a spark of creativity to projects at work. From designing a new logo to recruiting new clients. If there's a challenge, you've got the solution. As long as you've got the space to do your thing. If you're feeling micromanaged go ahead and clue the boss in on the 22nd. Keeping in mind the power of a compliment, of course. And with examples of your more than adequate capabilities. Try including words like 'support' and 'appreciated.' A line graph charting your most recent successes should get the message across. Keep your eyes open for favorable investment opportunities on the 21st and 2nd. Possibly something with more oomph than a money market. Ever hear of Broadway investments? You could help fund the next Wicked or Book of Mormon.
Love:
Woo hoo! Love's in session. A casual acquaintance could quickly grow into something more. Especially if you let your creativity guide you. A gondola ride's sure to impress. Or at least spark conversation. Enough to lead to a second date? How about a night out serenaded by a local blues band? If you're already partnered up chances are the partnership's about to get stronger. Sweeter. You know those couples that others are jealous of? The ones causing good humored eye rolls because they can't keep their eyes - or hands - off each other? This is why you chose each other. Why not show them you'd do it all again by recreating your first date? Was it a bowling alley? A Shark's game? You get all the romance and none of the awkwardness. Whether the love's old or new, lucky days for those blissful dates include the 23rd and the 1st.

- Month of the Wood Rooster
- Wood
Rooster- Rat
- 30%
Overview:
Roosters like to strut their stuff. And they don't particularly like to be challenged. Guess what that does to your game?! Yup. You could get into some arguments you're not likely to win. Did I say the Rooster likes to argue? Well they do. It's becoming clear to you, right? OK. You've got the key to do better than 30%. Go ahead; do your thing. But when you hear someone say no, get out. It's not the time to press your point home. Find the calm waters. You can sail there. There are still games to be won, gains to be made. Follow the gambler's advice: Know when to hold, know when to fold, and know when to walk away. You'll be likely to have more success - and keep your peace of mind.
Financial Outlook:
So a lower rating might prompt more caution when it comes to your finances. Then again with three lucky days to make a major purchase, who can resist? Anyways you've been pretty thrifty this year, haven't you? And what exactly do I mean by major purchase? Anywhere from an original Piero Manrique to a retirement home on the coast. Depends on how much you have stashed away. Just be the clever Rat I know you are and make sure to leave enough for a rainy day. Back to those lucky days? The 13th, 23rd, and the 5th. I bet you've already got the perfect place picked out for your new painting. I'd think twice before showing off your new purchase at work, though. The temptation might be strong being that flashy Rooster's in charge. Still, too much crowing could ruffle some feathers.
Love:
Okay, time to come down from the clouds. I'm not saying love's done for the day. Far from it. It just might be tinged with a bit more reality. But what's the main ingredient in a successful relationship? Yeah, besides that. I'm talking about communication. Both sides of it. So if you need a night to shoot pool with some friends, just say so. Or maybe the tables are turned and you'd like more attention. Remember the squeaky wheel? This communication stuff works the other way too. Just consider this a gentle reminder to keep a sympathetic ear open. If love seems elusive, take heart. You never know how even a trip to the dry cleaner's can change your life. With five, yes, five lucky days for dating someone's bound to show up on your radar. Got a pen ready? The 19th, 23rd, 29th, 1st, and 2nd. Whew.

- Month of the Fire Dog
Fire
Dog- Rat
- 39%
Overview:
If it's any consolation, this is the last month you'll have to deal with less than 40% for a while. Doggie style's probably not your thing. Still, a smart Rat can get around that. But Fire's another thing. Yup, it's not one of your lucky elements. So not the time to push your luck. Let's see if we can increase your odds. I have an idea. Look to Fire and Dog for clues. Ever hear the saying, fools rush in where wise men fear to tread? That's kind of what happens when Fire's in charge. Your mission - look before you leap. You don't need to be afraid, but you might want to be a little more careful this month. Do you have a Dog? Whether you do or not, there's something you can learn from man's best friend. They're loyal. They take care of their own. Those are traits that could help you in the coming weeks. You're up to the challenge, right?
Financial Outlook:
Time to get a crystal clear vision of what you want. Does CEO for a high profile tech company suit you? Or would you rather venture out on your own? Maybe that inner entrepreneur is straining at the leash. Ever consider IT counseling? Or maybe lend your social savvy to starting a networking service. A 39% rating doesn't mean you won't succeed. There just might be some kinks to iron out. Lucky days for starting a business are the 20th, 21st, and 27th. While you're sorting out your career plans it won't hurt to review the budget. Is the daily Starbucks a habit you want to keep funding? Those mocha lattes add up. Not to begrudge you the luxury. But if you've been considering a change, just think - what else could you do with that money? Yes, now the wheels are turning. Of course, knowing you, you'll keep the lattes and figure out how to make more money instead.
Love:
How about looking at love from a different angle? There's been a hefty dose of romance lately. How are you faring on a friendship level? I only ask because I get that your passions run deep. And a safe place to set them's important. Ready to make a move and talk to the mystery runner you see each morning? Might as well. You already have something in common. You've started friendships on less, right? And maybe some of them blossomed into more. Already doing the couple thing? When's the last time you reveled in your mutual friendship? As in, spent the whole day being goofy. Or exploring a new city together. You could start at the farmer's market and end at the top of the tallest tower. Lucky days to mingle with friends, romantic or platonic, include the 14th and the 21st.

- Month of the Fire Pig
- Fire
Pig- Rat
- 54%
Overview:
There's just something about a Pig. Maybe a little slow. Some even say naive. Sounds like an environment made for a clever Rat! Your 54% says I'm probably right. I'll give you this; you're likely to be on your game this month. All's not roses though. Let me remind you; Fire's not one of your lucky elements. Are you typical? Like to live on the edge? Here's some news. This may not be the time to push your luck. So go ahead, have a great month. Just try - a little bit anyway - to play it safe. We're getting into the year end, holiday season. Can you say party time? I know I don't need to say more on this to you. After all, what Rat doesn't like a good party?!
Financial Outlook:
How about some balance between work and play? Sound good? Try tapping into the spirit of togetherness. A collaborative approach to rewriting the entire employee handbook probably feels less daunting. You could add a little incentive too. Faster the work gets done, sooner the party starts. Then everyone pitches in. Feel free to pose this to the boss on the 29th. Balance comes into play again when it comes to finances. This time it's fun vs. practicality. You might find yourself opening the wallet for a new set of hand blown wine glasses. Because they're striking, right? The way the light dances off them just so. Do you need a new set of wine glasses? Well then. Practical meets pleasing. Bingo. If you've got something bigger in mind? Say a new car? I'd wait 'til the 17th, a lucky day for contracts, before signing on the dotted line.
Love:
Time to cuddle up! You might notice love has a feeling of innocence. This perfect balance of guileless fun and earnestness. It calls for a day at the antique flea market. You could make it a date on the 30th. Kettle corn. Vintage vinyl. Neck scarves and kitchen bowls from a simpler time. Leads into talk about remembering when. Or stories about family. Speaking of, you might run across the perfect gift for Uncle Steve. Why wait to give it to him? The 17th invites you to make some family time. Already feeling the holiday crunch? Sure the hustle and bustle's mounting but family's supposed to be the fun part of all that. How 'bout keeping it simple with take out plus a football game? Significant others are more than welcome to join. After all at this time of year everyone's family.

- Month of the Earth Rat
- Earth
- Rat
- Rat
- 48%
Overview:
You know the old saying, every Dog has its day. Well every Rat has its month too. I can see that look on your face. How come I only get a 48% in my own month?! Fair question. I can think of two things. For one, Earth isn't a lucky element for you. But there's something more imortant. It has to do with its sign. Remember what I said about last month? With the Pig in charge it's usually easier to work your game. Ahem. Rat's in charge now. Other people are going to be better at their games too. You'll have to be on top of yours to succeed. Can you say one upmanship?! Look on the bright side. If you're a typical Rat sign person, you love a challenge. OK. I'm giving you one tip. It's this. Being careful might not be good enough. You'll also have to dig deep. Less winging it, more thoughtful planning. More attention to detail. To strategy and tactics. All the stuff you live for anyway.
Financial Outlook:
Feeling like all you do lately is scurry, scurry, scurry? Like most Rats, you probably have a gazillion projects going on at once. You might be jumping into the next scheme before you finish the last. You could think of it as a challenge to overcome. Will you find a way to cut back on projects? SIlly me. More likely you'll find some great time saving short cuts. Only they might not sound so great to your team. It might take some coaxing to get everyone on board with the plan to combine the accreditation report with the new logo project. It makes sense to me but not everyone thinks like a Rat. Finances should keep pretty stable. You know the drill. Spend a little. Save a little.
Love:
It's your month, Rat! Others might be feeling rushed by the holidays. You on the other hand feel the rush. The kind that comes from holding hands and stealing kisses. Isn't life grand? The longest night of the year's approaching. Think leftovers and champagne. You could light some candles and fritter the darkest hours away. There's something about those midnight talks isn't there? Especially with the right person. Maybe they're a soulmate. Maybe they're about to become one. It's bound to be quite an experience with feelings flowing and passions rising. Life changing? Mm, could be. Or just one of those times you'll be thinking about for years to come.

- Month of the Earth Ox
- Earth
Ox- Rat
- 45%
Overview:
Do you know who your Chinese Astrology soul mate is? Yup, the Ox. That should clue you in. I'm talking about how to make the best of that 45%. Talk of soul mates reminds me of one thing. Lessons. I bet you're going to learn something in the coming weeks. The catch is. Will it be a hard lesson? Remember what I said last month. Luck's not on your side right now. A wise Rat's not going to take unnecessary chances. How about you? One other thing. You won't even know you're having a lesson unless you're looking for it. So keep eyes open. More important. Keep an open mind. I know you want the cheese - and you want to get it with the least amount of trouble. Hope I've helped.
Financial Outlook:
I'm thinking the holiday season treated you well. You should be rounding out the year well into the black. There might've been some leaner moments, but nothing you couldn't outsmart. Now Ox's in town. All headstrong and playing it safe. Remember, the goal's the same: Get the job done. Someone else's method for preparing the growth in sales report might not seem as dynamic as yours. Aiming for a compromise'll get you farther than insisting on your way. Trying Ox's approach to finances won't hurt, either. You've enjoyed some splurging this year, right? Consider balancing that out. Then if the new car lands in the shop you're way in the clear.
Love:
So the year comes to a close with a happy medium. Maybe you've found out slowing down's not always a drag. The cool thing about Ox is its steady pace. Which could free you up for some rest and relaxation. Why not take advantage? A couple's massage could be just the thing. If you're feeling adventurous you could check out the mud baths. Their restorative powers should have you all ready for the new year. And I did mention a happy medium. You know those meet up groups? There's one for pretty much everything. Photography enthusiasts. Vegans. Entrepreneurs. Aha! I thought that last one would get your interest. Just a thought if you're looking to liven things up and maybe meet someone new
