Funny thing: The Dragon and Rabbit are as different from one another
as night and day, yet you're looking at your second year in a row with a
65 percent favorability rating. Count your blessings, Snake. There is a
difference, though: Last year was probably more to your taste, but this
one is more likely to result in greater success! Hopefully you charged
your batteries and made some good plans while the Rabbit was in charge,
because now you have ten good months in which to accomplish big things.
Strike out in new directions. Be daring. Let yourself get swept up in
the high-flying Dragon's enthusiasm.
Career
You're not a huge fan of change, but this year could bring it anyway.
After all, the Dragon's influence favors bold ideas and taking action.
Is your career in need of a makeover? Are you considering a new line of
work? Whatever the case, think long and hard about what you really want
to do -- and how you'll get there. Things might not progress as quickly
as you'd like, but a little perseverance can pay off. Sure, not all your
attempts to try different things will work out, but it's important you
make the effort anyway. A big shift might completely switch the
direction of your work life, so be open to changing paths!
Relationships
Your love life might seem demanding this year. The turning point that
could hit your career may also shift your relationship into a new
phase. The Dragon is a big fan of marriage and celebrations -- is it
time to tie the knot? If so, it could be an exciting and busy time for
you and your partner. If you're single, are you ready to mingle? It's up
to you how your dating life will shake out. If you're willing to
socialize more, things could very well pick up. Or maybe you'd rather
retreat and work on yourself. Whichever path you choose, some big
breakthroughs are bound to happen!
Health
You'll have to take initiative with your health this year. Don't
expect to feel great and look fantastic if you stop exercising and
eating healthy. It may be time for a serious look at your habits. Make a
conscious effort to get back into high gear. Join an exercise class or a
team sports league. Your accomplishments in other areas could be
compromised if you don't keep your health and fitness at a high enough
level. Give yourself every possible advantage by taking good care of
your body.
Wealth
When it comes to your finances, you might see some modest gains this
year. Did you hunker down and save during the year of the Rabbit? With
so much happening this year, you might be tempted to jump into a
get-rich-quick scheme or board an international flight or two. Instead,
you'll want to stop, think and strategize. Keep your guard up when it
comes to your money and who you're dealing with. The Dragon can favor
irrational behavior, so resist those impulses until you've thoroughly
thought them through. You can certainly come out ahead with a little
planning and conservative financial behavior.
