This post is the continuation of the post yesterday about the Chinese Year of the Rat.

So far, I have given you some basic what-to-expect info for the first 6 signs in the Chinese astrological calendar, namely: rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, and snake. This time around, I'll be giving you information for those born under the second half of the Chinese signs.

• Horse - Of all the signs, the Horse is the unluckiest this year. You will become vulnerable, with your weaknesses being exposed. Fear not, for you only have to keep yourself with the people who matter you the most, eat well, exercise, and plan your time wisely (Quick tip: use a planner).
• Sheep - Your relationship with important people will be strained and distressed this year. Learn to accept that you are a part of this distress. A lot of career opportunities will arise but choosing the best opportunity is of importance.
• Monkey - While this is a good year for you, keep in mind to be tolerant. Try to be not so harsh. Furthermore, remember to not spend unwisely. Doing so will negate the good luck that you will have this year.
• Rooster - You will find that many obstacles will hinder your way this year. Learn to be not so emotional. Being so will just lead to failures and more obstacles. Use your mind above your heart.
• Dog - This a good year for you. Relationships will be the most important aspect of your life this year. Expand your network (Use an address books to keep names!) while nourishing your old relationships. Do not be afraid to show your skills, as this will your key to a prosperous life.
• Pig - Relationships will flourish. Finances will be no problem. However, be careful from those who take advantage. Excessive your work will not benefit you, either. Learn to rest, relax, and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Remember, these predictions should not be taken as facts. You are still the master of your own fate.

The Year of the Rat (Part 1)

The year 2008 marks the The Chinese year of the Brown Earth Rat. Actually, it officially starts on February 4th, based on Chinese calendar, but many people already refer to the whole 2008 as the Year of the Rat. Rats get along well with dragons and monkeys, but conflict with horses, rabbits, and roosters.

Chinese astrologers also say that people born under this Chinese sign are intelligent and hardworking. A good combination, I know, which is why few people of this sign are believed to be poor. They are sociable, but holds the family more than his peers. The drawback, however, is that they are sometimes too clever that they tend to be calculative of everything.

So what is in store for us this year? This are the Chinese astrologers' predictions:

• Rat - This is your year. This is your year of glory. value your family and your friends. This is not the time to be a flirt. Learn to prioritize those with whom you have a serious relationship.
• Ox - This is year of perseverance, a year of choices. Be wary of the choices that seem to lead to an easy success, as this success is only short-term.
• Tiger - This may not be your year, but with the support of your family and friends, you will survive. Conflicts will arise, but by giving them importance, you will resolve them.
• Rabbit - Normally, rats do not come in harmony with rats, but this is an exception. This is the year for love for you. Flirtations abound. Marriage during this year is also good. Many problems will arise, but learn to face them and not to run from them.
• Dragon - After long years of misfortune, your luck will now tun 180 degrees. Just learn to be patient and all of your work will now bear fruit.
• Snake - If you will only be more open and more honest with the people living around you, good luck will find their way to you. This is the year for you to make new ventures in career and business.

  Now, what are MY advices? Well, I believe that we should not rely our future on these kind of horoscopes. Of course, problems will come, but with hard work and perseverance, we'll succeed. But of course, I suggest that you buy this this lucky weather station and lucky alarm clock from Office 1000. Why are they lucky? well, with an alarm clock, you won't get late for work anymore. Thus a fruitful career ahead. With the lucky weather station, on the other hand, you'll get to plan your trips even before a storm reaches your country. Lol.
