"Feng shui
expert Joseph Chau Kam Shing gives a forecast to people for the year of the
water snake. He recently gave a talk as well as provided a written guide to
selected members of the press where he breaks down what each members of the
Chinese zodiac can expect this year."
Snake (1929,
1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013)
Master Joseph
Chau says that people born under the year of the Snake will have a fortunate
year. They are to expect stable income however at work, they must avoid office
politics. In the love department, it is a flat line for them and can be
unstable in some instances. For their safety they must be careful whenever they
are on the road and must be wary of sharp objects.
Horse (1930,
1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002)
According to
Master Chau’s written guide, this year is a "challenging" year for
people born under the year of the Horse. They should be careful with money as
it will be ‘easy come and easy go’ for them. On the brighter side, romance is
in the air for them especially for single horses but married people under the
Horse sign should steer clear from temptation.
Goat (1919,
1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991)
People born
under the Goat sign will have more opportunities in career development
according to Master Joseph Chau Kam Shing that is why he advises them to work
hard. They will be prosperous in terms of money and will be lucky in love.
However, they are reminded to give special attention to their diet and hygiene
to avoid getting ill.
Monkey (1920,
1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004)
The feng shui
expert says that this year is a compatible year for people under the sign of
the Monkey and their luck has improved from last year. Money is pretty good for
them according to Master Chau but they must be extra cautious in business
matters especially when it comes to contracts. On love, Monkeys are easy to get
involved with the opposite sex which can be a good thing for single people but
may be treacherous for married couples. For health they are advised to take
care of their digestive system.
Rooster
(1921, 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005)
Roosters will
have an easier time this year as the year of the water snake is compatible with
them. Just like those of the Monkeys, people under the sign of rooster are
advised to be cautious in their business affairs. Master Chau advises them
against borrowing money. He also adds that this is a good romantic year for
roosters although married ones should be careful from succumbing to
temptations. Roosters should be on the look out for signs of high blood
pressure, stroke and even other digestive problems.
Dog (1922,
1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006)
This is a
good opportunity for Dogs to show their skills in work and business. In fact,
they may even explore business in other countries. Abundant profits and
promotion are in their forecast for the year of the water snake. However luck
is not on their side in terms of their health. They are advised to keep their
personal safety in check at all times and to avoid dangerous sports activities
during the months of March, July, September, and October.
Pig (1923,
1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007)
People born
under the sign of the Pig may not be so lucky this year as they are said to
clash with the Snake. They must prepare themselves for frustration. Master
Chau’s guide even says that it is not the right time for them start a business
and if they still want to proceed, they must do so with extreme caution.
Romance is not good either as love affairs will be hard to spark.
Rat (1924,
1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008)
This is a
good year for money for people born under this sign as wealth will come.
However, they are reminded to be aware of their spending. Not much good news on
their love lives as their "romantic star is dim." Married monkeys
should be careful of being trapped in extramarital affairs.
Ox (1925,
1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009)
People born
under the year of the Ox face a lot of pressure and stress from work hence they
should be humble and patient. Money-wise, they will receive profits from their
business endeavors. They may be unlucky in love for the Year of the Water
Snake. Lovers need understanding to avoid quarrels and they should avoid
temptation so they will not destroy even their careers.
Tiger (1926,
1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010)
Master Chau’s
guide lists tigers as ‘in conflict’ with the snake thus their year may not be
so easy but they can be prosperous with hard work. They are advised to save
money and are cautioned from being too trustful of other people. There is a
silver lining on their love lives. They are expected to have ‘smooth-sailing
relationships’ and may even tie the knot the Year of the Water Snake.
Rabbit (1927,
1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011)
People under
the sign of the rabbit are in for one heck of a busy year. Work may result in a
promotion or business trip. Money is expected to be good but they are advised
to place all transactions in proper documentation to avoid problems. Love is
somewhat "fluctuating" for rabbits. Single people should be cautious
of love traps while married rabbits must stay away from temptations.
Dragon (1928,
1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012)
The luck of
people under this sign has improved. They must be calm to stay away from
troubles. In terms of money, they are expected to have a stable income although
they are warned against ‘speculative investments and gambling.’ Love is good
for Dragons. Single people born under this sign may the opportunity to have
blossoming love affairs. In fact it is even considered lucky for them to plan
their marriage if they have an exclusive partner for quite some time.
