Rat
Tiger
1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020
1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022
For people born under the sign of the Rat in the Chinese calendar, the year of Rooster is beneficial and fertile. Luck is also on the Rat’s side concerning business. Beware though the risks of exhaustion (or even burnout) for those who don’t manage to switch off their office laptop or smartphone at least a few hours every day. Rest periods should first be devoted to family time, hobbies, napping or reading, and never as time gained for ongoing business developments. Only Rats who can equitably combine work and idleness during 2017 shall see their goals succeed.
People born in the Year of the Tiger can expect to be a little shaken in 2017. This year will however be easier to overcome than 2016, as they can now count on a new trusted person to help face potentially difficult times. Nobody should consider taking the territory of a Tiger without leaving scars. If you’re a Tiger, stay away from other Tigers during 2017.
Ox
1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021 Years of the Rooster are generally beneficial to the sign of the Ox. These are periods when they take the bull by the horns after enduring several difficult seasons. The Ox can finally reap the fruits of her or his long and painful labor. Happy and relieved, the Ox must nevertheless be careful not to display any sign of her or his success, at the risk of arousing jealousy among friends and colleagues. This is the only major risk that awaits the Ox during this year of the Fire Rooster.
Rabbit
1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, 2023 Several times during the year, Rabbits might get highly annoyed by their inability to have (or regain) control of events. In 2017, Rabbits must keep a keen eye on their environment, and be careful not to engage in long term collaborations unless they trust the professional qualities of their employers or new business partners.
