World prediction

Economy

The year of the "Water Dragon Element" symbolizes a year of increased economic uncertainties; chaotic share market behavior - frequent panic scenarios, unfound speculation and shortage of supplies such as medicinal, foods and natural resources. Such turbulent scenarios spread across the globe like wild bush fire and the weaker and poor nations could be at the mercy of those developed and wealthier nations. 

Those upcoming nations (Asia, central Asia and Southern America) could excel even better than numerous developed western nations. The majority of the latter nations will be struggling with untold internal uproar or dissatisfaction of their citizens. 

The year will be a tough testing and challenging ground for those nations with "ill prepared" policies and a handful of such nations will eventually fall behind some third world nations, as a consequence of not being willing to adapt or adopt certain imposed changes.

International matters

The year begins with peaceful mottos and intentions accepted by the majority of the nations, willing to give peace and harmony an opportunity to flourish. However a handful of nations are still resisting the international governing bodies' regulations, creating a tense and insecure atmosphere, threatening world security and stability in the neighboring regions. No matter how much increase in spending to improve the nation's security measures, the situation is unlikely to be defeated without involving loss of countless human lives and untold sacrifices and suffering. 

Social civil unrests continue to spread among nations with governments that are reluctant to listen and accepting publics' demands for more openness or transparency.

Business

Redevelopment of cities, townships, and infrastructure service will be the main driving force for most nations to drive the economy out of recession or just maintain growth. 

Cross border trade will encounter new challenges where additional counter measures could be imposed to protect individual nations' interests and employment. However the human race does not ever seem to learn from history that such impositions could be counter-productive ultimately. Unless agreements are reached between the haves and have-not nations, where more meaningful balance of trades are in place to ensure continuous prosperity for all, the global economy could end-up in a more terrible outcome than in previous year. 

Just imagine all the nations are sailing on the same ship and if disharmony among the nations causes the ship to roll from side to side, the ship would eventually sink and all involved will suffer ultimately.

Weather and the environment

Drought conditions and increased insect infestations could destroy crops among Central America, South America and Central Asian regions, creating a severe shortage of food supplies globally; resulting in uncontrollable inflation to basic necessities. 

On the other hand, increased seasonal rainfalls could create flooding to low lying regions or inadequate water defense mechanisms, destroying homes and lives and causing massive disruption to rescue operations and businesses.

 Globally, the weather conditions will only become more aggressive or ferocious as long as the human race fails to adapt, or change the ways of living and it will continue to destroy the planets ecological system through negligence, continuous pollution and wastage of energy.

(In general)

HEALTH: Distress or unease of being over-weight and doing nothing to overcome the problem is likely to cause some anxiety, unconsciously creating a tense atmosphere either at work or at home. If one is really concerned about obesity, then one needs to take immediate corrective action with self-determination; hopefully some encouragement from loved ones or partner to overcome it. When certain tasks seem most difficult to achieve, it could turn out to be easier than originally envisaged and vice versa. Those suffering from the symptoms of hay fever or lung infection need to seek medical treatment promptly and stick to recommended food and drink regimes.

LUCK: Being blamed for things you neither did nor were responsible for is unfair. Instead of defending yourself, begin with an apology, however fictional. This lowers others' defenses enough that you discover the source of their dilemmas, as well as being even uncommunicative individuals talking about those issues enough to resolve them. Finally, putting these to rest gives you a welcome sense of relief and achievement.

MONEY: There are going to be up and down moments like a roller coaster when dealing with personal finances, where one is likely to foot excessive bills for loved ones, family members or close friends. The positive side is that one is capable of earning more than in the previous year, hopefully one will make plans to start saving for a rainy day in the future. Under normal circumstances, having increased commitments should automatically encourage an individual to change lifestyle priorities unless one chooses to live for today only and forget about tomorrow. Life is not always that fortunate for everybody and hopefully one will not have to learn the hard way when financial luck hits rock bottom.

ROMANCE: Someone close has been trying to match-make for those that have been single or divorced for some time. Maybe it is about time for one to move forward with their love life rather than continue to bear the rest of the burden of either raising the children or family members under their care. Getting involved with a married person is not a wise choice, especially when both parties are either married or attached to someone else. The consequence could be dire when such affairs were to be exposed ultimately. Parties involved would be seriously affected emotionally and possibly financially.


(Born in the year of 1936, 1948 1960, 1972, 1984)

1936 There is light at the end of the tunnel, especially for those that have striving to complete a mission relating to family harmony. One should not think of relaxing along the journey until one reaches the goal. Situations could become trickier toward the end, so do not let several significant temptations to distract concentration.

1948 Life is wonderful especially when one discovers how fortunate it is to have someone dear as a close companion to share and comfort in times of need and joy. Feeling more mellow with maturity, pondering about life often and deriving a satisfying feeling when one is still capable to carry out responsibilities to loved ones and family members.

1960 Still striving for a better career or business prospect and would prefer not to waste valuable time. Just do not neglect family life for they are equally important to loved ones. The future is filled with various challenges ahead and one has the opportunity to make a contribution back to society. Remember to maintain good health in order to face those challenges.

1972 Be well prepared for potential hectic schedules in the foreseeable future concerning family, career, business or educational progress. The situation will get progressively more intense from about the first quarter of the year. However do not become excited when confronting new challenges for parts you should welcome such a "new lease of life", looking forward to the adventures ahead. No matter what course of action decided, it is likely to lead an individual into a new chapter in life.

1984 Having fear or constant worries about certain due debts or mortgage payments are unlikely to resolve the situation. This does not mean that one can just ignore the whole situation and let it be. Obviously there are ways to overcome the situations – like seeking financial advice, reviewing financial priorities and perhaps searching for ways to make any money work harder.

(In general)

HEALTH: The year is starting with some excellent or exciting news for those that have been planning a new family or decided to have additional members to the family. For those that are receiving medical treatment, it is advised to exercise some patience and strictly adhere to the courses, otherwise it will be wasting the efforts of those who have been trying to nurse individuals back to good health. A change of scenery certainly helps an individual to improve the health dramatically and psychologically. For those heavy drinkers or smokers, perhaps it is about time to quit such habit that is detrimental to health and creating endless misery to family members or loved ones.

LUCK: You will probably still brooding over arguments involving finances or whether your efforts or ideas are being appreciated. While others are saying you should forget about it, such feelings do not just disappear on command. Actually you are right to think they need to be discussed. The issue may be a simple misunderstanding. However, the problem is more likely to be of differing values. While acknowledging these does not magically remedy the problems; it will result in heated exchanges that will then lead to a better understanding of everybody's views. This becomes increasing important when your attention turns form life's practicalities to its passions.

MONEY: The biggest challenge for the year is not the range of financial decisions you are facing, some of which involve intriguing ideas or offers. It is firmly informing those who are in a hurry that they will just have to wait until you are sure of what is what. After a series of experiences in which plans did not go as anticipated or desired and still turn out brilliantly, hopefully you will have realized that a departure from plans is not always a financial disaster. Perhaps you will take a deep breath and resist the temptation to try figuring out how to keep arrangements as they are. Consider yourself to be blessed with some lucky stars that are guiding you toward the right path.

ROMANCE: Just beware of escalation with Lovers' quarrel that may increase to a higher level involving loved ones, partner, family members, friends or colleagues. Situations will only become worse unless both parties are willing to calm down, come to their senses and discuss the issues amicably. Majority of the problem derides from personal pride and concern over personal feelings or needs. For single parents or those unattached, one could be preoccupied with various social activities and does not have immediate thoughts for establishing a new relationship at the moment. As long as one does not rush into it, and believing in faith strongly that destiny will take its own natural course, true lasting relationship could be found towards the end of the year.


(Born in the year of 1937, 1949 1961, 1973, 1985)

1937 The occasional stubbornness of the Ox type is likely to cause disharmony among family members and friendships. IF one does not control frequent outbursts, family relationships could be strained further. Remember that no one is perfect in this world; hence try not to let personal pride get in the way of others. Respect needs to be earned by respecting others first and it is not merely based on seniority.

1949 Usually you make plans in stages. But others consider even these as fixed. Make it clear that arrangements are still in transition, get others involved and you will be amazed how much you can accomplish by such request. Still you are concerned that problems will surface later.

1961 Not a good time to stay idle at this stage in life. Some might consider that one is facing a mid-life crisis or standing at a crossroads and undecided which direction to choose relating to family values, career or life in general. As long as one is still responsive, one should continue to lead a meaningful life ahead and worry less about the opinions of others.

1973 Career and relationship are the most problematic subjects for the year. Rushing things and not spending quality time to digest the issues will generate chaos. Seeking financial aid from friends or family members will temporarily lighten the burden during the early parts of the year. However do not let complicated relationships create heartaches and loss of concentration at work.

1985 Beware of sheer jealously that could cloud personal judgment, filling the head with hatred. Avoiding such negative thoughts requires sheer determination and awareness. Perhaps through learning, patience and understanding, one should see a wider picture of the event. Progress and opportunities will gradually open up ahead.





Tiger

Home PageTopYear Chart

(In general)

HEALTH: Beauty and elegance have been on the mind of the female Tiger type during the course of the year. Ensure to pay attention to other parts of physical needs; having a prolonged imbalanced diet pattern could develop a negative consequence at a later stage. For the male Tiger type, the needs to abstain from strenuous activities or excessive alcohol consumption take priority over other personal affairs. Do not continue to ignore warnings by the professionals. Stress related to work or family matters could cause an individual to develop hypertension or stroke, especially for those that are overweight.

LUCK: You do not usually need to be encouraged to take the initiative. However there are several situations in which you have not spotted the potential for change or improvement; so you are not responding to even straightforward opportunities. Because the year is about exploration and you will be involved in learning about new ideas, people or places that decisions will be the last thing on you mind. Take advantage of this as well as activities and achievements out in the world; force you to alter existing arrangements. Still this is a process that initially is more about discovery than about committing. It would not be until the third quarter of the year that you will recognize the full potential of these concepts and be prepared to leave certain familiar elements of the past behind.

MONEY: You blend a powerful variety of practicality with an amazingly intuitive nature. During the past year, you have had to combine the two, often in complex and challenging situations. The results have been quite impressive, to the extent that you are prepared for the New Year's exciting if unexpected developments. The biggest challenge is that the year's first half moves at an amazingly fast pace, you will have little time to refine what you have done or investigate events that could mean completely reorganizing your working life or various continuing obligations. You are soon confident about things moving so swiftly which is fortunate, because by mid-year, you will be deciding about new alliances with little time for reflection, while the potential will be huge, you will be short of facts and will have to trust your intuition. With the actual circumstances in question reshaping themselves frequently and your confidence growing, you could soon worry less and benefit in amazing ways.

ROMANCE: Acknowledging that certain incredibly promising relationship arrangements are not what they seemed is disheartening, but the ground on which they are based is changing swiftly throughout the year. This means the next likely situation encountered could be very different from the previous. This also involves having to relinquish certain career plans you worked hard to achieve. Happily those industrious efforts are not totally in vain, for you will eventually discover the outcome is far more appropriate than you imagined or dreamed.


(Born in the year of 1938, 1950 1962, 1974, 1986)

1938 Ordinarily you would ignore the provocative chat of certain individuals, but somehow they are getting under your skin. However you should try to evaluate the circumstances before jumping to conclusions, avoiding embarrassing yourself in front of them. People can make mistakes but try not to turn them into a negative habit.

1950 One has wasted some valuable time and letting a career opportunity slip away through one's fingers. Avoid neglecting career or business opportunities for the sake of fun, which could result in a negative financial impact. Hence it is still never too late to make amends and get back on the right track again.

1962 Family members' welfare may become your first priority in respect to personal career or business ventures. You may have been warned by others to pay some attention to your health. The year is going to be significantly tough, so try to ensure the situation is within reasonable orderly manner. Do not expect others to shoulder your burdens.

1974 The thought of walking down the aisle for the second time is likely to be one of the major events for the year. Others are considering a career move or venturing into a partnership business with several close colleagues. No matter what the decisions, always be prepared and have a contingency plan if things do not work out. However do not give up the challenge easily without researching into the background.

1986 Friendship or family relationships could be a risk during the course of the year. There are situations where one will be left with restricted choices and it is going to be tough to find the right answers. Voicing honest opinions could create a shock to those who least expect, and perhaps it could be the best way forward. Have no fear as long as one has no ill intentions against others. Since this is a complicated society and there are no definite ways of pleasing each and every individual. Learn and live to learn.

(In General)

HEALTH: You seem not be having much success in finding a solution out of complicated medical health situation that involve practical or financial matters and affecting those closest at home or at work. Persevere, but acknowledge that this will take time and instead of struggling, why not adopt a slower pace and focus on discussing options. This will not only prove informative, it will also foster equally rewarding discussions with the medical professionals of these dilemmas.

LUCK: The tough or tricky situations confronting you may not seem like an opportunity to clear clutter from your personal life style and thinking, but they are. Once you have acknowledged that certain arrangements simply are not working effectively, eliminate them and focus on more promising types. However this thing require some time and exercising or maintaining humble patience is essential. When situations ultimately turn around in your favor, you will realize just how astonishing those developments could be. Your life could change for the better.

MONEY: Obviously, encountering financial setbacks in arrangements you worked hard to organize is disappointing. Events during the first half of the year bring to mind mottos about things being darkest before the dawn. Make only the smallest effort and you will get sudden and surprisingly positive responses and from entirely unexpected quarters. Things may not go as planned, but by mid-year, you will recognize that what are new and unanticipated turns out much better financially. Ultimately you can fulfill parts of your dreams for the year.

ROMANCE: There is a significant difference between things not being in your control, which is the case and the need to worry. No doubt, existing relationships are in a bit of disarray and plans for the future are not that clear either. However this chaos is typical of cycles of far-reaching transformation, which is exactly what you are experiencing. The likelihood is you would not know exactly where these are heading or what or who is involved until the middle of the year. Knowing that this is merely the beginning of a series of life changing developments, you should ensure that any decisions are flexible enough to change as circumstances evolve and soon you will start on the right foot again.


(Born in the year of 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987)

1939 Various thoughts concerning others' future have been hovering around for a while and feeling confused over the issues. Not discussing them with close friends or loved ones is not helping either. Hence this is not the appropriate time to have such "ideal thoughts". Whenever possible, try discussing certain of the issues openly and hopefully the answer will be discovered during such discussion.

1951 Happy go-lucky types are still going strong with their hobbies and not wishing to slow down at all. However one should periodically take a rest in order to let certain parts of the physical body repair some of the damages. It is crucial to heed some of the doctor's advice before it becomes acute. Just remember having a clean bill of health is priceless.

1963 Managing to make or achieve certain progress with career or business, despite having to face challenging hurdles before reaching the ultimate goal requires sheer determination and continuous supports from loved ones. No matter how tricky the situation seems ahead, try tackling the situation with great diplomacy together with good public relationship that would certainly be of great help.

1975 Dwelling over recent misfortunate incidents is not going to make things better personally and involving loved ones. It may be easier to accept the facts that human's nature cannot change the past and perhaps it would be better to leave it behind but not necessarily forgetting it. For whatever happens, there is a logical reason or reasons behind it.

1987 Feeling frustrated at times, when one did not manage to acquire certain things that are within reach. Just keep trying harder and striving ahead for there will always be umpteen opportunities on the horizon, locally or globally. If possible, try analyzing in depth where things might have gone astray and remind yourself to avoid making similar mistakes.

(In General)

HEALTH: Respecting and treating the body like a holy place of worship throughout the year, irrespective of the nature of profession, should be given a priority. During the year, you could be likely facing numerous strenuous or challenging tasks that require concentration and attention, consuming enormous effort and energy. Hence it is prudent to maintain a healthy state of physical body and mind-set. Moral support and encouragement from loved ones would help to boost your well-being.

LUCK: You are capable of remarkable patience when it comes to tension with those you care about most. Then you either obsess about what they might be thinking or eventually just give up and ask. Based on the complex state of affairs you are dealing with, questions are not an option. The problem is not you; it is those who are maneuvering with the ruthlessness of championship chess players. Keep your nerve which is not going to be easy. However you make it crystal clear to troublemakers that you are not to be trifled with and get away easily. Ultimately you will achieve your goals and progress.

MONEY: You dislike making financial changes for the sake of it. Yet, bizarrely, that is exactly what you are doing. In fact you are responding to instincts that say it is time to begin undoing various financial or business arrangements, some long-standing, in preparation for changes as sudden as they will be dramatic. Being observant, you are already conscious that certain once stable arrangements are shifting and sense this cycle is just beginning. The year's events will ultimately prove you right.

ROMANCE: The year could bring personal issues and those involving close relationships - at home or at work to a head, then things should gradually calm down. You could be faced with various demanding situations compounded with tricky arrangements (unknown to you), they are likely to stay for a while, and you will require a more thoughtful strategy. Bearing this in mind, say the minimum and listen to a lot. What you learn and discover about the circumstances you are facing and about others will surprise you.


(Born in the year of 1940, 1952 1964, 1976, 1988)

1940 Do not continue to ignore as if there is nothing wrong with personal health and or family related issues. It would be simpler to deal with each of these issues honestly and openly, so that others do understand and perhaps share the burden. However do not expect to reach an amicable solution promptly.

1952 The year's events will test your willpower. An individual you care about or perhaps a worthy organization, wants something from you. Probably money but it could be time, your contacts or support. Yet you cannot help but feel suspicious. There is too much maneuvering in the background and what you are hearing seems like half-truths. The real challenge is not discovering the facts; they will come out eventually. It is avoiding being cornered into succumbing to their plans for you. You have better things to fry than get involved in such dramas and tedious practical obligations just went to the top of your agenda for the year.

1964 What is said to your face can be argued or dismissed. However words spoken behind your back leave you with few options. Others can deny they said anything or pretend to be allies, when in fact it is the opposite. Frustrating as this is, what goes around will ultimately come around superbly.

1976 Certain individuals were astonishingly arrogant, making it clear they knew how to handle your life better than you. Furious, you have suppressed your instincts and are saying nothing. That would be wise. However circumstances will take a positive twist and nothing you could have done will equal destiny's plan.

1988 The year is about changes in existing situations and a fresh perspective on life. Consequently, despite certain individuals' demands, this is hardly the moment to make complex plans. Calm others by exploring various options, yet committing to no one. What you learn will come in handy when sudden developments require you to think and act swiftly.

(In General)

HEALTH: If you are feeling vulnerable, it is no surprise, for you are beginning a new plan of health treatment. Rather than respond immediately, do something out of character - take it gradually. There are changes and then there is what you are experiencing, which is a revolution that is emerging from within. Perhaps the most significant trend is inner inspiration - for being happy within. Some believe happiness appears magically. Bizarrely, many have no idea how to recognize contentment, much less how to achieve it. Thus yoga and meditation are becoming more accessible. When thinking is inspired and achieving happiness is the primary objective in life's priorities and life and health itself are transformed.

LUCK: While you like being in control, the cycle that began when somewhat lucky omen has considerably heighten those traits, mostly to your benefit, but occasionally not. When you commit to a plan, you first think out every option then having decided what is best, micromanage each stage. Thus far, that has led to you achieving your goals. For the year's first half, you can expect thrilling if completely unanticipated, ideas, offers and developments. These could alter your existing trajectory or introduce an activity about which you feel passionate, in turn creating a serious conflict. Still, at least explore what has arisen and be patient.

MONEY: If you are conscious of having to reorganize elements of your daily routine or working life, then events that substantially alter them and there are likely to be several, should not worry you in the least. Such process lasts until the midyear and it is not about a single decision or change. With circumstances around you shifting, you will need to make continual adjustments. The trick is to discuss each, to obtain as much information and as many views as possible. Aim high if ever there was a period of pursuing long dreamt of goals.

ROMANCE: It is not that you have been untruthful so much as sidestepping issues that will reflect badly on others. Usually this tactic works and things resolve themselves but a few are now reaching a critical stage. It is the same with personal matters or relationship. Honesty and frank discussion would be the way forward in seeking a solution in order to salvage a marriage or relationship. Recognize your weakness or admit your faults, and seek help if necessary but do not let personal pride be the stumbling block. No matter what or how bad the situation could be, as long as you believe the partnership or relationship is worth saving and treasuring, then you should try your utmost best to put the wrongs right and seek forgiveness. Something, which seems effortless but it takes enormous courage in admitting.


(Born in the year of 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977,1989)

1941 When you organized certain plans with others, things seemed straightforward. Now they are not, which is an increasing source of tension. Tempting as it is to keep plans afloat with sheer enthusiasm, you are urged to pause and assess your position before you do anything. You might decide a rethink is wise.

1953 Once you felt that you had to be involved in all disputes, whatever their nature or origin. Since then you have realized others' battles are best left to them, especially now when you have so many tasks and goals to focus on. Still what arises will be seductive enough that before you know it, you could find that you are way too involved. If so, extricate yourself and do so fast.

1965 Hopefully by now you have discovered that you put others' needs ahead of yours and often sacrifice your own objectives; you are giving more than you are getting back. Beware that you will be encouraged to resurrect certain of those ventures. Do not; instead focus on new individuals and activities coming your way. What they lead to will quite simply transform your life.

1977 Few signs have a better understanding of the importance of patience. Yet you are under pressure from certain individuals or organizations to move more swiftly than is wise. Either ignore them or explain that even simple plans are unlikely to last long. Besides, you have some intriguing options to explore before you commit to anything.

1989 Usually, your powerful intuition is an asset. You are already sensing the profound shift in the wider world and in your own self-esteem that will be triggered by others' interference. Make plans based on your instincts, but when it comes to discussions, stick with the traditional, old less visionary perspective on life at the least.

(In General)

HEALTH: It is vital to make additional efforts in ensuring personal or physical Health are in the best condition when facing demanding challenges or survival. If one were to lose the fighting spirit without even trying in the first instance, loved ones or friends will continue to suffer or grieve for such failure. One needs to consider the bigger picture before thinking of giving up the challenge. One should be blessed for having such enormous support and love around and be grateful or cheerful about it. Perhaps as a consolation, maybe one should consider those that are less fortunate than you.

LUCK: It could be said you will be going through a cycle of personal reassessment during this Dragon's Year. This kick-started a period during which you have been forced to alter how you think and express yourself, simply to get certain tasks, professional or otherwise, accomplished. No doubt it was annoying initially; you have rather enjoyed honing your abilities. Certain events challenge your habitual views and beliefs, often via sudden shake-ups. Worrying as this sounds, it takes something this intense to get things moving. Changes in your working life or various obligations may be enforced, but are ultimately illuminating.

MONEY: Your year divides neatly into two parts. During the first half, you do and see more and become more organized in the pursuit of goals than you could have conceived possible in the past. Minimal efforts will achieve maximum results at work, in finance and especially when starting new endeavors. True, you must go along with others' demands, more than you would like. This could lead to tensions midyear and battles with authority. In every case, the lesson is you can achieve your objectives or have things your way but not both. However the year will create a foundation for both achievements and prosperity that you are previously regarded as beyond your reach. You will soon recognize it is not.

ROMANCE: For those seeking for new love or relationship, one should be prepared to allow a longer period and perhaps be prepared to travel beyond your homeland. Avoid rushing into a relationship, which is likely to cause heartache, not to mention emotional distress and finance. For those not married yet, it is about time one takes up the courage to engage in a long-term commitment. In life, there will always be a first time for every occasion and settling down is perhaps one of them. For those that have been married less than ten years, their relationship is being put to the test during the year.


(Born in the year of 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990)

1942 Uncomfortable as certain revelations may be, they are not your fault. Which means you need only do what you can to deal with these situations, then back off and leave the rest to those responsible. However you will have errors of your own to contend with and it will be your job to sort these out.

1954 Having already dealt with a round of changes as unsettling as they were hoping things would calm down. They would not. However the events currently shaking things up are part of a larger more profitable pattern of changes now reshaping others' life. This means they will be able to join you in the pursuits you are exploring.

1966 Once you accept the fact that you simply cannot control the events currently reshaping your life, instead of battling them, you should go with the flow. True, initially this runs counter to your nature, but you soon realize that what is least expected leads to wonderful, if entirely unexpected opportunities. Explore everything with the knowledge that each encounter will enrich you in some way.

1978 Be cautious of seemingly easy-going conversations. Certain individuals are wound up. Enough so that either an innocent comment could set them off or worse, they will manipulate your words for their own purposes, then if you cannot avoid them, stick to neutral topics until the mood improves.

1990 Your patience is being tested by family or loved ones. They seem determined to be aggravating. They are doing what they think is best for everybody, but going about it in a perverse manner. Infuriating as their actions are, you cannot change them. However you can change how you react to them and it will transform your relationship.

(In General)

HEALTH: Do watch out for consumption of food and drinks that are not compatible to your digestive condition. Otherwise, one is likely to pile on extra weight during the course of the year especially for those who lost control over consumption of the diets. The year is filled with engagements, or ceremonies, where food and drink are unavoidable. Probably one is aware of the obesity situations, spreading throughout developed and developing nations. Beware of stress from work or family matters that could cause an individual to develop hypertension or stroke.

LUCK: When it comes to achieving life's goals, professional, and business or otherwise, you are notably talented as being in the right place at the right time. This phenomenal timing is mostly due to your fundamental inquisitiveness about what is taking place and those involved. Capitalizing on this is another matter, as history bears out. Consequently, the current global economic emphasis on the financial and practical side of events continues this year, which is well timed. No doubt occasionally dwelling on such matters has been dull, but you are doing the ground work for far more exciting and possibly life-changing - activities that begin midyear. Knowing that, merely regard those burdensome tasks and boring activities as an investment in your future.

MONEY: Success and happiness is about living well in the present and knowing there is the wherewithal to maintain that lifestyle in the future.
