Rat (Ranked: 10)

1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020

Auspicious Direction(s): Southeast, Southwest
Auspicious Number(s): 5, 6, 7, 8
Benefactor Sign(s): Dragon, Monkey

Luck ★★★☆☆
This year, luck improves slightly but challenges remain, so repair and adjust as you go. When difficulties arise, you will receive timely support. Still, certain situations may drain your resources and energy, so manage your efforts wisely. Though the year feels uneventful, it’s a crucial period of transition.

Wealth ★★☆☆☆
Protect your wealth rather than chase new gains. Unexpected expenses may arise, so keep an emergency fund ready. Emotional spending can tempt you, so set clear financial boundaries. Review your finances for stable cash flow and cut waste. Stay cautious to avoid major losses.

Relationship ★★★☆☆
Handle relationships with care this year. Minor issues can stir emotions and spark misunderstandings, so don’t over-analyse the intentions of others. Show empathy, and support will come. Singles should watch out for fleeting flings while couples should avoid rehashing the past, so relationships stay stable.

Career ★★☆☆☆
With a muted career outlook this year, take a conservative approach amid rapid changes. Build strength before moving and always have a backup plan. Mind the details at work, and entrepreneurs should keep their businesses manageable in scale to manage risk. Patience will be tested, so stay adaptable.  

Health ★★☆☆☆
Be extra careful about your health this year — lower immunity, recurring issues, or poor sleep can take a toll if left unaddressed. Watch for inflamed cuts, digestive issues and fatigue. Reduce late nights, get fresh air, and eat well. Regular check-ups catch small issues early.

Ox (Ranked: 12)

Auspicious Direction(s): Northwest
Auspicious Number(s): 9, 0
Benefactor Sign(s): Pig

Luck ★★☆☆☆
This is a year to turn inward and reset your priorities. Clashing with the Grand Duke brings more uncertainty and obstacles, so reckless persistence won’t serve you. Learn when to let go, and trade stability for growth. The clearer you are on what matters, the lower your risk.   

Wealth ★★☆☆☆
Beware of unnecessary spending this year, as poor decisions can lead to avoidable losses. However, some expenses, like relationship repairs, emergencies and insurance, will prove necessary. Stay calm financially, keep cash flow smooth, and avoid investing more out of frustration.

Relationship ★★☆☆☆
Your words or actions may be easily misinterpreted this year, with disputes lurking beneath the surface. Given your direct nature, it’s safer to say less and keep records than argue your case. Singles should focus on self-growth and let romance unfold naturally; those in relationships should show patience and tolerance.

Career ★★☆☆☆
Policy shifts and wavering decisions may affect your career, and oversights in documents could cause trouble, so execute with care. Stay calm and keep options open rather than confront conflict head-on. Avoid blindly following orders or reckless expansion. Focus on your role and build expertise to navigate smoothly.

Health ★☆☆☆☆
​Health should be your top priority this year, so build stronger health awareness. Stress and fatigue may lead to physical issues, so maintain a routine and avoid risky activities. Spending on health is worthwhile. Care for yourself first, and you’ll have the energy to support others.

Step up boldly while protecting yourself, then seize opportunities strategically. Mind your safety when out and about.

Singles may attract suitors but must stay discerning; couples should communicate openly to avoid misunderstandings.

Career ★★★★☆
Bold direction and clear ownership make this a year of career potential. New roles may place you in more decisive positions, which will be both a challenge and a breakthrough. Face obstacles head-on.

Benefactor Sign(s): Tiger, Monkey

Luck ★★★★⯪
Your luck is on the rise this year, with fortune and strength on your side. Career, wealth and personal life should all see smooth progress. Stay humble even as things go well, and the better it goes, the more carefully you should tread. Prosperity will follow in due course.

Your main income stays stable while side earnings grow, thanks to new opportunities or support from benefactors. Long-term planning can accelerate your wealth this year. Document financial dealings clearly and avoid trusting others blindly. Stay principled and avoid complacency to keep wealth flowing.

Relationship ★★★★☆
Strong benefactor luck brings connections with resource-rich people, benefiting your career and wealth. Your reserved nature may create distance, so be proactive in relationships to avoid misunderstandings.

Career growth is stable this year, with opportunities for regional expansion or entry into new markets. Make the most of your team to scale faster. Whether employed or running a business, pay close attention to documents and procedures, as minor oversights could derail major progress.

Health ★★★★★
You’ll largely overcome health issues and sidestep danger this year. While feeling energetic, heavier responsibilities may lead to unnoticed overexertion, so manage stress and avoid staying tense for too long. Prioritise digestive health with   regular meals. Stay steady, and you’ll be ready to seize the opportunities ahead.

Snake (Ranked: 9)

1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013, 2025

Auspicious Number(s): 3, 4, 7, 8
Benefactor Sign(s): Horse, Monkey

Luck ★★★☆☆
Luck is moderate this year, but your direction grows clearer. Take the initiative to seek opportunities. Success in career and learning is within reach with effort, but emotional and relationship pressures need careful handling. Keep learning to find where you truly fit.

Wealth ★★★☆☆
Main income stays stable, but don’t count on windfalls. Travel-related work or overseas opportunities may bring better returns. Stay rational this year, avoid chasing quick money, spend wisely and save for a rainy day. For loans or partnerships, ask questions, and don’t let kindness compromise your finances.

Relationship ★★☆☆☆
You tend to hide your true thoughts, calm on the surface but conflicted inside amid complex situations, so express yourself a bit more this year to avoid misunderstandings. Singles should focus on their own matters; couples should avoid being emotional and communicate patiently instead.

Career ★★★★☆
This is a strong year for promotion, exams and professional recognition. Pursue overseas postings, further training or cross-industry moves, and consistent effort will bring recognition. But a quick temper can hold you back, so in key moments, slow down and stay calm to let your hard work pay off.

Health ★★☆☆☆
Recurring minor health issues need attention this year. A hectic schedule can disrupt rest, so reset when needed. Avoid hospital visits or intense environments that drain you. Keep up with check-ups and moderate exercise. True productivity isn’t filling every moment but sustaining your energy.

Horse (Ranked: 3)

1954, 1966, 1978, 2002, 2014, 2026

Auspicious Direction(s): Northeast
Auspicious Number(s): 1, 2
Benefactor Sign(s): Tiger

Luck ★★★★⯪​
​Fortune rebounds this year, marking a year to regain momentum. Career and finances rise together, and taking action brings results. Your past strengths prove invaluable. Don’t overexert yourself while chasing success. Pace yourself, advance steadily and you’ll stand out from the competition.

Wealth ★★★★★
A favourable year for promotions, raises and higher income. Business owners may expand their base and boost profit. Windfall opportunities arise, but avoid chasing quick gains. Manage resources wisely to strengthen your financial foundation and invest in skills and efficiency will yield returns beyond money.

Relationship ★★★★☆

Career ★★★★★
Career momentum surges this year, with breakthroughs in role and expertise. Clear goals will quickly set you apart. Employees may take on key projects, while entrepreneurs can upgrade their business models. Prospects abound, but haste makes waste, so double-check details to maximise your advantages.

Health ★★★☆☆
Busy schedules may bring fatigue, or recurring health issues this year, though timely support helps guide your recovery. Keep regular meals and rest and address discomfort early rather than push through. As life improves, manage your energy so health becomes an asset, not an obstacle.

Goat (Ranked: 11)

Auspicious Direction(s): South, Northwest
Auspicious Number(s): 3, 4, 9, 0
Benefactor Sign(s): Horse, Pig

Luck is weak with the Grand Duke overhead, bringing disruption and pressure. Despite the uncertainty, your resilience will carry you through, though fluctuating emotions can drain you. Stay grounded and adjust your mindset or visit a place of worship to restore inner calm.

Wealth ★★☆☆☆
Expenses may rise while income feels unstable this year. Focus on steady, honest earnings and investing cautiously as windfall luck is weak. Lethargy or low moods may sap your drive, so watch for procrastination. Prioritise controlling spending; building security matters more than chasing quick gains.

Relationship ★★☆☆☆
This year, misunderstandings may create distance. You long to be understood, yet often hide your feelings, seeming aloof. Instead of staying silent, speak up to strengthen connections. Singles may feel their emotions stirred; couples should avoid silent gaps that risk cracks in the relationship.

Career ★★☆☆☆
Progress may feel slow and challenging this year. Check your work thoroughly to avoid errors or accidents caused by oversight. Employees should avoid risky career moves, while business owners should pause expansion. Weigh decisions carefully this year to prevent missteps.

Benefactor Sign(s): Dragon, Monkey

Luck ★★★★☆

​Health ★★★★☆
Your health stays generally good this year but watch your routine and stress levels. Exercise regularly, avoid late nights and keep a healthy diet. Stay alert and secure your belongings when out or travelling. Talking things out and relaxing can ease hidden stress before it snowballs. 

Rooster (Ranked: 7)

1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017

Auspicious Number(s): 5, 6, 7, 8
Benefactor Sign(s): Dragon, Monkey

Luck ★★★⯪☆

Wealth luck stays moderate this year, with stable income but few windfalls. Protect what you have rather than chase quick wins. Judgement may be clouded, so double-check documents and loans. Budget wisely and avoid greed and risky moves to stay on track.

Relationship ★★★☆☆
It’s a year to tighten your circle, preserving what matters over adding connections. Sensitivity to others’ words may risk distance. Your candour can seem blunt, so leave room for flexibility and skip right-versus-wrong debates. Singles face limited opportunities; couples should avoid silent wars or rehashing the past.

Career ★★★★☆
Work progresses smoothly this year, showcasing your strengths in planning, analysis or management. Benefactors may step in at key moments too. Don’t overlook rules or procedures and keep contracts and dealings well documented. Attention to detail will help you deliver strong results.

Health ★★★☆☆
Being responsible is good, but don’t let it drain you, so slow down this year. Watch over elderly family members’ health and avoid overwork or bottled-up emotions. Avoiding late nights is the best care for your body. Try to skip weddings or funerals and stay alert when out.

Watch for delays, emotional swings and tangled ties. Keep calm and have a backup plan, ready to push or pull back to conserve energy for the year ahead.

Wealth ★★★☆☆
Wealth luck is moderate, with little room for explosive growth. Avoid high-risk investments, especially guaranteeing loans for others. Keep money matters clear-cut despite your generous nature. A steady financial approach works best this year, and living within your means will keep you secure.

Relationship ★★★★☆
Good social luck brings positive encounters this year, especially with supportive female benefactors. But you may find yourself entangled emotionally, reluctant to let go. Clarity matters more than holding on. Singles should observe more, overthink less; couples should talk openly rather than guess.

Career ★★★☆☆
Avoid frequent direction changes this year, whether in business or employment. Expect repeated processes or blurred responsibilities that test your patience. While you’re responsible, you may unconsciously take on others’ pressure. Clarify roles and negotiate flexibly to avoid being implicated in workplace disputes.

Health ★★★☆☆
You may feel restless this year, especially under stress, so pay close attention to your mood and sleep quality. If social activities drain you, step back to preserve your energy. Regular exercise and calming routines like yoga or meditation can help restore balance.

Career ★★★★★
With strong support behind you, this is a good year to explore higher positions or a more promising field. Business owners should consolidate gains and refine processes, while employees can boldly explore new areas. Double-check contracts to avoid giving others leverage; success often hinges on the details.
