in April are a possibility. Clearly the thing to do is to have those organs
removed and put back in next year; that way any accident that befalls
you will not cause them grief. Water Pigs are likely to have a busy year
and attention to diet and exercise are a must.
Wealth
this year should see a steady increase in wealth. Indeed, you should end
up like the top dog with a brand new bone. Earth Dogs are known for
making opportunities out of rejection - after all, if its good for Jack Ma,
its good for you.

Wealth Laugh, my friends, and without blame, lightly quit what lightly
came - especially if it is someone elses. Nonetheless, for you Rat, it's
currents, rats and sinking ships and all of that. Youd want to be out of
there pretty quickly. How quickly? As fast as a rat up a drainpipe!
Love Be careful what you wish for Rat. The charts are suggesting that the
months of May, July, September and next January may bring just the sort
of soft cheese you might easily drown in. The best technique to follow
this year will be to place yourself in the path of people trying to leave - if
you're lucky, they may be taken to the same hospital.
Career Remember, the rat race didnt choose you, you chose . . . who
says you cant spend charm and get ahead? Water Rats could rely on
their skills in coming up with ideas - those related to removing your boss
need to be creative and untraceable. The stars are out this year - some
say yes, some say maybe.
Health As strong as an ox is the goal, but the charts are suggesting

that you will need time for rumination, so give that cud some more
consideration. Given enough sleep, those big doe-eyes will sparkle. Fire

eating the best lucerne all year. Wood Oxen need to watch the budget,
but only if this entails their own money.
Love Love is in the air, and youll be mooing in delight, no need to be
a cow about it though. It's looking to be an especially good year for
swatting away in recent years. Given your celebrated capacity to deal

alternative. For some reason water is dangerous this year, so, keep those

investment. Clearly Macau-bound ferries are to be avoided - and no,
taking the helicopter isn't going to keep you out of the hotpot.
Love We love that you go about things with a positive and determined

But the Pig and the Rabbit are good enough pals that accommodation can be made.
Prayers and invocations to wealth, engagements and transactions, openings and
agreements are all smiled upon by the gentle Goat; earthworks and construction
are also good. On the other side of the ledger, marriages and fermenting alcohol are
bad, much worse if done together, and litigation, lawsuits and mean-spirited folk may
outbursts - but secret pals, the Horse and Goat in the year and hour pillars, and the Pig
and Tiger from the other two pillars, are working behind the scenes. The stage is set . . .
