**************************************************************************

The Rat
Your charm, charisma and leadership will continue to open doors in 2008, as it has in the past years. People look up to you, don't let them down. An opportunity in business will present itself this year. Take it. This will reward you many times over. However, this opportunity will not manifest itself through the traditional channels. The Rat must have his or her eyes and ears alert. Keep one's mind open to new ideas, for they shall be fruitful in the future.

Romantically, the Rat must work to rekindle his or her relationships with loved ones. Your innate character and personality always causes you to neglect this area of life. This year especially you must strive to continue to make these relationships work. If you don't all the money in the world will not make you whole.

One last note. This being the year of the Rat, good luck shall bless you...if you let it. The Rat has always had the tendency to "screw up a good thing." So lay back, flow with life around you. Don't try to impose your will on everything you touch. If you allow yourself to relax, a fortunate Rat you shall be.



The Ox
The Ox is a stalworth of fierce determination and willpower. This will be employed to the fullest in 2008. Many projects will be started and many will be completed in the following years. These will be from (in general) the house and one's place of employment. The Ox shall be prepared for many long arduous days followed by the eventual collapsing from energies spent.

Do not be discouraged Mr. Ox!! You shall be rewarded for your sweat!! Good fortune will cast it's friendly eye upon you! People will take notice of your hard work, and reward you thusly, so do not be discouraged!!

However (there is always a however!) try not to overwork one's self. Do not neglect your family for promotion. One drawback to the Ox's personality is his (or her) inability to keep all parts of life in balance. Keep constant tabs from one's spouse or significant other, so they may not feel neglected. If advice is followed this shall be a banner year for the Ox.



The Tiger
The Tiger's gusto, bravado and drama shall be on full display in 2008. For better or worse you shall be the center of attention, particularly at your place of employment. My advice is to be careful you Tigers. The limelight is an intoxicating place to inhabit, but can quickly turn to bright in a hurry. Once you have fallen out of favor with coworkers, spouses and family, it is a difficult journey to redeem yourself.

Be careful, keep a balance. It is difficult for the Tiger to not be the center of attention, the center of the universe. But a little humility, a little levity can go a long way with one's personal relationships. Try to keep your ego tamed this year. If you keep things in check, I say an 7 out of 10 on the happiness scale awaits you in 2008. However, if you allow that Tiger go unchecked, well...it'll be a long year. Watchout!!



The Rabbit
The Rabbit's talents of diplomacy and politics shall be called upon in 2008. You will be asked to resolve many disagreements throughout the year. Siblings and loved ones will ask your council and advice in areas of unresolved conflict, particularly of money and interpersonal relationships.

You will happily oblige and in doing so, will act as the glue that keeps the family together, centered and happy. Rabbits take an innate pleasure in acting as the medium between people. But you shall also be looked upon favorably among family and friends. And, in doing so, you will occupy a seat of honor and respect with those around you.

All in all the Rabbit shall have a happy, fulfilling and contented year. A perfect 10!!



The Dragon

The luckiest and most envied of the Chinese Zodiac Signs, you will have much good fortune in 2008.

Your energy and magnetism will draw people toward you. You will have many happy social gatherings and events to attend this year. For single Dragons, you will have bountiful opportunities to find a "significant other." Essentially, you will have your pick of mates in 2008. My suggestion is to try to find someone who compliments your personality and character.

These "opportunities" may prove a problem to the partnered and married of the Dragons this year. The thought of wandering eyes may present itself to you. My advice is to quell this before you act upon your urges. This path never never leads to anything good in the long run.

Try to rekindle your long term relationships with loved ones instead, this year. For it is in this area that you will find true happiness and joy. And, once a solid foundation is layed, it is much easier to accept the luck and fortune that follows the Dragon.

Financially, this year shall be like most others for the Dragon. You will always have just the correct amount of resources needed in your life. Do not worry if hardship appears on the horizon. For it shall take care if itself. Remember you are a part of the most fortunate of the Chinese Zodiac Animal Signs and ladyluck will always appear to pull you out of difficult situations. You shall be blessed with an above average year in 2008.



The Snake
One of the most intelligent of the Chinese Astrology Signs, you will be challenged this year. But don't be discouraged! Read on!! Snakes love a challenge, you excell when competition arises. Is is here that you shine brightest!!

And shine you shall!! For 2008 will bring challenge on an epic proportion. Never before in your life will you be given so many puzzles to solve. So many hurdles to overcome.

Starting at work or place of employment bosses and higher ups will test your skill and resolve by issuing many projects with short deadlines. But do not be discouraged!! If completed on time and to your highest of standards many rewards shall follow. Keep your eye on the ball and good fortune shall befall you. You are on the fast track!! Don't let off the petal!!

These tests shall drain your energies at home. Loved ones, partners and spouses shall become discouraged by your absence and seemingly absent-mindedness. Try as you will, spats and arguments shall ensue. My advice is hold on!! Once tested and passed by your employers, promotions shall follow and everything shall settle down on all fronts. A strong year awaits you, but with a rainbow at the end!! Prepare for a wild ride.



The Horse
One of the most successful of the Chinese Zodiac Signs, this year will be very rewarding for the Horse. Opportunities a plenty will crop up throughout the year. To the average person they may not seem very productive or popular, but to the Horse, you can see the inherent value of these situations presented. The Horse has the innate ability to look at life from a different angle, from "outside the box." You will be financially rewarded by your hard work, insight and determination. A perfect 10 year awaits you!!



The Sheep
The Sheep is considered the most artistic of the Chinese Zodiac Signs. This year you will seek fulfillment within your private life. A more relaxed and introspective lifestyle will allow a reflection of habits you may have formed in the past. Reviewing these habits you will be better able to discern the positive and negatives of your lifestyle. Through meditation and a deeper understanding into yourself, you will be able to drop these poor habits in your life and thusly a better more well rounded, centered and happy person shall be born. Through the balancing of your yin and yang as well as your strong elements, you will be more at peace with yourself and those around you. This truly is a year of unparalleled growth for the Sheep. Be ready for much soul-searching, for the answers to your life will be presented in 2008!!



The Monkey
The Monkey has always been known as the joker of the Chinese Zodiac Animal Signs. You absolutely love to antagonize the people around, whether at home or at work, everyone has to keep an eye on you. However, know when it is time to stop. Everyone likes a prankster in their lives from time to time, but go overboard and you may be on the outs with the important people in your life. This is especially true this year, as some of your "targets" may have had enough of your antics and take revenge on you. My advice is try to reign in your complusions a little.



The Rooster
Good luck and much fortune shall befall the Rooster in 2008. Your hard work and positive outlook on life shall be rewarded with many new friends, much happiness and general good feelings!! Cherish this time, it will bring warm memories later in life. This is the year you will reflect on later in life, as the year you reviewed bad habits and poor decisions and replaced them with a more relaxed, positive outlook. An uplifted person you shall become. Loved ones and acquaintance's alike shall seek your company, so they can bask in your energy. This truly shall be an uplifting year for the Rooster



The Dog
The Dog shall be blessed with many new friends and acquaintances in 2008. At your place of employment, people will seek out your council in important matters of life in general. You are wise in these areas and will freely give your advice.

Good relationships shall continue with loved ones and new friendships will commence with people whom you may not have held in high regard in the past. However, for this to happen the Dog must keep an open mind to new relationships. If this advice if followed this shall be a rewarding year for the Dog.



The Pig
And last but certainly not least is the loyal Pig. You know many many people who call you their friends. You are looked upon as a rock of stability among your peers and will continue to be seen as such in 2008. Your advice is always asked of, and well taken. People heed your warnings if you feel they are traveling down the incorrect path in life.

That being said, choose speech and actions carefully, especially in 2008. A passing compliment or criticism given may seem as just a moment in time to you. However to the appointee, this will be taken immediately to heart. Words stated literally or symbolically will be heard, accepted and followed by those around you. My advice? Choose your words and actions wisely, and a fortunate and happy year you shall have.
