If you’re curious to know what this year has in store for your specific zodiac sign, in aspects of career, wealth, or finding “the one,” read your horoscope below!
Year of the Ox
Born in the years: 1913, 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021
This year is all about overcoming obstacles and finding solutions to problems you may have with a clear mind and strong will. Always remember that you are capable of getting through anything, despite the pressure and fear you may feel, and that help is always available when you need it.
LOVE: You may find yourself holding on to something or someone in fear of losing them, but doing this will only stop you (and them) from moving forward to something better. You canโt force a relationship to go back to how it was once; a relationship grows and changes through time, and you need to accept and welcome these changes. So donโt run away from the hard parts. Learn from them, let go, and heal.
CAREER and WEALTH: Itโs possible that youโve chosen to take on responsibilities because of the promise of material wealth, but these wonโt always give you the fulfillment you actually need. You need to be more in touch with what makes you happy and everything will fall into place. Be careful with people who might only manipulate you to get ahead. Stay in touch with your true self and keep your eyes on your goals.
HEALTH: It may help you to put structure in your daily routine this year to improve and maintain your health and wellness. Being more strict with your diet and habits, for example, can actually do wonders in the long run!
Year of the Tiger
Born in the years: 1914, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022
You may face situations that will bring a lot of confusion and misunderstanding and cause you to feel such loss on an emotional level, but these difficult moments will uncover who you truly are and what youโre capable of. So donโt dread the failures that may come this year; itโs how youโll be able to grow and learn. Give yourself space to heal and donโt forget to reach out to people for support.
LOVE: Your relationship may not be as smooth sailing as you hope this year, especially with possible misunderstandings that will come between you two. If you want a genuine, loving connection, you shouldnโt play games with your partner and actually say what you truly think and feel. Donโt be afraid to be vulnerable! You have to trust one another for this to work.
CAREER and WEALTH: Itโs possible that you will be unable to achieve the success you have been aiming for, and you must find the root cause of it instead of wallowing in your defeat. Assess if itโs because of a lack of drive and effort on your part and, if it is, strive to change your attitude and mindset! You can always turn these situations around when youโve put your mind to it. So take responsibility for your actions and just keep moving forward.
HEALTH: If ever you start experiencing any health-related issues this year, remember that you just need to give yourself space to heal. Donโt push yourself too hard and then act frustrated when your health doesnโt improve as quickly as you want it to.
Year of the Rabbit
Born in the years: 1915, 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, 2023
This year will be the year you should fully commit yourself to your goals and give your 100%! Through hard work and determination, you will get to where you want to be and youโll soon see your efforts pay off. Be open to collaborating with others to achieve success even faster!
LOVE: There may be bumps youโll experience in your relationship this year, so you may want to consider how youโll reignite the passion between you or deepen your connection. Nothing will happen unless you actually put the effort into fixing thingsโand the same can be said about finding someone if youโre single. If youโre not at all interested in a relationship, then thatโs fine too; just be careful not to be swayed by other peopleโs opinions and follow your own heart!
CAREER and WEALTH: You may have bitten off more than you can chew and are currently feeling overwhelmed with your load. You may have thought that taking on as many responsibilities as you can would help you flourish in your career but itโs taking a huge toll on your mental health. You need to unburden yourself and delegate work to friends and peers. Help is always there when you need it. No man is an island!
HEALTH: You need to find healthier ways to manage your stress and anxiety. Donโt fall into unhelpful coping mechanisms that will only make you feel worse. Rest, do things you find comforting and joyful, and spend time with your loved ones.
Year of the Dragon
Born in the years: 1916, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024
There will be times when you feel like all your hard work isnโt amounting to anything but that shouldnโt discourage you from moving forward. Donโt be motivated by the promise of material things when you succeed. Instead, remind yourself why youโre doing what youโre doing and focus on the holistic fulfillment that will come from achieving your goals.
LOVE: There may be instances where your lack of connection will make you feel โaloneโ in your relationship, but you just need to talk it through with your partner so you can get on the same page. Itโs not fair for either of you if only one of you is holding on while the other is slowly withdrawing, after all. If youโre single, this year may be a great time to set aside your fears and put yourself out there again. There are never any โmissed opportunitiesโ with love!
CAREER and WEALTH: There will be times when youโll let fear and anxiety hold you back from achieving success and you just need to shake the negativity off to get back on track! Have courage and let go of doubt; you are more capable than you realize. You just have to believe in yourself, gain confidence in your skills, and focus on your goals. Youโll get to where you need to be eventually.
HEALTH: Donโt overdo yourself this year, especially if you are just recovering from any health-related issue. Slowly ease yourself into things and pay attention to your body. Be kind to yourself!
Year of the Snake
Born in the years: 1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013, 2025
Though it is your year, you are not immune to problems down the road. Be mindful of your relationships this year and ensure that equality and mutual respect are maintained. Be wary about being taken advantage of or pressured into doing things you donโt want to do. You may experience some falling out with friends and loved ones, and itโs your decision whether to walk away from them or do what you can to fix things.
LOVE: If your relationship feels like itโs stagnating, you need to find ways to add more passion to it! There might be a lack of commitment and effort on either side that needs to be addressed. Reassess your priorities; are you focused too much on material wants? Money isnโt everythingโyou need to take care of the people around you.
CAREER and WEALTH: This is a great year for broadening your knowledge by learning new things! One way of doing this is by collaborating with others. Find someone who can guide you through your career path and share your talents with others too. This might not be the time to take big risks in terms of investment opportunities; stick to what you know and what youโre good at!
HEALTH: Be careful not to overwork yourself to the point of burnout. Be kind to yourself and reduce the stress in your life by taking frequent breaks and doing some much-needed self-care.
Year of the Horse
Born in the years:ย 1918, 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014
Big opportunities youโve been waiting to come your way may not arrive as quickly as you want, and you might not realize that it may be because of you. Perhaps you arenโt actually ready to jump into them yet or you feel youโre out of your depth. But if you donโt seize this chance, youโll eventually get left behind. So take that leap of faith!
LOVE: You need to be more open and honest in your relationships. Be more communicative with your needs and desires so you donโt get tempted into manipulative methods just to get what you want. Have a more positive mindset when it comes to attracting the kind of love you know you deserveโand remember that, to have it, you must give out the same to the world.
CAREER and WEALTH: You may get stuck in the middle of a tough decision when it comes to your career, unable to choose between two seemingly great (or equally terrible) things. You need to gather all the facts to make a more informed decision. Ask others for their opinions if you need more clarity! Life is about making tough choices and you have to stick through with them.
HEALTH: Remember that there will be things you cannot help or change, but you can always control how you react to them. Donโt be afraid to reach out to trusted peers for support. Just know that you are not alone, whatever you might be going through physically, mentally, and emotionally!
Year of the Goat
Born in the years:ย 1919, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015
There may be opportunities that will fall through or chances you may end up missing, but situations like this are always part of the journey. As long as you keep putting in the work to achieve your goals, you mustnโt let your fear hold you back from getting what you want.
LOVE: You may feel that your relationship isnโt going in the direction you initially envisioned. This year, focus on putting more energy, excitement, and passion into what you have with your partner so that things can progress between you and you can finally let go of any hesitation.
CAREER and WEALTH: There may be work situations that will give you a lot of stress and make you question if all of this is even worth enduring. Donโt be afraid to venture into new territories and discover new things that are meant for you and offer a much healthier environment.
HEALTH: There may be sudden changes in your health this year that you may not be able to avoid. However, always remember that even the most difficult situations can be overcome with the help of trusted friends and loved ones. Donโt be afraid to reach out to people when you need comfort and support!

Born in the years:ย 1920, 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016
You may be tempted to try and run away from your problems instead of facing them head-on this year. Use your head to assess your situation and think of logical solutions to get out of it. Donโt just jump to conclusions; check the facts before making decisions!
LOVE: You need to be more open and honest with your partner starting this year because relationships can only flourish when you are both your true selves. Dishonesty may be a result of existing insecurities, so try to work that out about yourself. After all, to love someone requires you to love who you are too.
CAREER and WEALTH: Remember that any conflict can be overcome with compromise. If you want to be seen and heard, be prepared to do the same with others. Donโt attempt to do anything with underhanded methodsโotherwise, it will come back to bite you. Be authentic and stick to your values!
HEALTH: Donโt overwork yourself to the point of forgetting to do the most basic things. No task is worth risking your health for! Always remember to eat well, get enough rest, and listen to your body.

A new year brings new beginnings! New, exciting adventures are ahead of you. Donโt be afraid to go out of your comfort zone. Failures are how you can learn and grow, so keep taking those leaps of faith!
LOVE: You have to be mindful of how much effort you give in your relationship, whether platonic or romantic. It isnโt fair to everyone involved if you all arenโt investing yourselves into the relationship in equal amounts. Always be reminded of your own values and make sure that the person youโre with is someone who shares them.
CAREER and WEALTH: If you are feeling stuck in a rut in your career seemingly due to a lack of opportunities, youโll find that the struggle will soon come to pass. You are entering a period of stability now. Let this teach you that no stressful situation is ever permanent, and you are always capable of getting through the worst of it!

Stop caring about how people perceive you. Itโs your lifeโyou choose how you want to live it. Calmly evaluate yourself and your choices in order to make positive decisions. Every struggle youโve faced in the past has brought you a lesson, so keep what youโve learned in mind as you move forward toward your goals. Be true to who you are!
LOVE: Put in the work this year to make your relationship fun and exciting again! Be honest with your feelings and expectations with your partner. Life is too short not to enjoy yourself around the person that you love. Be careful about deceiving or mistreating your partnerโyou may live to regret it.
CAREER and WEALTH: You may encounter problems at work because of restrictions that are holding you back from expressing your opinions. Perhaps itโs time for changeโwhether that means changing the environment or changing your strategy. Remember that you are your own boss and you have the power to carve out your own path toward your goals!
HEALTH: You may encounter many moments of anxiety and stress this year, but by tackling what is bothering you head-on, you can overcome these struggles. Listen to what your heart and body are telling you. Know your limits!

Born in the years:ย 1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019
Though there will be moments when you feel like you arenโt reaching your goals and that failure seems to come over and over again, you must not make hasty decisions and trample over others just to get ahead. Understand that things will always take time and mistakes happen for you to learn and grow. So have patience and take it one step at a time.
LOVE: You canโt help that sometimes you feel trapped in your relationship but that doesnโt mean that you should just do whatever you want to get out of that situation. There must always be change and compromise. Assess why youโre feeling this way. Remember that holding onto the past and the what-could-have-beens wonโt help you move positively forward.

CAREER and WEALTH: Through hard work, dedication, and perseverance, you will soon achieve success with your goals. All your efforts will pay off and you must let yourself enjoy the fruits of your labor. Be proud of yourself!

Just because dark skies are ahead doesnโt mean itโs always going to be this bad. Donโt let terrible moments stop you from moving forward. Joy and fortune abound around you no matter whatโas long as you keep your eyes open to see them. Trust that the sun will shine down on you eventually.
LOVE: Happy times are ahead for you with your relationship. Celebrate the love you will be experiencing all year round and donโt let doubt and anxiety rob you of these joys!
CAREER and WEALTH: You may feel frustrated and exhausted over unexpected challenges in your career, but you must understand that the only way to overcome them is by taking responsibility.

Donโt be too controlling either; you shouldnโt be pressured into doing everything on your own just for things to be โright.โ Always find a balance.
HEALTH: You will experience good health and vitality this year, so protect your mind, body, and heart to keep yourself in great shape physically, mentally, and emotionally!
