You may feel as though there’s something stopping you from reaching your long-term goals or that you’re exhausting your energy onto something that isn’t at all worth the time and investment. Don’t try to look for shortcuts. It may be a tough road ahead but you shouldn’t give up! Determine what’s no longer working and let them go so that you can start focusing on new goals.

No matter how difficult they may seem, these changes are meant to improve the state of your relationship and allow you both to move onward and onto better things. Trust that you will find where you’re meant to be.

CAREER and WEALTH: If things aren’t going well for you in your career, reflect on your behavior and check if you are the reason that things aren’t going your way. Perhaps you’re too passive or unfocused on your work, blindly following other people’s orders that may not suit your best interest. Or perhaps you’re too aggressive and controlling, and it’s affecting your relationship with your coworkers. Find out what it is you need to change for the better.

HEALTH: Always check on your mental health and not just your physical well-being. Prioritize self-care when you need it, learn when to take breaks, and keep in mind that there are people you can trust to help you through difficult times.

Year of the Rabbit

Born in the years: 1915, 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011

You may have reached or will reach your goals soon, successfully overcoming all the obstacles that stood in your way. Always remember to take time and enjoy the fruits of your labor, especially with your loved ones and those who’ve supported you in the entire journey. Appreciate the stable foundation you’ve built for yourself this coming year!

LOVE: You may experience passion, excitement, and spontaneity in your love life but be careful about being too carefree to the point that you’re hurting yourself or those around you with your decisions. Remember to communicate your expectations in a relationship well with your date or your partner, especially in terms of commitment.

CAREER and WEALTH: Your get-things-done attitude will bring you continued success. Just be wary of working yourself to the bone or juggling too many tasks at once; otherwise, you may burn out quickly. Know where to invest your resources on and always monitor your expenses so you don’t get carried away.

HEALTH: Trust in your inner strength that whatever sickness you may have or end up having, whether it’s physical, emotional, or mental, you will be able to get through them as long as you seek the help you need and do the work to get better.

Year of the Dragon

Born in the years: 1916, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012

Amid all the chaos that may be present in your life, always be in touch with your inner child and inject fun, spontaneity, and relaxation into your routines from time to time. Do whatever brings you joy, express your creative side freely, and try new things so that you constantly remind yourself of the all beauty that still exists in the world.

LOVE: Always keep in mind to stay hardworking and committed to your relationships in order to keep them happy and healthy. Maintain that balance between your career and your home life. Learn from past mistakes and heal from past hurts so that you don’t make the same slip-ups in the future.

CAREER and WEALTH: Never push yourself past your limits! You may be tempted to take on much more than you can handle just to feel “productive” or to please your coworkers, but doing so will only harm you in the long run. Your self-worth is not defined by the amount of work that you do. Start surrounding yourself with better peers who have your best interest at heart too and want to see you grow and succeed. Remember also that if at any point in your career you feel that you are at a dead end, be open to exploring new opportunities!

HEALTH: If you’ve been “hustling and grinding” to the point of exhaustion, it’s time to slow down and nurture your body from the inside and out. Let go of the things that only give you stress! Always listen to your body and be kind to it.

Year of the Snake

Born in the years: 1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013

Be wary of working hard and investing most of your resources on things that will give you little reward or won’t benefit you at all in the long run. Always assess what’s more worth your time and prioritize them over the things that only deplete your energy.

LOVE: Difficult issues may arise in your relationships in the coming year and you’ll need to address them quickly to prevent these issues from blowing up. Remember that any predicament may be solved with open, honest, and compassionate communication with your loved ones. Keeping your thoughts to yourself will only harm you. Find solutions and a compromise so that you can prevent further problems down the road.

CAREER and WEALTH: There is no “I” in team. Trust that your colleagues will help you achieve your goals and get the job done! Distance yourself from highly competitive people who will do anything just to get ahead. Always be open to asking for help and collaborating with others, and give that support those who may need it.

HEALTH: You may find yourself constantly panicking about your health but doing so will only cause you more harm than good. Just relax and focus your energies instead on making sure you keep yourself safe and healthy. Don’t overwork your body and maintain a balanced lifestyle.

Year of the Horse

Born in the years: 1918, 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014

You may frequently feel like your mind is all over the place, making it difficult to concentrate or focus on your responsibilities. When this happens, don’t be afraid to seek help from other people and gain their perspective on your situation so that things may become much clearer to you before making any decision.

LOVE: Things may be going well for you and your partner but there may be times when you’ll feel like you lack passion in your relationship. This shouldn’t be a cause of worry, though! All you need to do is find ways to inject the fun and passion into your lives.

CAREER and WEALTH: You may experience conflict at work a few times in the coming year caused by poor communication among coworkers. Even though you feel the need to stand up for yourself and fight back, you have to withhold yourself and find rational solutions to the issues at hand. Don’t try to play the victim, but don’t pin the blame on anyone either. Stay calm and handle stress with grace. In terms of your finances, you might need to sacrifice some small luxuries from time to time in order to improve your financial situation.

Year of the Goat

Born in the years: 1919, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015

You may find yourself plagued with doubt constantly in the coming months as you think about worst case scenarios and past mistakes over and over again. You need to release yourself from your insecurities and reflect inwardly on what it is you want to do in order to feel happy and fulfilled. Refrain from being swayed by other people’s opinions; the only voice you need to listen to is your own. Give yourself space to really listen to what your heart is saying!

LOVE: Be wary of becoming discontented, withdrawn, or detached from your relationship. Try to work it out with your partner or your date instead of making impulsive decisions you may regret later on. You may also feel torn between having stability and longing for adventure, and you have to really take time to figure out what your heart truly wants for the sake of your long term happiness.

CAREER and WEALTH: It’s important that you stay focused on getting your work done and avoid being too lazy, disorganized, and unreliable. Be wary of people who may try to take advantage of you and your skills at work just so they can get ahead. Keep in mind also that your self-worth is not defined by the amount of material wealth you have, so avoid being overly materialistic or stingy with your money. Treat yourself from time to time—but never spend more than you earn!

HEALTH: Be careful about rushing through your activities and doing things on impulse as you are more prone to accidents and mishaps this year.

Year of the Monkey

Though you know you’re at a good place in your life, you can’t help but feel that you are meant for more than what you currently have. However, you need to reflect on whether you’re actually putting in the work needed for you to be able to say that you deserve that reward. Remember that material possessions won’t bring you long term joy. Define what it is in your life that holds the most value for you!

LOVE: Personal growth and fulfillment will be your main focus this coming year and you must not try and restrict yourself from pursuing them for the sake of your relationship. No one should be boxed inside their relationship; be free to be you, no matter what other people may say.

CAREER and WEALTH: Remember that you have complete control over your life even if it feels like you’re being tied down doing something that doesn’t fill you with joy. Take this time to evaluate what it is you want out of your career, whether you are on the right path or you’re meant for something more. In terms of finances, watch your spending and be careful about where you choose to invest your resources in.

HEALTH: Just like in other aspects of your life, you also hold the power over your health. Don’t blindly follow other people’s advice on what you should do, what you should eat, etc. Only you know your limits and what your body needs to stay healthy. If you are undergoing treatments, make sure that you are being listened to because that shows that they actually care about your recovery.

There may be moments when you feel like you’re stuck in situations you’re not happy with. Always remember that you have the power to free yourself from the traps of your mind simply by walking away from the situation or changing your perspective on it.
