7 Feb 2008 to 26 Jan 2009


2007 is a time for the industrious Rat to begin to finalise things. Bring all plans together and prepare to formulate. Next year will see this come to fruition, all from your hard work and productive ways. You must be patient this year though. Spend some much needed time on pampering yourself, having massages, soaking in a spa for a few hours. I bet you did not know that was even possible for you. Reserve your energy for next year. You will most certainly need it. Some personal adjustments along with decisions may be necessary to make now. This decision will be of a personal nature and it is definitely time to stop stalling. It will be important for next year’s journey. Move on from where you are if you know in your heart that you should not be there.

The Ox in the Pig Year.
The Ox Years
25 Jan 1925 to 12 Feb 1926
11 Feb 1937 to 30 Jan 1938
29 Jan 1949 to 16 Feb 1950
15 Feb 1961 to 4 Feb 1962

20 Feb 1985 to 8 Feb 1986
7 Feb 1997 to 27 Jan 1998
27 Jan 2009 to 14 Feb 2010

This year takes the Ox into a very busy time. With home and career. The Ox who usually takes a while to get excited, or for that matter stimulated, certainly has an abundance of excitement and new found energy this year. Ox people are also happy about extra work and nothing is a burden. New and valuable contacts seem to pop up all over the place. Do not expect results straight away, but, plan for the future and be positive. It is certainly a fortunate time. You could become a workaholic this year, but with a big smile about it. Remember to celebrate, and a bit a dancing would be marvelous. Young Ox natives will work and party just as hard, the more mature ones need to be reminded about drinks and dinner, indulge. Romance, work and fun are the themes.

The Tiger in the Pig Year.

The Tiger Years
13 Feb 1926 to 1 Feb 1927
31 Jan 1938 to 18 Feb 1939

9 Feb 1986 to 28 Jan 1987
28 Jan 1998 to 15 Feb 1999
15 Feb 2010 to 3 Feb 2011

If the Tiger curbs their spending habits this year more money will be available in the long run. Keep away from get rich quick schemes and gambling though. In business make solid plans for the year then follow them through to the tee. If this is done things will happen fast with positive results. Good fortune follows good laid plans for all Tigers. It can be a very auspicious year for the Tiger, because the Pig and the Tiger are good friends so, Pig Years are great for Tigers. There will be lots of laughter, satisfaction and a wonderful feeling of being content. A new loving partnership is in the wings for those single Tigers, but no pouncing this time, wait and enjoy the game of romance.

The Rabbit in the Pig Year.

29 Jan 1987 to 16 Feb 1988
16 Feb 1999 to 4 Feb 2000
4 Feb 2011 to 23 Jan 2012

This is a wonderful year for our cuddly little friend. However, all Rabbit natives must protect all their interests, home and business included, then this year will run smoothly. There will be tremendous support from family and friends, giving the Rabbit a special feeling of contentment. The year should look brighter as each day passes. A wonderful year for marriage or marriage plans and a great year if Rabbit parents have children this year. The general vibe for this year is not to take life so seriously. One warning only, if there was any icky or strange things from the past year, or from new or weird friends, time to make this association a thing of the past. Enjoy the year, it will be pleasant and tranquil.

The Dragon in the Pig Year.
The Dragon Years
23 Jan 1928 to 9 Feb 1929
8 Feb 1940 to 26 Jan 1941

17 Feb 1988 to 5 Feb 1989
5 Feb 2000 to 23 Jan 2001
24 Jan 2012 to 10 Feb 2013

Thank goodness for the Pig year, last year is over and a huge sigh of relief fills many Dragon homes. The past year had trials and tribulations for most Dragons. However, they are tough and will always survive. Everything goes back to normal for the Dragon. That is for the rare Dragon who is normal. A lucky year all round for Dragons. Sunshine and socializing. Careful with money though, lots can come in and lots can go out. So there is caution and diligence here required, pursue some friendly financial advice, and then take it. The Pig year of 2007 is a great time for preparation because the Dragon moves into one of their most auspicious years in 2008. Take things easy and avoid at all costs anything which may frustrate you. Enjoy a family holiday and bask in the happiness a family and good friends can bring.

The Snake in the Pig Year.

The Snake Years
10 Feb 1929 to 29 Jan 1930
27 Jan 1941 to 14 Feb 1942
14 Feb 1953 to 2 Feb 1954
2 Feb 1965 to 20 Jan 1966
18 Feb 1977 to 6 Feb 1978
6 Feb 1989 to 26 Jan 1990
24 Jan 2001 to 11 Feb 2002
11 Feb 2013 to 31 Jan 2014

Energy levels run high this year for Snake natives. So do potential setbacks, however, they should not last too long, fore warned fore armed. It is your opposite year now, so you could feel out of touch, situations on all levels can be delayed, and people constantly misunderstand you. It is a year to reserve high levels of energy, hibernate, or find that island in the sun and spend as much time as you can not being a part of everything. The most important thing you can do this year is most definitely avoid any lawsuits or legal battles; the energy is not in your favour. Wait till next year if you absolutely must. Generally lay low if you can, and know that the Rat and Ox year of 2008 & 2009 are extremely favourable for you. If loved ones are reaching out to you remember to listen to them, they will need your support at this particular time. Keep up a good attitude and smile all year long, because this is the perfect ammunition for the Snake throughout the year. Simply smile at whatever is playing out.

The Horse in the Pig Year.
The Horse Years
30 Jan 1930 to 16 Feb 1931
15 Feb 1942 to 4 Feb 1943
3 Feb 1954 to 23 Jan 1955
21 Jan 1966 to 8 Feb 1967
7 Feb 1978 to 27 Jan 1979
27 Jan 1990 to 14 Feb 1991
12 Feb 2002 to 31 Jan 2003
1 Feb 2014 to 18 Feb 2015

This is a year that the wonderful flamboyant Horse needs to curb many of their ways. Overspending is most definitely one of them. Avoid 2007 being an extremely challenging year by remaining focused only on what you are doing at the time. Not doing one thing and constantly thinking about another, particularly romance. Now is the time for a serious reality check in keeping grounded, what does that mean? Well let me tell you. This year really brings the Horse back down to earth. Otherwise there can be unexpected hostilities which can arise from outside forces creating obstacles and setbacks daily. If you stay grounded and constantly aware these potential delays or conflicts will be avoided. I know this may seem daunting but it is not as severe as it sounds, stay calm and take a breath. Appreciate the potential social aspect of the year, after all the Pig year is a time for celebration. It is not a time for you to go off frolicking in paddocks where you should not be. Also, do not enter into new contracts and be aware of new investments this year. An opportunity may cross your path by a strange course, remember not to throw the baby out with the bath water here, just keep an open mind and ask a trusting friend for advice regarding the prospect. Miscommunication also could play a little bit of havoc, otherwise enjoy.

The Sheep in the Pig Year.
The Sheep Years
17 Feb 1931 to 5 Feb 1932
5 Feb 1943 to 24 Jan 1944
24 Jan 1955 to 11 Feb 1956
9 Feb 1967 to 29 Jan 1968
28 Jan 1979 to 15 Feb 1980
15 Feb 1991 to 3 Feb 1992
1 Feb 2003 to 22 Jan 2004
19 Feb 2015 to 9 Feb 2016

In the Pig year the Sheep is so very blessed. This is one of your great years. With enthusiasm tackle anything that may seem difficult, it will be a breeze. Any new project or career offers, take them. It is a great year for marriage and commitment. The flow of harmonies is definitely in your favour during 2007. Money will be good fortune, like winning or inheriting. Everything you do will be easy. The only way things would be stressful for you is if you choose to stay in a relationship or employment where you are just not happy. You simply must leave. What is perfect for you is waiting around the corner, go have a look. Do remember to help those less fortunate and have patience with people who do not have any. Ps, have a wonderful year. You certainly deserve it and you will cherish many wonderful moments and memories from this year.

The Monkey in the Pig Year.
The Monkey Years
6 Feb 1932 to 25 Jan 1933
25 Jan 1944 to 12 Feb 1945
12 Feb 1956 to 30 Jan 1957
30 Jan 1968 to 16 Feb 1969
16 Feb 1980 to 4 Feb 1981
4 Feb 1992 to 23 Jan 1993
23 Jan 2004 to 9 Feb 2005
10 Feb 2016 to 28 Jan 2017

2007 can be a time when life will cruise along if the Monkey is prepared to make a few compromises, seemingly to be around your career and they will be necessary. So hang in there Monkey and remember your magic and use it. You can do anything and everything. But don’t let that run you too ragged, things could hot up a bit and everyone wants you, your time, your talents and your life saving answers. So there is caution not to spread yourself too thin. Also, be wary of offers which are put to you. Researching first would be appropriate before that business lunch. Otherwise stress levels will play havoc with Monkey’s health if you jump into something new before you scrutinize it thoroughly during this year. There seems to be improvements in your life and lifestyle, particularly if the last 2 years had challenges, some of those challenges you kept secret in that brilliant mind of yours. However, you know that decision you have been putting off? Shucks, just do it, make it. You will be pleased. This can be a fun time with travel and a possible move of house. All great really, as long as you heed those precautions. Next year will be remarkable for the Monkey and this year will be great. Remember, only you know what’s going on in your head, so don’t expect others to understand.

The Rooster in the Pig Year.
The Rooster Years
26 Jan 1933 to 13 Feb 1934
13 Feb 1945 to 1 Feb 1946
31 Jan 1957 to 17 Feb 1958
17 Feb 1969 to 5 Feb 1970

24 Jan 1993 to 9 Feb 1994
10 Feb 2005 to 30 Jan 2006
29 Jan 2017 to 16 Feb 2018

The effervescent Rooster could have a few tail feathers ruffled this year if they have situations return that were not resolved from last year. Mostly this will have to do with the home front or living arrangements that do not suit the Rooster. If this sounds familiar fix it up and look forward to a good year. It can be a year of public recognition for the work you have done by bringing improvement to others, either professionally or privately. Watch the limelight though; it can have its downfalls. Responsibilities that you usually have will expand, as if you need any more, and even though extra work seems overwhelming there will be beneficial financial rewards. The Pig and the Rooster are very different people but they usually have the same values, they get on quite well while enjoying and trusting each other. The year 2007 suits them both. Roosters only real warning this year is avoid arguments, just for a change you won’t win them. Family and friends should play an integral part of Roosters spare time this year. Indulge in outings with family and friends, especially if involved with fun activity. Things you don’t usually do. These outings will bring some very loving and tender times for the Rooster.

The Dog in the Pig Year.
The Dog Years
14 Feb 1934 to 3 Feb 1935

31 Jan 2006 to 17 Feb 2007
17 Feb 2018 to 5 Feb 2019

This is a tranquil year for the Dog, especially after the last two. Although there may be some friends or family members that need saving, so the loyal Dog could be off on a few rescue missions. Along with the tranquility comes good fortune. If any single Doggies out there feel its time to attract the perfect partner, now is definitely the time for sprucing up the wardrobe and making sure of a fresh supply of after shave or French perfume. Enjoy also the opportunity of making new friends and put some well-earned time into personal development. Nurture yourself by having a spa once a week and while in the spa cultivate some new ideas, and if there are delays, just wait them out. Basically enjoy a peaceful and joyful year while being filled with gratitude for what you have.
