The Month Ahead
Good news for rats this month. Romance is in the air, and who better than the sensuous Rat to exploit any openings? Single Rats are high on the party list and could be in line for long-term commitments. Rats need to watch out, though - they could break a lot of hearts with their current irresistibility.
Money trouble could be in store for Oxen in May, but don't worry - you will sort it all out quickly, probably. Quack doctors are the main threat to Oxen suffering from chronic conditions, while long-distance journeys could cause problems to the male Ox. May is a stressful month, so it's better to put off until tomorrow everything that can be done today.
Tigers need to take plenty of vitamins this month to keep their strength up. Trying times are looming, both at work and in the home. Play it safe as much as possible; this is definitely not a good month for stock market speculation or a day at the races. Keep your claws in if in-laws test your patience.
Those with Rabbit partners should keep a close eye out this month - there is a danger randy Rabbits may be tempted to indulge in extra-curricular activities. Keep your ears pricked for financial advice, as this could be the month investments start to breed quick returns.
Hot-headed Dragons may have trouble with blood pressure in May. Tempers could flare as new projects face unexpected challenges, so look for ways to cool off and calm down. Watch that diet and don't overindulge in rich, fatty foods. Dragons working in heavy industry should stay in bed until June.
Platonic relationships with members of the opposite sex are not for sensuous Snakes as the passionate and loving side of their nature takes over this month. Some Snakes may experience slight abdominal pains, occasional giddiness or anxiety attacks. It would be advisable to go for a check-up.
Horses could be in for a rough ride this month. At work, they may get both themselves and others into a lather, while if they're redecorating their homes they may have to dig deep for funds. Watch out for stock market stumbles; stick to blue chips that are likely to stay the course.
Gardening, rearing carp or having some other creative pastimes are recommended for sheep this month. These hobbies are good for mental relaxation and for overcoming tension. For some Sheep, a chance meeting could become important later on in the year.
Chatter, chatter, chatter: Monkeys love gossip. And you are in your element this month. Some restless Monkey workers may consider new employment as their skills and expertise will be sought by some companies. However, do not be taken in by verbal promises of high salaries and bonuses. Ask for it in writing.
Roosters this month should not ignore advice, especially if it comes from unlikely quarters. Pay particular attention to the advice of people whom you despise or believe to be inferior, like the boss for example. Otherwise, family members should provide a useful shoulder to cry on.
Dogs will be barking for joy with health and happiness this month as Lady Luck makes a welcome comeback. Bow-wows holding top-level posts may be given chief executive positions in large corporate organisations. Single Dogs may meet soulmates at a party or through an introduction.
Thinking of getting married? Better take the plunge right now or never. Boars who pump heavy funds into overseas ventures may experience a downturn in business this month. But good profits might come from investments in the fish and seafood business. Old boars get ready for golden handshakes or early retirement packages.
