MANILA, Philippines - Your guide to improving your finances, health and relationships with monthly forecasts for each animal sign and suggestions for cures and enhancers.

You are a highly creative person who could charm your way out of life’s difficulties. You do this by being adaptable and resilient. As such you work very well in a team and are usually very popular. You are not one to complain quickly and when faced with difficult situations, you would rather go on with your activity. You are very observant, with an innate curiosity about people and things and you use your perceptions to judge who you form relationships with. You don’t have problems shifting careers and many Rat-born people become successful in their chosen professions early on. Although possessing the heart for adventure, you will not hesitate to run away if you sense danger. You are courageous but also a survivor. The only thing you need to guard against is your tongue. Because you are in your element in social situations, social and political discussions don’t scare you and you tend to express yourself freely. This could be your undoing, but you are the ultimate escape artist, and you can wiggle your way out of unpleasant situations.

Month 1 (Feb. 4 – Mar. 5)

Lie low for now as the Robbery Star flies into your chart. Do not flaunt your wealth or else you face possible loss of valuables. Wait for a better time to let your true worth shine. Don’t take on new challenges unless you are sure of yourself. Be sure all your bases are covered. Don’t get involved in office politics as even the best intentions could work against you.

Forget about starting new relationships. Be extra careful if you’re married or seeing someone. Put the interest of your loved one above your own, at least for now, or you might end up being the loser. Trying to take charge may be stressful for you and may strain your relationship with your parents or other authority figures. Heed the advice of those who care about you even if you have that urge to wing it yourself.

LUCK ENHANCERS for this month:

Place a Yang bubbling water feature in your home, preferably one with a Rhino and Elephant to ward off the Robbery Star. Consider wearing shirts or fashion pieces designed with rhino prints to get rid of dishonest people in your life.

Month 2 (Mar. 6 – Apr. 4)

You will be lucky in love and career but remember that success comes with hard work. If you’re new to the job market you will enjoy great mentor luck. You will pick up new skills so use your skills to move forward. You will have the support of your boss and your co-workers. Don’t be greedy with monetary gains but apply yourself to the task and you will be the winner in the end. Look at every opportunity to work hard as a blessing.

You tend to go with the flow and let your partner set the pace, but this time you’ll be happier if you take the lead. Married Rats will have their partners as their secret charms in work-related activities. Learning becomes more natural to you. Use this to your advantage and pursue your studies seriously. This is true not only in your academic activities but also other interests.

LUCK ENHANCERS for this month:

Keep figurines of your astrological friends the Monkey and Dragon on your work desk to keep the support of your co-workers. Consider wearing apparel with your allies and friends Rat, Monkey and Dragon in various colors to suit your mood.

Month 3 (Apr. 5 – May 5)

There will be obstacles to ruin your mood but if you develop better strategies, you can just look at setbacks as reality checks. Mind your health at a time when your luck takes a vacation. Don‘t create a wedge between you and your friends by being difficult. Try to be less sensitive; that way you will ride through this tough period. A break to clear your mind may be just what you need.

Beware of disagreements that could drive your partner away. Think before you act and know when to laugh things off. Don’t do anything that will drive your loved one into the arms of someone else. Avoid late nights and try not to overexert yourself physically. Do not press on if you’re feeling out of sorts. Not a good period for exams and cramming is not the solution. Try to prepare much earlier.

LUCK ENHANCERS for this month:

Wear or carry the Wu Lou or health amulet and do not overexert yourself. Activate study luck with a crystal globe or stone globe in the Northeast of your study room. Consider wearing wu lou-inspired shirts or fashion pieces to invite health and longevity into your life.

Month 4 (May 6 – Jun. 5)

The Peach Blossom Star could cause temptations that could harm your otherwise happy relationship. You may be distracted from work and find it difficult to stay in focus. This time your head should rule over your heart. Avoid getting sidetracked by romantic complications. Distractions at work could jeopardize your career. Stay on course and show your real talents, especially in communications. This is the ideal time to establish new connections in business, so make your presence felt and go after your goal.

You will throw all cares to the winds and enjoy yourself. Savor the experience if you’re single, but if you’re married, don’t spoil a good relationship with a moment’s pleasure. The rule is: be sensible and avoid love triangles. You will be kept very busy by a lot of things this month. Be responsible and stay disciplined. You will be happiest if you have a clear goal and veer away from distractions. Share your ideas freely; don’t be intimidated and unsure of yourself.

LUCK ENHANCERS for this month:

Boost your luck with images of your astrological allies the Dragon and the Monkey, or carry charms with their images on the Wish Fulfilling Crest on Wealth Wallets. To prevent loss of wealth, carry a five-element pagoda charm; for continuous flow of wealth, wear clothes printed with mystic knots, wealth ships or auspicious coins.

Month 5 (Jun 6 – Jul. 6)

The Quarrelsome Star pays you a visit making you more irritable than usual. You see other people’s efforts as intrusions and you crave some time for quiet reflection. Certainly not a good time for new deals. There could be arguments with co-workers. If you’re in a political environment, rivals could take advantage of this situation to put you down. Don’t lose control over your emotions. Better to keep a low profile for now.

There’s a cooling down in the romance area because of your challenged sense of humor. Even the smallest things get on your nerves. It might be better to go your own way rather than participate in group effort at this time. If you’re too fixed on getting everything right, you might be in for disappointment. Don’t spend too much time planning; start somewhere and forget about perfection. Improvements can be done later.

LUCK ENHANCERS for this month:

Carry the Ping Peace amulet to keep disagreements in check. Display the Three Sun Mirrors in the North of your office to take care of the conflict energies. To prevent any misunderstanding, anger, or possible legal problems, wear a lot of red with auspicious symbols especially those with fireball images!

Month 6 (Jul. 7 – Aug. 7)

You’ll feel a little bit low on energy. Whatever physical pains you have will slow you down but may be overcome by doing something you really enjoy. Those aches shouldn’t be serious enough for you to skip work. You will be a bit careless because of your low energy level. But it’s nothing that can’t be addressed by time management and proper planning. Taking time off work is not a good idea especially nearing appraisal time.

You will enjoy some cozy moments with your partner if you’re already in a relationship. If you’re in the dating stage, be careful about your mood swings, which could be a turn-off. Stay calm and relaxed for your new relationship towork. You are prone to getting sick this month, which may hamper your work. Don’t try to finish everything in one go; instead try to work in short rather than marathon spans. You will accomplish more this way.

LUCK ENHANCERS for this month:

Wear a Wu Lou or health amulet for some energy boost. Wear wu lou-inspired prints for positive health and good energy!

Month 8 (Sept. 8 – Oct. 7)

Projects started months ago will flow smoothly and see completion. Still, don’t be in a hurry to make quick money. Think long term; things will get even better next month but set the foundation this time. You find your work stimulating and you are very creative so you don’t mind putting in long hours. Positive changes you initiate now will go a long way and will get noticed so make the necessary effort.

Your success at work extends to your love life. Your self-confidence rubs off on others as well. This is a good time to take your personal relationship to the next level. It will be most auspicious indeed. You are very energetic and there seems to be nothing you can’t achieve this month. Set a different set of standards for yourself rather than just be one of, or keep up with the others. Enjoy being the center of attention.

Wear a gold Victory Banner amulet with you to enhance your good fortune this month. To tap the best opportunities for the month, wear clothes printed with your allies and friends symbols, mystic knot or any wealth symbols.

Month 9 (Oct. 8 – Nov. 6)

This is one of your luckiest months this year so plan all important contract signings, product launches and life events accordingly. Expect some romance luck and harmonious domestic life, too. Don’t shy away from more responsibilities. This will be a good move to take your career one notch higher. With your good fortune, this is a great time to start new business projects or launch new products.

This is not the time to be inhibited in your relationships. This month has many good things waiting for you so brace yourself for the exciting ride. You won’t get to enjoy it if you don’t give yourself a chance. If everything seems to be going too well for you, expect some jealous reactions from your peers. Ignore these types and surround yourself with supportive ones instead. Don’t let negative energies spoil your good fortune.

Display a wealth ship in your home and office. Add small treasures like money, gems, gold bars or ingots each day this month to further enhance your wealth luck. Consider wearing fashion designed with wealth ship or auspicious birds to tap opportunities from different sources.

Month 10 (Nov. 7 – Dec. 6)

The negative energies are back bringing possible hostilities and loss. Keep a low profile and don’t allow your victories to attract jealousy from others. Watch out for people who may have ulterior motives. Watch your back at work. Malevolent energies are lurking so don’t open yourself to being a victim. Avoid gossip because anything you said may be used against you. Keep your opinions on the professional side. Many things could go wrong but focusing on the ones that are going right will make things easier for you. You are not in your best shape so you may feel a little sorry for yourself. Take a step back and try to look at the bigger picture.

When things go wrong in some aspects, good friends will do a lot to lift your spirits. Try to hang out with those who can accept you for what you are and with whom you can be your true self. Look on the bright side.

You are in for some promotion and career luck this month. There are indications of longterm success in your business undertakings.

Your natural charm and sense of humor will be irresistible to your partner. Don’t be too intense, however, as this might ruin things.

This is a good time to connect with people whose company you really enjoy. With a strong support system you can get ahead this month.

LUCK ENHANCERS for this month:

Activate promotion luck with a Monkey Sitting on a Horse on your desk. Auspicious bird and wealth ship prints will assist in opening up a lot of opportunities.

Month 12 (Jan 6 – Feb. 3)

Problems arise but don’t let them stop you from achieving your goals. Look at these things as challenges that make you look for a better way. The Misfortune Star has flown into your chart this month but it won’t stay there forever. You will feel exhausted because you have too much on your plate. Teamwork is the key to getting things done. Focus on the more important tasks and set your priorities accordingly. Don’t roll out new projects in business.

Do not jump into anything new at this time. Instead take things slow and wait till you are ready. This is not a good time to get engaged or get married. Give your partner and yourself some space for now. Things will improve next month. You are not your usual organized self. You become anxious for no apparent reason. Don’t give too much attention to other people’s thoughts. You can’t please everyone, so focus on yourself and what you really want for now.

LUCK ENHANCERS for this month:

Carry or wear the Five Element Pagoda symbol to counter the effects of the Misfortune Star.

You are the most hardworking among zodiac signs. You have such strength and stamina to endure long work hours, which give real meaning to the expression “work like an ox.” Because of this, Ox-born people are usually successful and at the same time intimidating to those who don’t possess their endurance and persistence. People tend to seek you out when they need help because you are a reliable friend and colleague. You usually earn their trust and your friends know that they have a loyal and very supportive ally in you. They know you are capable and can be a force to reckon with in stressful situations.

You are perceived as stubborn in your ways. It’s because once you have set up your mind on something, it can be quite difficult for you to change your views. In the extreme, this can lead to being inflexible and difficult to work with.             

You can be averse to taking risks and would only change ways if you see real benefits to doing so. Others may see this as being boring and less adventurous. What they don’t see is that you’d rather play it safe than take short cuts or careless risks. Because of this “fixed” mindset, you are unlikely to change jobs and as a result could be a master at what you do.

Compatibilities: Dragon, Rabbit, Monkey, Boar, or another Ox: Horse and Dog

Secret Friend: Rat

Allies: Snake and Rooster

Enemy: Sheep

Ideal Career: Doctor, teacher, composer, judge or chef

Month 1 (Feb. 4 – Mar. 5)

Both the Misfortune Star and the Number 8 Earth Star are in your chart this month. This means there will be obstacles but you can work through them or even learn from them. Stay positive and you can handle all these challenges. You tend to be too hard on yourself at work but remember that nothing is ever perfect. Office politics may take its toll but with the proper cures, this too can be controlled. Business luck is good but be alert to changes. Whatever tough time you may have at the office may be compensated for by a satisfactory personal life. Stay positive and your popularity will keep you upbeat. Be in the company of good friends and things will work out well. Keeping your focus is a bit of a challenge. Seek the help of a teacher or someone knowledgeable if you have problems related to your studies. A mentor figure will become increasingly influential in your life.

LUCK ENHANCERS for this month:

Wear or carry the Five Element Pagoda or display the Kalachakra Stupa in your home to protect you from the Misfortune Star. Control negative vibes in the office with a Rooster figurine. Carry or wear the Five Element Pagoda symbol to counter the effects of the Misfortune Star.

Month 2 (Mar. 6 – Apr. 4)

Month 3 (Apr. 5 – May 5)

The combination of stars in your chart brings mixed luck. There could be obstacles and misunderstandings but everything will turn out well in the end. Read the fine prints in contracts to avoid legal issues. Don’t hesitate to back off when provoked to act and be at the losing end. Keep your temper in check at work. You shouldn’t make enemies unnecessarily. Mood swings and careless mistakes are likely if you don’t think straight. Resolve any differences you may have with business associates early on.

Those who are just starting out as couples should be careful. There could be some tension in the relationship. Those who have been married for a long time should spend less time with each other. Engaging in separate hobbies will help. Sometimes even negative things happen for a reason, so don’t be disheartened if you have to change plans. If provoked, don’t take the bait and walk away instead. It doesn’t mean you lose; in fact it shows you’re smart enough not to stoop to that level.

LUCK ENHANCERS for this month:

Month 5 (Jun 6 – Jul. 6)

Let go of the old—things, habits and people that are not good for you, and bring in new ones. You have Victory and Completion Luck allowing you to take on new challenges. Welcome changes. Be adventurous and discover how adaptable you can be. You’re a better leader than a follower and you can trust your instincts when faced with difficult situations. A great time to learn new business skills.

You might need to free yourself from a relationship that is not working. Do not be in a hurry to start a new one if you have ended something. Enjoy your freedom for a while.

So play well and make alliances work to your advantage. In business, new opportunities will open up. Use this period to socialize productively.

The young Ox will be kept busy in the love department and may just find a new romance. Those who are committed should not neglect their responsibilities. This is a good month to get engaged or get married. Make an effort to form strong alliances that would let your colleagues see you as an important link.

Your talent will be obvious to the people around you, but if you don’t manage this strength, you might attract jealousy.

LUCK ENHANCERS for this month:

Wear a gold Victory Banner amulet with you to enhance your good fortune this month. Auspicious bird and wealth ship prints will assist in opening up a lot of opportunities.

Month 7 (Aug. 8 – Sept. 7)

Expect wealth and success luck this month that will not necessarily make others envious, but may even make you more popular. While your social life becomes active allow some breathing space in your calendar. Balance is the key. You’re in for a exhausting month but you will enjoy every moment of it. You work very well with others, which is good because teamwork will be crucial to your success. Wealth luck is there also for those who are in business.

Your love life and family are your top priority and you’ll be able to strike a balance between career and personal life. Your fulfillment comes not only from material things but more importantly from a loving heart. The young Ox needs strong self-motivation this month.

Stay confident and time will take care of everything. Stay focused in your work and remember to keep your personal life out of it. Stay out of politics and don’t take sides because you might lose out. Keep your brilliant ideas to yourself. Next month will be better and luckier.

Be careful with what you carry into a new relationship. This may not be the best time to start a new one in the first place. Keep the dating casual. The Loss Star is inauspicious for relationships so you have to be strong and understanding, yet firm. Don’t take personal safety for granted. Break your routine once in a while. Ladies should especially be on guard and avoid late nights. Always have a trusted male with you after dark for protection.

LUCK ENHANCERS for this month:

Carry the Anti-infidelity amulet to keep your relationship harmonious. Hang a Rhino and Elephant on your bag or wear the Precious Elephant scarf to keep you safe this month. To ensure harmonious relationships, wear fashion with mystic knot prints.

Month 9 (Oct. 8 – Nov. 6)

Make the most of this good fortune and take on more responsibilities. This is the time to move forward and go after your goal. You have other people’s attention so pitch those brilliant ideas. Your presence and charisma will make up for incomplete job knowledge.

Forget the questions and just go with the flow. Turn on your charm and you will be irresistible. If you’re single, don’t close down your options by going with the first person who comes along.

Display symbols of your astrological allies, the Rooster and the Snake along with your own sign the Ox on your desk to boost your good fortune. Consider wearing clothes with prints of your allies and friends Snake, Ox and Rooster in various colors to suit your mood.

Month 10 (Nov. 7 – Dec. 6)

The obstacles are back so you need to slow down and don’t make hasty decisions. Friends are there to help; don’t nurse suspicions that they have hidden agenda. Those who are into extreme sports should be more careful this month. Keep your wits about you at work. Keep your allies close to you but stay low profile. Don’t leave any room for mistakes and pay close attention to details. Don’t try to appear intimidating to others; you can’t afford animosities directed at you at this time.

If something bothers you, try to talk about it. Bottling it inside you won’t do any good. In case of misunderstandings, be careful with your words and watch out for that temper. The misfortune star is lurking around you and could cause serious damage to your relationships. You might need a change of scenery. If you have become too familiar with some friends, it may be the time to look elsewhere to widen your circle. If you are a parent, give your children some space and do not be overprotective.

LUCK ENHANCERS for this month:

Carry or wear the Five Element Pagoda symbol to counter the effects of the Misfortune Star. To overcome the misfortune star in your chart, cover up yourself with this beautiful five-element pagoda print.

Month 11 (Dec. 7, 2012 – Jan 5, 2013)

If you feel torn between family and career, remember that it may be just a matter of time management. You need energy for the upcoming festive season so take some time to recharge, or else your good humor might take a leave. If you’re running a business, you might need to delegate some of your responsibilities. Trust your specialists to help you and never assume that you know better because sometimes you may not.

If you have been seeing someone for some time, this may be the time to make the big move. Things turn out well for the single Ox looking for a serious relationship. Married ones, however, should work on bringing back passion into their union. Study and examination luck awaits the young Ox. You absorb knowledge easily and at this time you are inclined towards doing that. You are bound to do well in your exams.

LUCK ENHANCERS for this month:

Carry the Anti-infidelity amulet to protect your marriage and spend more time being a good partner. Wear auspicious prints of the mystic knot to maintain your stress-free relationship luck!

Month 12 (Jan 6 – Feb. 3)

You may not be the most agreeable person this period but you’ll still manage to stay on top. Keep your temper in check and keep a low profile for now. Lawsuits are possible for those in politics or business because of the presence of the quarrelsome star. Be creative in overcoming problems. It may be difficult for you to enjoy success luck because of jealousy in the workplace. You are an asset to the office, but office politics will cause you undue stress. There may be some turbulence in the love front. If you are married, this may not be such a big problem as it is to those who are just starting to date.

Try to be more sensitive to your partner’s feelings and don’t let any petty misunderstanding spoil a good relationship. The quarrelsome star may bring personality clashes between you and others. Be careful about any misunderstanding that may crop up this month. You may overcome this by wearing red to represent Fire energy.

LUCK ENHANCERS for this month:

To prevent any misunderstanding, arguments and possible legal problems, wear a lot of red with auspicious symbols especially those with fireball images! Mystic knot prints may also be incorporated into your daily fashion for some positive relationship luck

You have the essential traits of your animal zodiac sign: you can be graceful in your ways but also dangerous when provoked. You are sharp and intelligent and quick to leap to action when called for. Yet beneath that is a kind and nurturing soul that is highly protective of people close to you. Where it affects your young ones, you can be both vengeful and unrelenting. You are prone to having mercurial mood changes. Your strong self-discipline balances this, and your intense disposition can bring you good fortune. You exhibit strong inclination towards sports and have the inherent qualities of a leader. You are the person others would have around them during a crisis situation because you are quick to action and is hardly fazed. Your intensity may be intimidating to some, and people often feel fear rather than love for you. But to those who know you well, you are the loving rather than the ferocious Tiger others perceive you to be. Your family and friends are assured of protection in your company.

Month 1 (Feb. 4 – Mar. 5)
The Five Yellow Star appears early in your chart. Resist the urge to flaunt your wealth or else you might attract jealous reactions. This is not the time to share your good ideas.

Don’t run away from responsibilities. Stay out of trouble and buckle down to real work.
Don’t act on impulse if something upsets you. Your mood swings won’t help and will only push your partner away from you. Be careful of what you say because it has a way of seriously damaging your relationship. You shouldn’t be caught unprepared. How you do in a surprise test will have a bigger impact than you think. Don’t let this bad month get your moods down. When luck flies out, put in more hard work.

You can still turn hostilities around if you don’t get overly worked up. You still have the number 8 star to balance things out. Success in business continues to come in, but don’t assume that things will work out by themselves. Legal issues are possible and if they do materialize, hire a proper lawyer. Be careful about new contracts that may cause misunderstandings.
Any new relationship will face some difficulties. It would require a lot of emotional investment, and you are not in your best form in that aspect. Single Tigers should remain so, while married ones should be more tolerant of their partners. Be on guard against the stubborn need to be right always. Working with others may prove difficult at this time, so try to plan your work such that you are not in other people’s way. Things will get better next month.
