Dragon‍

The Dragon will assert their originality in all areas of life in 2020. By becoming surer of themselves and their ideas, the Dragon will exceed in expressing innovative ideas and progressive beliefs in both work and at home. This newfound individualism will be met with both admiration and resistance. In terms of dealing with the latter, it is crucial that the Dragon is willing to moderate any overly radical opinions and to tread carefully in debate so as not to offend others. Beware Dragons: by refusing to compromise on your ideas, you will end up antagonising those who are only trying to help you. 

In general, your confidence and intelligence will be acknowledged by those around you, particularly by superiors at work, which in turn might lead to professional advancement. If a friend or lover refers you for a new job, take care in committing to any big changes. In turn, this diligence will be rewarded with money making opportunities in the not so distant future. Be conscientious of your spending, save money for future investments and take courage in pursuing new social activities; the result of which will be finding new companions with whom you share similar interests and ideas. ‍

Snake‍

The Snake should be prepared for a life-changing year in 2020. By discovering new hobbies, enjoying new experiences and accumulating more close friends, the Snake will end the year with a better understanding of what they wish to achieve in life. 

The Snake’s natural generosity will express itself in the service of others; however, be careful that your kind and giving nature is not taken advantage of. If you are already in a romantic relationship, be sure to stick with that person through the rainier days; have faith that sunshine is on the horizon. 

While the Snake is inclined to follow through with everything they undertake in terms of work, do not fear the idea of giving up on something, especially if doing so will grant you more happiness in the long run. Believe in the idea that others will trust your decision-making and will support you in whatever you do. Those that cannot do so are not worth having in your life. The troubles you encounter - in terms of money and work - will be overcome. Take note of what you learn from these experiences, as they will be valuable lessons for future obstacles. ‍

Horse‍

The Horse should prepare for unexpected surprises in 2020. Despite their tendency to worry about the unknown, the Horse will do well to embrace unforeseen circumstances and react to them accordingly.

New opportunities at work might seem abundant. However, don’t expect current professional pressures to melt away with the acceptance of a new role. In fact, these concerns are more likely to increase. Instead of resisting challenge, embrace these obstacles and persevere in the face of hardship. The Horse - the most independent of the Chinese Zodiacs - demonstrates an impressive capacity for thinking and responding quickly to any given circumstance. Be sure to use this cunning mind and keen nature to tackle all professional problems head on.

Although the Horse’s choices usually work out for the best, in 2020 it is important to be wary of making any hot-tempered decisions, particularly in one’s love life. Be sincere and proactive in looking for new friends or romantic partners and try casting the social net wider in order to meet people with whom you share little common ground. You never know, you might find just what you were looking for.‍

Sheep‍

The Sheep is often known as the most indecisive and anxious worrier of the Chinese Zodiacs. However, have no fear: 2020 is set to be a year of good wealth, health and travel for this Zodiac. 

An introvert by nature, the Sheep will observe a number of significant shifts in relation to their social circle, in which old friends may grow apart and new friends may appear. Embrace these changes with an open mind and forgiving heart; for these adjustments are natural and will allow you to grow as an individual. 

As a result of the Sheep’s need to be loved by those around them, it is common for them to side with the majority in all areas of conversation. However, in order to experience a greater sense of individuality and freedom in 2020, the Sheep must make an active effort to use their wisdom and empathy to stand up for what they believe is right. In doing so, the Sheep may be noticed by superiors at work as someone to entrust with more responsibility, possibly resulting in a bigger salary or managing a larger team.

By balancing their work life and social activities, the Sheep will succeed in looking after both body and mind in 2020. Perhaps even consider planning a trip away with someone you love - either a friend, family member or romantic interest; for it is these experiences that you will remember forever.

Monkey‍

For the Monkey - typically known as the fun-loving centre of attention - 2020 will be an opportunity to harness new skills as well as show off existing ones. 

Although an active effort might be necessary to achieve certain professional goals in the upcoming year, if the Monkey is able to remain calm when confronted with challenges - and act rather than panic - then they will be rewarded with pragmatic solutions and effective outcomes. Such innovative behaviour will no doubt attract attention from those around them; but remember, indulging in arrogance will damage one’s relationships with colleagues. Be humble in accepting compliments, take note of constructive criticism and always think carefully before you speak. In turn, you will earn a reputable status at work, which may eventually lead to professional advancement. 

Throughout next year, the Monkey should trust in the idea that life is a cycle of renewal and change: upheavals (particularly in terms of romantic relationships) might seem stressful at the time, but ultimately, they allow for personal growth and progress. True love might take longer to find; however, 2020 is a time to nurture the friendships and familial bonds that you consider most important. ‍

Rooster‍

Throughout 2020, it would be wise for the Rooster to focus predominantly on their relationships with other people. 

Whether in work, love affairs or family life, the Rooster would do well to make decisions by first foreseeing the consequences they will have on the people around them. By making it their best interest to think of the needs of others, and being generous with their time and care, the Rooster is likely to be met with greater fortune, particularly in terms of successful investments. 

Always proud of his fine feathers, there is a tendency for the Rooster’s pride to be misconceived as arrogance. However, 2020 is an apt opportunity to do away with these misgivings and demonstrate an empathetic nature and compassionate heart. By paying compliments when they are due, listening to the worries of others and keeping each and every promise, the Rooster might just find a companion (whether a lover or a friend) who will stand by them through thick and thin. 

If a Rooster is struggling with a decision at work, don’t fear asking for the input of others: accept help when it is offered, trust in their advice and one will learn that life is much more enjoyable when you’ve got people supporting you on either side. ‍

Dog‍

The Dog’s honest and faithful nature will be rewarded by good luck in most areas of their life in 2020. 

At work and at home, the Dog will continue to be the first to highlight any blatant wrongdoings. This honest and proactive response to injustice will be recognised by superiors at work, potentially resulting in greater professional responsibility. However, during 2020, the Dog would be wise to protect his own interests as much as he protects the interests of others, particularly in relation to romantic love. 

Desperate for the affection of others, the Dog might fall hopelessly in love with an ill-suited companion, who is likely to take advantage of the Dog’s selfless personality. As a result, the Dog would do well to not be distracted by appearance and superficiality in 2020, and instead to identify the qualities they most admire in another person. Be patient in finding the right person, and your patience will be rewarded. 

If the Dog is wise enough to adapt to new challenges that arise in 2020 - in both professional, familial and romantic circumstances - then the Dog will strengthen their sense of individuality, as well as develop two key qualities: the art of patience and the ability to make sensible decisions. ‍

Pig‍

The Pig is predicted to experience an extremely lucky year in 2020. After a rather tumultuous 2019, the Pig will begin to feel more level-headed and self-assured as the Chinese New Year commences. 

Honesty, purity and simplicity should be the Pig’s priorities in all aspects of life during the Year of the Rat. Take time to reconnect with nature, catch up with old friends and spend time doing activities you enjoy the most; particularly those you haven’t recently had time for.

Although significant changes at work might not be readily available, 2020 is an opportunity for the Pig to reset life. By harnessing their optimistic outlook in everything they do, the Pig can bring vast joy to those around them by focusing on the immediate present rather than the distant future. 

The Pig is likely to be met with harsh competitors when looking for a romantic partner. However, it is important to acknowledge one’s own personal value and have faith that everything will work out for the best. Do not hesitate to appreciate the achievements of others, but also take time to acknowledge your own successes and admirable qualities. By showing extra courage in social situations and pursuing new friendships with vigour, 2020 will be a satisfying and fun-filled year for the Pig.
