2014 Chinese Animal Predictions for the Rat

To summarize the Rats career in 2014, this is a year to build relations and take charge of opportunities but always keep your wits about you and read the small print. With the increasing studies and socializing this year, please remember to take time out for partners as there is risk of overworking  and becoming too occupied in your own affairs and letting your relationship dissipate in 2014.

(from  http://www.fengshuiweb.co.uk/advice/chineseanimals2014/rat.htm)

• The Rat will have had a few ups and downs in 2014 but the good news is that you should find that all the work you put in during 2013 with your career and social life in particular, could start to pay off at the beginning of the year.
• You may see yourself become quite the socialite and see a big rise in popularity but please be aware that 2014 will not be the greatest of year for the Rat as they are the conflict animal for the Horse year, You would do well to use this to your advantage as this is a great time for networking with new people and this will also be a great opportunity to make new friends so attend as much as you can this year but only as much as finances and lifestyle will allow.
• Although 2014 will not be the greatest of years for the Rat as they are the conflict animal for the Horse year, there will still be some good parts to the year and you should find April 2014 to be a good month for socializing.
• If you are able to seek and take advice from others, you will find that this really helps in many aspects of your life by strengthening and attracting relationships with others and sharing good news with others around you.
• Please remember your existing friends and family in 2014 as this year can be a great year to spend time with loved ones and strengthen relationships with close ones and 2014 would be a great year for a family vacation which the Rat would do well organising.
• This year, the Rat would be smart to take the help of others and not try to stay independent as the Rat has the ability to do better this year with the help of others and you may find yourself isolated if you do not accept the help and companionship. With career in 2014, the Rat will need to keep an eye out for new opportunities which can help to build your career in the coming year.
• 2014 can help the Rat grow their knowledge and skills and put them to use in the upcoming year. Where risks are concerned, the Rat would be wise to weigh up all the pros and cons before going ahead with big decisions in their career  as there is a risk of this backfiring if it is not thought through.
• Please remember to always read the small print and check over the terms and conditions. You would also do well to seek advice from others if you are ever in doubt and seeking help from others will help you build relationships while also getting helpful advice.
• If you are seeking a promotion in 2014, you may find yourself becoming frustrated with the competition; I am not saying do not go for the promotion but please be aware of the people you are up against and study when possible to get the advantage on the opposition.
• 2014 is a fantastic year of learning for the Rat and can really be of benefit if you are motivated and wish to further your education and your studies will really bring out the best in you. You may find that some plans may not work out how you originally wished but they have the ability to be replaced with new opportunities that can work to your advantage.
•  This year can be a good year for relationships for the Rat if they read this advice; please remember that there is a risk of ignoring your loved one this year and that you should always remember to take time out to spend time with your partner and take them along to enjoy your increased social life so as not to hurt their feelings and make them feel alone. If you follow this advice, you should find that you are able to strengthen your relationship with your partner and attract a new strong relationship if you are a single Rat.
• The Rat will need to keep a close eye on finances throughout the year as there is risk of not reading the fine print or terms and conditions which is also applicable to work life so please make sure that you do your research when making big investments or taking out loans.
• With your increased social life, it would be wise to save where possible although you can take this whichever suits your lifestyle.
• You could use this year to spend time with loved ones and use some savings on trips and social events with friends and family but if you do not have a great deal of disposable income, try to limit your spending where possible and hunt around for the best deals.
• To summarise the year, I would recommend keeping your wits about you and try to focus on what you want in life and spend as much time with loved ones and friends as possible.
• Study will greatly be of benefit of to you this year and will help you get far in the work place in 2014. Have a successful and prosperous year. As a Rat you are in affinity with the Ox. For your protection, you should have a key chain pendant of an Ox with you at all times throughout the year in 2014.

2012 Predictions for Horse

2012 will be a mixed year for the horse this year and I would advise all Horses to be careful throughout 2012 although it has the potential to be a great year. If success is to be attained, it should be approached with a calm pace and you should not rush in to anything as 2012 brings a chance for the Horse to lose wealth when hastily jumping in to a new venture.”

 

• It really will be a mixed year but overall you will be just fine. Concentration and hard work are a must in order for it to be a successful year.
• Beware of over-indulgence and be sure to eat plenty of healthy food and get lots of exercise in 2012.
• You will also find it hard to retain money so keep a tight rein on expenses to get the best out of this year.
• This may be a year for saving rather than acquiring. Do not make judgements on others at work too hastily and exercise patience especially at home for there are indications of possible disharmony both at work and at home.
• There will be opportunities for the Horse to develop and climb higher on the work ladder in 2012 but please approach opportunities with caution as this can lead to arguments if you do not keep calm in times of stress and deadlines.
• This is a year of carefulness; avoid risks both physically and financially although Horse born in 1942 can expect some windfall.
• In April and May you can expect some good news but you must make of the most of the good times as there are some months you will need to stay strong, follow the advice monthly on this website and place your annual cures and enhancers.
• Stay focused this year, there is nothing to worry about just think about all your actions.
• Horse born in 1942 and 1990 should be careful of health in 2012 and try and make some changes to your lifestyle especially if you have a bad diet or smoke, lung problems are a potential danger to Horse born in 1954 so please take note and if you are still smoking now is a good time to give up.
• Too often the Horse will spend a lot of time helping others without any thanks but remember to the world, you may be one person, but to one person, you may be the world, you cannot please everyone, concentrate on those that matter most and this also includes YOU.
• You are in affinity with the Sheep/Goat. For your protection, you should have a key chain pendant of a Goat.
