The Chinese Zodiac is an ancient and accurate system used by millions throughout the world. Chinese astrology is based on cycles: a cycle of twelves years, continually repeated. The 12 Chinese astrology years are symbolized by twelve Celestial Animals : Rat (Mouse, Mongoose), Ox (Buffalo, Bull, Cow), Tiger, Rabbit (Hare, Cat), Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat (Sheep, Ram), Monkey, Rooster (Chicken, Cock, Phoenix), Dog and Pig (Hog, Boar). The animal names sometimes differ with the country they originate. The Chinese Yearly Horoscopes are constructed around these 12 Animal Signs.

Your Chinese Astrological Zodiac Animal Sign is derived from the Chinese Lunar Year of Birth that you were born. The Chinese New Year changes and could start anywhere between 21st January and 20th February, depending upon the year. If your Date of Birth falls into any of the following Chinese Lunar Years, then, if you are born in the Year of the Goat, you are identified by your Celestial Animal, the Goat.

In Chinese Hsia Calender, 2007 is the 4704th year and significantly, is also the fourth year of the New Feng Shui Land Luck Cyclic Period 8. The forthcoming new Chinese Lunar Year is from 18th February 2007 to 6th February 2008. The next Chinese New Year, the Yang Earth Rat will begin on 7th February 2008.

CAREER A still year with little progress and rewards. You need to work hard without much luck and results. With strong self-belief, change your approach from last year and move boldly. But keep a low profile, as you will be lacking the support of your many friends, this year. Remain cool and collected, as you are bound to find opposition from external sources as well as within your own circle. Stay away from conflicts and refuse to be provoked into disputes. Gossips will surround you to choking level. You will be isolated and ostracised. Accept opportunities to travel abroad, as they could bring you some welcome change. Install the Kuan Kung figurine in North West to watch over you. Employees will be better off than the self-employed with some of them even managing to get some promotions. No job change or career change is advised. If you are in the line of travels, transportation, tourism, promotional agency and real estates, you could do well. Most of you will spend more time in pursuing knowledge in the fields of religion, spirituality and seek metaphysical answers. In 2007, you are being "eyed" by certain shady, scheming characters - display the icon or genuine photo of the White Tiger, for your personal safety.

MONEY Stagnant cash flow with little or no income through other sources. Do not look for short term returns and make wrong investments lest you loose your little all. You do not enjoy any windfall luck this year so keep away from gambling and paper securities. Do not spend on luxuries. Plan your budget stringently and stick to it. Keep a set of 3 "Four Guardian Kings" Coins for retaining control over money.

HEALTH Overall stress will play havoc with your physical and mental health. Most of you will face problems related to hysteria, nervous systems, viral infections and insomnia. Take proper treatments. Spend quality time in exercises and meditation. If you are to travel, take a medical kit with you. Install the statue of the Quan Yin in the North West of your bedroom, for mental peace. If you were born in 1967, you could be hospitalised for quite some time, this year. Parents of children born in 2003 should pay special attention and guard them from strangers and people with evil intentions.

LOVE A wrong type of romantic luck would induce you to form relationships with the very young or love somebody much older than you. Relationships will not be smooth. Rumours will sow doubts and your moodiness and communication gaps will instigate conflicts and clashes at home. Be patient and swallow the insults. Trust and allow yourself to be trusted. Display the icon of Three Generations Dragon Head Turtles in the East of your living room and a pair of Pink Mandarin Ducks in the South West of your bedroom.

STUDIES Many events including interrogations by teachers, reproaches by parents, provocations from fellow students play with your emotions and distract you away from your studies. Do not slack off. Stay away from socialising, this year. Install a Green Aventurine or Green Jade Pagoda in the North East of your study room and focus only on achieving results in your exams.
