The Chinese Zodiac Astrology is ancient, interesting, accurate and loved by millions across the world. The Chinese Zodiac is based on cyclic concept of time : a cycle of 12 years, repeated again and again. The 12 Years are associated with 12 Celestial Animals : Rat (or Mouse on Mongoose), Ox (or Buffalo or Bull or Cow), Tiger, Rabbit (or Hare or Cat), Dragon, Snake (or Serpent), Horse, Goat (or Sheep or Ram), Monkey, Rooster (or Hen or Cock or Chicken or Phoenix), Dog and Pig (or Boar or Hog). The animal names occasionally differ with the Oriental Country they originate. The Chinese Yearly Horoscopes are basically built around these 12 Animal Signs.

CAREER

2008 is an Year-Breaker for the Horse Sign. It means that it will be a harsh and turbulent year with many difficulties to face and many obstacles to cross. You will be completely on your own with little or no help from others. Extremely careful planning, patience and compromise on your ego is needed just to stay floating. Your efforts will have to be doubled and tripled for achieving even the basic tasks. Think thrice before you decide on anything, as your thoughts will be clouded and your judgements may be prejudiced. Events will happen in great speed and you will struggle to keep pace. Unfair criticisms and provocative gossips will be hurled at you. Your views will be disputed and your every word will be turned against you. Avoid arguments and ignore challenges. Place a Rose Quartz Crystal Ball or Egg in the West, to resolve gossips and arguments. Keep to yourself and spend more time in developing strategies. Check your temper and avoid rash moves. Poison letters and sex scandals will rock you. Even legal suits are a possibility. Most of you will be on continuous travels. Many of you will shift your home or office. Try and avoid going straight towards the North direction as it is the direction of the Grand Duke in 2008. Draw comfort from the thought that you are preparing the ground for a better 2009. The employed will be at the receiving end from both the superiors and their subordinates. Unreasonable demands will be made in the office. To shield you from the amalgamated negative energies ruling your career, display the statues of Monkey on Elephant or Money Frog on Elephant along with the Great KuanKung. Carry three of the Rising Dragon Coins with you. The self-employed will find themselves under constant fire from the customers as well as from the employees. If fail-proof plans are not devised and implemented, there could be some permanent damages. Tremendous amount of management skills will be required to win back clients and retain employees. To command respect and to get guidance at the right time, exhibit the statue of the Great Kuan Kung in the North West and to avoid losing track of your primary goals, carry a set of 3 Fortune Flower Coins with you. To tide over this critical year more smoothly, install the special Sacred Geometry Yantra for overcoming blocks and obstacles.

Important : Last but not the least, your Celestial Animal Horse is directly in "conflict" with the Year TaiSui of 2008 (Grand Duke Jupiter). Whether you are a salaried worker or self-employed, you need to not only avoid the wrath but also pacify and get the blessings of the Tai Sui, to avoid permanent damages. For this display the genuine, energized photographs of "Ying Ban, the 2008 TaiSui" and the "Protection Talisman for 2008" in the North and carry their miniature versions in your pocket or purse. Avoid attending cremation rituals or burial ceremonies this year.

MONEY

Money luck will be stable but blind trust and unstable emotions will cause you huge monetary losses. You will be lured into fraud investments and financial traps very easily. Lavish spending and large purchases will deplete your financial resources. You have zero windfall luck this year - stay away from gambling and stock markets. Illicit thoughts of making easy but illegal money will land law suits in your lap. Plan your budget wisely and have a tight control over your spending. If you need to sign an agreement, go through the fine print with a lens before signing on the dotted line. Plant a Double Phoenix Coins Tree and place a set of three 4 Guardian Kings Coins, for minimizing expenses.

HEALTH

The year 2008 will exhaust you both physically and mentally. High stress and turbulent emotions will lead to indigestion, insomnia and erratic heartbeats. Do not overindulge in tobacco, alcohol and sex. Practice safe sex to guard against sexually transmitted diseases. Watch your steps, you are likely to get tripped and fall. Sprains, cuts and bleeds are possible many times during the year. Avoid high risk sports especially water sports to avoid risking injuries. You can possibly pre-empt the destined bloodshed by donating your blood voluntarily. Drive slowly and carefully. Accidents during traveling and driving are possible. Watch out for the health of your spouse and elders too. Better install a Brass Five Element Pagoda Tower and keep a set of three Sau Health Coins under your bed. Put a green mat or carpet in the center of your home to resolve the many conflicting energies.

LOVE

For singles, there will be very many romantic encounters but none will last enough to form any stable relationships. Chances of marrying and settling down are quite slim. There are no third party interference here - only your short temper and an inner sense of insecurity that blocks you taking the final step. Try carrying a set of 3 Dragon & Phoenix Medallions. The married will find rumors ruining their relationships. Be disciplined. Refrain from infidelity. A moment of illicit happiness will cause you a lifetime of regret. Display the statues of Male QuiYong on Dragon and Female QuiYong on Phoenix in the South West of your bedroom and place a set of three Harmony Coins under your bed, for improving the marital harmony. You need to cherish and nurture the harmony at home, at least in order to support your career.

STUDIES

Low spirits and fluctuating moods prevent you from concentrating on your studies. Lack of understanding and proper communications with your fellow students, teachers and parents seems to have brought you a sense of isolation. Do not bury yourself in desperation or forget yourself with deep net browsing. Romance too is not a solution for your problems. There is no escape from the situation but to face the problem squarely and realize that academic pursuit supercedes everything at this age. Avoid water sports. Displaying the Dragon Head Turtle carrying Pagoda Tower in the North East and carrying a set of 3 QuiYong Coins will help you in these troubled times.
