CAREER

A rewarding year in which you can register excellent career growth - if you can master the keys to it : timely exploitation of opportunities, hard work, perseverance and good relationships. You are in "union" with the presiding TaiSui of 2008, which implies stability, fewer changes and better interpersonal equations. If you are being employed, get ready to shoulder more responsibilities and discharge your duties with utmost care. Expectations will be high, but you have what is needed, can deliver irrespective of what it takes and get the recognition too, but you have to avoid the complacency, go with the whole team and maintain cordiality with subordinates as well as superiors. Think before you speak. Do not ignore friendly advice and guidance. New male friendships may even bring you better career opportunities. Powerful males will come to help you. You will shine in the current position and many of you will get a promotion with a pay rise too. If you are looking for a job change or venturing into your own business, then this is the right time for doing it. Beware of falling into office love traps. Carry a set of 3 Fortune Flower Coins to get enough success luck to achieve your goals and targets. If you are self-employed, you will see a vertical growth with a lot of expansions under the guidance of mentors. But customer satisfaction, competition and employee retention will be worrying factors. Install the exclusive Sacred Geometry Yantra specially focused on this, to minimize your problems. Males will have better luck than the females, this year. The females will also face more betrayals than the males, this year. Many of you will get the opportunities to develop your personal skills or get initiated into new skills this year - make full use of them - you will be needing them in the immediate future.

MONEY

Good fortune follows you throughout the year. You will also supplement the income by putting into profitable use, a creative idea of your own. The problem here is not the money flow, which will be ample but your overspending of it. Prudent financial management is needed including cutting down superfluous expenses. A set of three 4 Heavenly Kings' Coins will help you a lot in this direction. Invest only in short term projects. If money is your main business, then you better install a Double Phoenix Coin Tree along with a Frogs Trio or Frogs Duo statue, to hang onto your current financial standing. If you are a regular trader in the share markets, you do not have much windfall luck this year and you might want to carry a set of 3 Nanbu Windfall Luck Coins always with you. Stay away from casinos. Take precaution against raids, wealth should not be flaunted.

HEALTH

No signs of any major health problems. Avoid food excesses and stay away from stimulants like tobacco and alcohol. Do not over speed when driving, in order to avoid accidents and/or legal summons. Meditate to get relief from the work stress. Rest and relax. If you feel the need, display the statue of QuanYin, for getting mental peace. Especially those born in 1913, 1949 and 1973. If you are a female born in 1961 or 1973, be on your guard against gynecological ailments.

LOVE

For singles looking for a mate or marriage, there are some opportunities, though not powerful enough. Some of you may fall to love plots. For the married ones, there could be many harmony problems at home. Spend more quality time with your family and children and voluntarily seek their support and understanding of your necessity in spending long hours on your career. Even the smallest negligence on your part will provoke deep dissension. Avoid lustful behavior and one-night stands. Watch out for female back-stabbers. Place the statues of Male QuiYong on Dragon and Female QuiYong on Phoenix in the South West of your bedroom and keep a set of three Harmony Coins under your bed, for improving the marital harmony. If you were born in 1973, avoid flirtations - love triangles will lead to the worst family situations. Carry a set of three QuiYong Coins to avoid thoughts of infidelity.

STUDIES

Good examination luck, but you need to concentrate on your studies. A good year for social networking but avoid distracting relationships. Ban thoughts of romance and steer clear of the adult web sites, when browsing. Running away from school or home will not solve your problems. Guard against love traps to preserve chastity. You need an enormous amount of will power and determination to stay on course, this year. Beware of mugging and robbery. Males will perform better than the females. Wear a specially programmed Black Tourmaline Crystal Pendant around your neck, to balance your Chakras, discipline your thoughts and bring in focus.
