Ushering the Year Of The Dog
Permanent link ▫ ▫  
If you're interested after reading THIS POST of mine, this is the one stop post for all about Chinese Zodiac signs and what the year of the dog, beginning this Sunday will bring to us all. Like I said, dragons will suffer and my only advice after reading bad news for us dragons, HIBERNATE. That's the only way to survive this year. Before you got for your predictions and all, a note of caution; don't take these seriously eventhough I may be taking it seriously. Ok? Now if you're new to this; check the following information first. 1. Know your zodiac sign
Which of the 12 signs are you? Check HERE. Make sure you remember a simple rule; before Chinese New Year you belong to the previous year's animal sign eventhough you may be born in the year after. For example, you're born Jan 1st 2006. Sorry friend, you're not under the dog sign but previous year's sign since Chinese New Year has yet to pass. 2. Know your elementYou can be wood, metal, fire, earth, water and you can even be more specific but let's not be that specific. Once you know your sign, check HERE for your element by choosing your zodiac sign and then look at the top table for your month of birth. 3. Read about your zodiac sign
You may want to know more what governs your sign, personality, compatible animals and what nots. You can read them at the place you checked your elemt in no. 2 above that is HERE. 4. Dog Year generally
Year of the Fire Dog - What the masters sayTo most of us, fire spells danger. Truly, the Year of the Fire Dog (Jan 29, 2006 to Feb 17, 2007) seems to be too hot to handle and portends danger! With the rising costs of living and transport fares, the public’s perception of the year is one of pessimism.And those who are luckless this year will be dogged by worries. Chinese astrologers say that those born in the Year of the Dog are in conflict with the Grand Duke of Jupiter or Year Duty God (Tai Sui in Cantonese). Even Dragon people too are said to clash with the Year Duty God. To minimise bad luck, people born in the Year of the Dog and the Dragon should flock to temples for prayers!“It’s generally not a good year. It is a year of general conflicts and there will be a lot of quarrelsome activities and misunderstandings. Negotiating contracts will be tough,” says geomancer master Yap Boh Chu, son of renowned feng shui grandmaster Yap Cheng Hai, who runs a feng shui academy in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. [ Source]
Not bad enough for some of you? Check out the individual forecasts.
5. Individual forecastsThe following are more or less like the ones I read in local newspaper that did not mince its words. Original source is HERE. If you can't take bad news (especially for Dragons, Dogs, Ox), there are some gentler versions but not quite the same as I have read in the papers. Well I am shaking with dread for the new year. Generally, great year for snakes, tigers, average year for ox but bad bad year for dragons and dogs. Here goes ...  DOG
Your Career Outlook
2006 is a year when you need to proceed with caution. Unfortunately the year may be fraught with difficulties. You may find office politics rampant in your workplace and there are a lot of conflicts among the staff. Be alert and be more diplomatic to avoid offending your superiors or co-workers. One of them may bear a grudge and find ways and means to get back at you. Be more selective of your friends or you may end up mixing with bad company. This is especially true if you are still young and impressionable. Months that are relatively more favourable are February, March, June, November and December. Your Wealth OutlookThis will be a difficult year for you to accumulate wealth. If you are currently employed and have a stable income, you should try to maintain status quo and not make any rash decision that may jeopardize your stable income. Avoid making substantial financial investments and definitely steer clear of speculative activities such as gambling because your wealth luck this year is very weak. Try to be prudent in your spending and put aside some of your income as savings. Monitor your finances closely so that you will not have financial difficulties. Your Health OutlookYour health outlook this year does not look very promising either. You are prone to mishaps and accidents. Try not to engage in dangerous activities such as extreme sports. Always be safe than sorry. Do not drive after you drink. Stay away from drugs and do not engage in unprotected sex with multiple sex partners. Lead a healthy lifestyle by having a good diet, exercising regularly and sleeping well to build up your body’s resistance to diseases. Your Romance Outlook
You may be feeling vexed and lousy about yourself because of your run of bad luck this year. You have to try your best to lift up your spirit. Otherwise people will be put off by your negative behaviour. This may prevent you from meeting prospective love interests if you are single. If you are already in a relationship, your negativity may distance you from your partner. Do not take your anger out on others too. You are not just being unfair to the person on the receiving end, you are also jeopardizing your chances of a good relationship.  DRAGON
