Your destiny Stars & psychics
With Chinese New Year kicking off on January 28, Jenny Blume predicts what the year of the rooster has in store for you, according to your Chinese zodiac sign
RAT Born in: 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008
Opportunity is knocking, so be prepared to act quickly. Your reputation precedes you, but with your combination of charm, curiosity and intelligence, that’s no surprise. It’s a loved-up “peach blossom year”, so romantic winds will be blowing. Moneywise, rein in that excess spending.
OX Born in: 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009
Put in the groundwork? Then you’re in for a bumper year. Your efforts will reap rewards, not just on the business front, but socially too. Singles might be swept off their feet, while couples may rekindle romance on holiday. Sounds too good to be true? With lucky stars overhead, the sky’s the limit.
TIGER Born in: 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998
“You’re gonna hear me roar” might become your 2017 anthem! As you embrace your inner tigress, your renewed confidence and zest for life will be clear to all; you might even score a win or promotion at work. An urge to travel or expand your horizons might get you excited, but play it safe on the financial front.
RABBIT Born in: 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999
Being gentle, peace-loving creatures, Rooster years can feel a tad exhausting for Rabbits. If you feel like burrowing down, don’t fight it. Cooking, gardening, writing… let creative juices flow. Leave risky ventures for another year and focus on things you love most, especially your home and family.
DRAGON Born in: 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000
Luck and prosperity are flowing into your chart, but the key for you is balance. Along with your investment portfolio, focus on building healthy, supportive relationships. With such lucky stars, you may even find love.
SNAKE Born in: 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001
If you’re after fame and fortune, this might be your lucky year. As your star rises, promotions and prizes could be on the cards; at the very least, you’ll score compliments and win hearts. Single Snakes may find themselves spoilt for choice, but with cupid playing mischievous tricks, watch out if you’re attached!
HORSE Born in: 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002
Life may feel hectic, but once you rein in that impatient streak, your career and finances should flourish; you might even be rewarded with a mind-clearing trip away. Resist the urge to take on renos or extra projects this year. Instead, nurture your close relationships – like a beautiful garden, they need lashings of TLC.
GOAT Born in: 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003
You’re a pillar of strength for others, just remember to nurture yourself too. Overwork could lead to tiredness or poor health, so factor in lots of R&R. Head to the great outdoors or tap into those creative juices. As you unwind, you’ll draw interesting people to you. Things could even turn romantic!
MONKEY Born in: 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004 Let the good times roll! These social stars look like fun, but don’t let that exuberant streak lead you astray – make it a goal to save more than you spend. Luckily, your problem-solving skills should see you in high demand, both at work and privately. Relationships formed under these fated skies could change your life! ROOSTER Born in: 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005 If you’ve been lacking motivation, this is your year! As your mojo returns, projects will be tackled with ease, and as your fortunes rise, rewards should flow your way. Success and accolades are yours for the taking, but play it safe on the financial front and make time for loved ones. Wear a dragon pendant for extra luck.
DOG Born in: 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006
Tempting opportunities await, just don’t bite off more than you can chew. Overwork could lead to tiredness or health problems, but on the flipside, new diets and exercise regimens might work wonders. As you take control of your life, others will follow your lead. Start talking and sharing… you’ve got so much to give. PIG Born in: 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007 Movement is swirling this year, so try to flow with it. Relocations, holidays, weekends away, or perhaps even a new career. Sound exhausting? Relax, your energy levels are on the rise. If you’ve been feeling restless, dive into something that stimulates the mind or body; for singles, there might be an added incentive.
