Last year, in the year of the Ox, the Goat was “tsong Tai Siu” (in opposition to the Deity of the Year), where there were difficulties, obstacles and changes. However, in the year of the Tiger, there are more good stars shining on the Goat, and though there are some bad stars this year, the year of Tiger will be a much better year than last year. At first, there may be some obstacles, but they can usually be overcome. At very least, this is a year where returns tend to be consistent with input effort. Now, when luck turns good, the Goat should have some more courage to act, to switch jobs or even start a new business. However, the Goat may feel some hesitation with obstacles in the beginning, especially with disagreements with family over changes in jobs, for example. Your partner and/or parents will tend to give advice and may discourage the Goat in his/her decisions to make changes, which can throw off the Goat's perfectly good plans. Therefore, it is best that the Goat makes his/her own decisions as to what is best for him/herself. Because of the bad stars, the Goat should try to be happier and participate in celebrations and parties, for example weddings, house warmings etc., to bring better luck.

In terms of financial luck, it is a year of initial obstacles, then subsequently things will go smoothly. The Goat will tend to bring more luck to others than to him/herself, where the Goat will help others more than be helped by others. Therefore, don't fight with others for number. If the Goat can work hard at doing work behind the scenes or an assisting role, there will be greater and more long-term gains. If the Goat is willing to work abroad, for example in a small town, then there can be more substantial returns. The Goat will do well in commercial and trading industries as well as those related to wood and water elements, for example entertainment, tourism, seafood, insurance, construction, printing, and wood products, where there will be more progress and gains. If the Goat can improved networking and make more friends, will make the Goat happier, but do not have high expectations of these people because the Goat will end up help them, but they won't be able to or don't want to help the Goat in return. So as long as the Goat treats these people as acquaintances and not close friends, the Goat will be happier.

Gossip is also a problem for the Goat this year, so the Goat needs to think before he/she speaks. The Goat will need to be especially cautious about what is said to clients and superiors, and to have good, appropriate communication etiquette. Do not step over the boundaries and elevate yourself in front of superiors and with people under you, maintain an appropriate level of authority. If people you manage make a mistake, it is best dealt with promptly and to point out the mistake, which will better for the situation and relationship.

The Goat's financial luck this year is one of initial challenges, which are subsequently overcome. Financial luck in the first half of the year is unstable. In terms of investments, buying/selling, stocks and currencies, the Goat needs to be cautious of documentation and contract errors, as well as cons. Remember, greed can lead to poverty. With business and partnerships, there is a risk of failure due to relationships with the opposite sex. As a result, it is best if the Goat does not cooperate with or partner with, or serve as a guarantor for the opposite sex. The relationship may also cause a lapse in judgment, leading to errors in investing. Therefore, the Goat may have failure due to the opposite sex. It is better for the Goat in the first half of the year to make long-term investments. The last half of the year may have opportunities for fast money from side employment or from investments. Remember to cash in and stop when there are good returns, as this type of fast money tends to be short-lived. It is best to invest in real estate and bonds, more long term, less liquid investments. Plans need to be made to save, as good luck does not last forever and will disappear before you know it.

There are relationship opportunities for the Goat this year, but the problem is that the Goat is not very focused on the happiness that relationships can bring due to being to involved and busy with work. So as a result, even though there are great opportunities for love, being too busy pushes them away. The single Goat should try to find a partner for a long term relationship. If the Goat has met the right person, he/she needs to work harder this year to pursue marriage. The Goat needs to set aside time and effort to make the relationship work, or else once the opportunity has passed, it will be too late. Not only will marriage improve relationship and career luck, it will also improve the Goat's temperament. The married Goat will have temptations from love outside the marriage and if mismanaged and the Goat gets entangled in an affair, not only will it destroy the family, career and reputation, it may also lead to physical injury and legal problems. The female Goat will tend to be temperamental, moody and overly sensitive, creating an atmosphere difficult for her partner to tolerate and may push him away to some else's arms.

For health this year, there is risk of scarring to the face, as well as surgery. Avoid sharp objects, high risk activities and places, as well as being careful in traffic. The Goat may have excessive stress which may lead to cardiovascular illnesses. Other than being vigilant about diet and lifestyle, because there is a higher risk of injury, donating blood can help dissolve of that risk.
