In the previous year, the year of the Pig, it was the year of "fan Tai Sui" where the Pig was in opposition to the Deity of the Year and within that year, there were various changes and obstacles. But in the year of the Rat, there is a change in luck where career and finances will have fairly good development. If the Pig is willing to work hard and with the help of others, things should generally go well and even at times, luck will be so good that it is almost unbelievable; however, it is also important to keep a low profile this year. This is a particularly good year for those in leadership positions, for example the military, police, and politics, as well as in accounting, banking, and actuaries, etc. where fortune will be good and reputation established.
Knowing that this will be a good year, the Pig must not get lazy; it is still important to be adaptable, to work hard and to not be afraid of competition. If the Pig becomes lazy and is afraid of putting out effort, then the good luck will turn bad. On the other hand, if the Pig is insistent on being narrow-minded overly confident about his/her decision and places all energy and resources to that direction, despite being against the advice of others, then it may not be so good. In actions and dealing with others, the bigger picture and harmony for the majority should be priority. In gaining support from superiors, colleagues and clients, the improved networking and support can help the Pig achieve his/her goals from many years of hard work. There will be people who will help you, give you advice and take care of you. The Pig should also take the attitude of being happy when good things happen, but at the same time, should try not to be too beaten down by obstacles and failures. This is a year where there the Pig's mood is more unsettled, lazy at times and perhaps lacking confidence, so even if opportunities arise, with such an emotional and mental state, these opportunities will be wasted and lost. This year's financial luck requires hard work, competition and perseverance in order achieve success. The Pig should not neglect taking care of him/herself in both health and emotional realms, as he/she must maintain good health and vitality, resting more, and reducing unnecessary socialization. It is even worse to be immersed in women and drinking, as even if there is good luck and opportunities, they may not be tangible.
Though financial luck is good this year, there may be challenges in the beginning. In the process, the Pig may see the good rise quickly, seeming to be more easy than expected, but the Pig will also need to anticipated that the bad can come any time and if the Pig has sufficient energy and resources to deal with new challenges, he/she should not be afraid. Those in the industries that inherently have a great deal of change, consultants, banking, currency, stocks exchange, etc. will receive good results this year, especially in terms of financial benefits.
In dealing with matters, the Pig should seek money, not pride. Because of pride, the Pig should not argue with his/her superiors or clients over small matters. The Pig should not be petty and need to take a more long term outlook, as well as not be afraid of putting gin extra effort without any returns. If the Pig controls things too tightly, he/she will be the one that loses out.
When money is very good, the Pig should not take this to be an opportunity to heavily invest, as greed can lead to failure. Because expenses will tend to be great this year, so there needs to be good financial management, or else money will come and go, being difficult to accumulate. The Pig will also need to be careful of money bringing about trouble; remember, fortune should not be seen by other eyes and problems come from words. The Pig should also be careful of losing money because of love and the opposite sex. When dealing with matters, the Pig must be calm and sensible, as being overly emotional and judgmental can lead to loss of both money and person.
Relationships this year should have been not bad, but because of the unstable mood and tendency to be sensitive, it can easily cause misunderstanding and disagreements. The Pig will need to control his/her temper better can be more caring of people around. The Pig's mood can cause family and spousal discord, which in turn, can indirectly affect work, career, and financial luck. Remember, a happy family is a peaceful family and a bad family is one where mouths do not stop talking. Romantic relationships opportunities are good this year, so the single Pig may encounter the person which he/she thinks is the right person. However, the Pig needs to be aware of two timing, or being wishy-washy and not serious about getting married, then the opportunity may passes and not ever come again. Therefore, if the Pig does encounter real love, then he/she must work hard to build the relationship and not delay in getting married, as it can a direct positive effect on luck and unstable temper. However, the married Pig needs to exert more self control to avoid involving him/herself in extramarital affairs and if not managed properly, can lead to loss of money, reputation, career and love. The male Pig needs to be careful of affairs with married women, as it will not only lead to loss of money, but also to physical injury. The female Pig needs to be careful of inappropriate or socially unacceptable relationships which will lead to heartbreak. In the year of the Rat, the Pig can have romantic relationships, but it may be unstable.
For health in the year of the Rat, the Pig needs to be mindful of problems of the bowels and excretion, as well as hormonal imbalance. Because of excessive stress this year, the Pig can be prone to hormonal imbalances, in particular females, who may experience more gynecological problems, for example dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation) and irregular menstrual cycle. Aside from not drinking and eating excessively, the Pig should also try to relax and reduce stress, as the Pig may also be at risk for hypertension and hypercholesterolemia this year. Furthermore, the Pig needs to control his/her temper better, reduce frequency of arguments and not let gossip produce excessive stress as there may be risk of cardiovascular disease, as well as the possibility of physical injury. The Pig should also avoid visiting the sick and attending funerals, as the bad luck can increase the risk of an elderly family member becoming ill. The pregnant Pig should absolutely avoid visiting the sick and attending funerals, as the bad luck increases the risk of spontaneous abortion and stillborn.
