In the year of the Goat, someone will be assisting the Horse. The Horse and the Goat go together this year. The Horse is the human and the Goat is bad for water. Bringing in Tai Sui, which has the water element, the Goat would be bad for water, the Tai Sui. As a result, Tai Sui will go together well with the Horse. Therefore, this year has lucky stars shining on the Horse, bringing someone who will support the Horse in its endeavors, leading to new opportunities. This person that comes to help you will have greater abilities than you, providing you with new opportunities that allow you to show your leadership skills. Therefore, this is a very good year for the Horse, being in a strong position, so you should strive to improve your flexibility, skills, and value.

Long term finances will be better than short term. This is a changing year for career, which may include changing companies, changing jobs within your existing company, your workplace may move, or you may be promoted. As there will be a new environment and new opportunities, problems may be encountered; therefore, it is important for you to take care of matters personally. Especially at the beginning, don’t entrust matters to others, nor should you tell others of your plans before you achieve your goal; otherwise, you may lend yourself to being sabotaged, or have your opportunity stolen by someone else. For the Horse who works for an employer, you need to mind your own business and not take the initiative to fight for someone else’s causes, or else you may be the scapegoat, the one to blame for mistakes, and if serious, you may lose your job or flounder your reputation.

Financially, it is not bad this year, but the problem is that money come and goes. It is not a stable situation either. Especially at the beginning, you must be stable and not be impulsive or greedy and only take when appropriate. Else wise, greed and impulsiveness can make you poorer. Importantly, collect when you see good gains, though it won’t be large gains. Remember that small waters can flow for a long time and drops of water will become a river. If you insist on only catching the big fish and lose out on the small ones, you may find yourself trying to cross the river, but no boat appears. This is a year where you need to save for a rainy day. Absolutely do not gamble or buy/sell investments to make money, or else money will come and go. You need to manage your finances wisely, as there may be unexpected expenses towards the end of the year, making you financially strained. Also, be aware of the opposite sex causing you financial loss. Home safety is another concern this year.

For the Horse, look at a farther distance to earn money. Areas such as management, shipping, banking, and especially importing/exporting, mid-year may bring good returns. If you are planning to start a business, it is preferable to find a location more distant, rather than opening locally. Those who are business owners can consider expanding else where; however, it is unadvised that you involve yourself in fooling around (drinking, women, etc.), as it can lead to loss. The Horses who work for an employer need to be more humble this year, as you may be susceptible to being sabotaged or even suffer from injury. In approaching matters this year, don’t be wishy-washy. If something needs to be done, do it right away, rather than trying to patch things up at the end and that can lead to loss of money. Those who are equal to or below your position will give you a headache, as you do not feel that their abilities allow you to entrust matters to them. You need to give more time, be more patient and less rushed, for that is just expression of your mood. Be aware of those so called friends or buddies, as they may be the little people scheming to sabotage you. In particular, be very careful of your documents and contracts, as there can easily be mistakes. It is also advised that you speak less or voice fewer opinions as to reduce the possibility of producing damage. Family life will be unsettled, as arguments can come easily over small matters. Be more tolerant and try not to involve yourself in family arguments, as it can bring more problems.

Love relationships for the Horse are marginal. It will be a bumpy road for relationships this year. Those who are married may find themselves easily getting into arguments. If you do not compromise and respect each other, then the relationship can grow weak and become susceptible to involvement of a third party in your marriage. The single Horse should not place high too hopes for relationships this year, as being overly involved may negatively affect your career. You should be serious in approaching your relationship, not overly involved or obsessive, as giving your partner too much pressure will only make things worse.

In terms of health, there won’t be any major illness, though you may easily acquire gastrointestinal illness, so take caution in what you eat or drink, especially be aware in late summer and fall. You may also bruise easily from trauma to the hands, feet, head and face; therefore, do not participate in work with high incidence of injury. Be aware of dangers in your surroundings, so don’t be impatient and rush, especially when driving. It is unadvised that you attend funerals or visit the sick. Because gossip will be plentiful and troubles can come from speaking, you need to be more tolerant, lest you risk lawsuit or physical injury. Remember that tolerance can lead to calm waters and that taking a step back will make the oceans wider and sky emptier.
