For the Rat in the Year of the Goat, there is possibility of gossip, unstable finances, so this is a year of bumpy roads that may not go as smoothly as you would like. The picture of the year is unclear and vague. Before these problems occur, you may already have the attitude that you’ve lost. This excessive worrying and stress can prevent any good luck from coming to you. This is also a year of movement for the Rat, so it is better that you keep busy rather than be stagnant. You should do more and learn more in order to receive results of your effort. You should consider going abroad either for travel or for work, or you may also consider changing jobs, to improve your luck.

This year, consider work that uses your skills, for example skilled trades, artistic and designing occupations, where you can expand. Especially if you go abroad, under the assistance of a person that helps you, you may be able to try a job that you have never done before, in particular for services and occupations that involve use of verbal skills.

There will be a lot of gossip this year, so it is not suitable for you to cooperate with people, especially if you build something with a partner, you will be cast off once you have done the work they want. You should not be greedy or impulsive when approaching matters. Start small and take things step by step. Taking the initiative to improve yourself and your strengths is much better than working to help someone else improve and being their accessory. If you continue to work hard to improve your skills and marketability may start to see good results in the summer, and you may see your luck improve. This year is good for the areas of acting, jewellery, advertising, tourism, and fashion. It is advised that you avoid work that involves grey areas or dealing with underground type of things, as there may be mistakes that easily made. Why it is suggested that you work independently is because you will easily have colleagues or people who work under you, be rebellious. When asking people to do things for you it may be better that the friends you deal with are the ones where you have good relationships with. When you are faced with the temptation for personal gain, don’t do things that are against your morals.

In terms of career, looking for reputation is getter than gaining in finances. Success in career may not see real money. Reputation is more important than money because if you have reputation, then you can have money; however, the other way around, if you have money then you work towards reputation, it may not quite work that way. If you have the reputation, then you have the networking and ability to earn that money. This is a suitable year for learning and continuing education, which can help you. You will need to be vigilant about gossip, disagreements, and legal issues. There are many disruptions to finances this year, so it is unadvised to partnership with someone for investments, as you may risk losing friends over money. It is also unadvised that you personally make too great investments, as greed can make you poor. You will have many ideas about money this year and changes great this year, so be aware that money may come and go just like that and expenses will be great; therefore you need to carefully manage your finances. Don’t easily trust people who tell you to invest in things, to reduce the risk for loss. Be also aware that there may be a lot of disagreements in the family. Remember that a peaceful family is a happy family and one that one that doesn’t stop talking is not good. It is senseless to have so many disagreements in the family. There will be many unanticipated expenses, once there is a bit of extra money, be careful of how you spend, as you may find yourself in a very financially tight situation. Finance will be better in the last half of the year, but the money should come from an honest earning. If you take big investment risks or walk into grey areas, you may find that in September or October, you suffer from danger, possibly physical injury due to money. Therefore, you need to know your limits and back away. Collect once you see good returns. When you could have gone through this year smoothly, your greed may lead to your demise in this fan Tai Siu year.

Relationships this year are not that ideal. You may find yourself liking someone, but they don’t share the same feelings. There may be relationship opportunities, but they may just be flowers that bloom, but do not form fruit; before there is deep love, there is no love. For the married Rat, you need to be particularly aware of arguments, possibly leading to separation or walking separate ways. Your partner may easily become ill or be in an accident, so you need to be more caring. In particular for the single female Rat, you will have many people who want to woo you, so you need to be very careful of whom you be with, as the love may be over and leave you impregnated. You mood will be changing this year, and in your work and relationship, you will easily lose focus. So when you are with your partner, be more understanding and improve your relationship, to use it to improve your luck and hopefully dissolve problems.

In terms of health you may easily get head and eye injuries involving blood. Also be aware of kidney and genitourinary, especially for the older Rat. You need to be particularly careful of accidents in the home in terms of fire and burns.
