2012 Lunar zodiac predictions: your work, love and life outlook for the year of the Dragon
Feng Shui master and divination specialist CLARICE GEORGIA VICTORIA CHAN predicts your health, wealth, work and love in the year of the mighty Dragon.
DRAGON
Born: 1916, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012
It will be a year of mixed blessings. While the journey varies depending on which of the five elements you belong to, it will be an exciting year for all. Since your zodiac clashes with the 2012 ruling zodiac - the Yang Earth Dragon - be more flexible and friendly as you will more likely be temperamental. Actions such as challenging your superiors or authority will not work in your favour. There will be turbulence in personal relationships so think through before making rash decisions. It's a good year for financial gains but be selective in who you choose to trust. Avoid confrontations.
SNAKE
Born: 1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001
Life will be smooth sailing and you'll enjoy success and happiness. There will be challenges at work but the auspicious stars shining in your zodiac will smooth away the negativity and replenish you with positive energy. Personal relationships will be harmonious. Singles will find romantic partners but males must be more disciplined - especially if you're attached - or you'll meet with some nasty surprises. You will remain generally healthy but do take better care of your lungs, heart and blood pressure.
HORSE
Born: 1918, 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002
You'll face changes in your home or personal life. Emotionally, you'll experience extreme highs and lows throughout the year. If you can adjust your expectations about money, this can be a financially good year for you. But if you decide to live lavishly, you'll face financial concerns later in the year. Certain projects or jobs will come to a sudden halt. Go with
the flow as this usually signifies new things are coming your way. Stand firm and be careful when making major decisions. Remain calm and live moderately.
GOAT
Born: 1919, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003
As your zodiac clashes with the ruling zodiac - the Yang Water Dragon - you'll feel unsettled and insecure. Be more grounded and take charge of your life. Be gentle but firm when dealing with people and avoid conflict. Some will experience great breakthroughs and success. Take extra care of your safety and wellbeing as clash zodiacs tend to injure themselves or fall ill. Be aware people around you may be giving you bad advice. Always trust your inner voice.
MONKEY
Born: 1920, 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004
You have several lucky stars shining on your zodiac. You will do well professionally and while you'll be presented with plenty of opportunities be prepared to handle meltdowns at the workplace. Your relationship with others will go through unstable periods so be forgiving and understanding. Be very clear about what you wish to achieve. Finances will fluctuate so moderate your lifestyle.
ROOSTER
Born: 1921, 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005
Your zodiac is surrounded by a range of auspicious stars boosting your personal energy and keeping you safe and successful. You will be busy professionally. There will be some small challenges but it's just part of life and will fade away quickly so there's no need to be alarmed. This year's rewards will come in many forms. Be open, flexible and receptive to receiving these blessings at any time.
DOG
Born: 1922, 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006
Your zodiac clashes the most with this year's ruling zodiac which means your journey might be uncomfortable. But it's not the end of the world nor detrimental. However, not everyone's experience will be the same. Some will emerge winners. You will experience extreme emotions, feel drained and burn out easily. Manage this by having a healthy balance of activities, light exercises and spending quality time with family and friends. Personal time is also very important, so give yourself a break now and then.
PIG
Born: 1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007
2012 will be an energetic and fast moving year. You will be eager to try new ideas and likely to meet with many opportunities. People around you at work will be attracted to your energy and lend you their support. At certain points, you will be working very hard and neglecting your wellbeing. Although you will do well financially don't take any large financial risks. There will be opportunities to travel. Love and relationships will have their ups and downs, but can be resolved with mutual understanding and a gentle approach.
RAT
Born: 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008
Although you will enjoy a blessed and auspicious year the balance can be tipped. This is an unstable year for wealth matters. There will be fluctuations in the earlier half of the year but with mindfulness and determination, you will come out a winner before the end of the year. Love and personal relationships can produce emotional and challenging moments. Patience is the best medicine, but don't short change yourself emotionally.
OX
Born: 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009
Although you will encounter uncomfortable experiences, positive opportunities and good fortune still await you. It will be a financially positive year but beware of money scams. Your social calendar will be pretty full so keep yourself fit. If you're considering marriage be patient - some issues may arise in your personal relationships and the only way to deal with it is through tolerance and understanding.
TIGER
Born: 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010
It will be a hectic and challenging year so be at peace with yourself and life. Open your heart to live this year to the fullest regardless of the situation and you can turn any challenges to your favour. Set some realistic goals early in the year and be disciplined in your efforts to achieve them. Money flow will be unstable so be more careful with budgets and expenditure and avoid impulsive buys. Love can be both interesting and difficult. Some may have romantic encounters in foreign lands. If you're married you must be more considerate of your spouse's needs and support them as much as you can.
RABBIT
Born: 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011
You will enjoy happiness and success. Although you'll be financially stronger as compared to last year, still be mindful of your spending. Reconsider any large investments especially if it's a loan application. If you're buying or selling a property, close the transaction when it reaches a moderate profit. Prolonged negotiations or any hesitation on your part will result in a loss. As this is an active year - both at work and in your social life - take care of your wellbeing. Rest well and maintain a healthy diet.
