Page 20 n THE ASIAN REPORTER Year of the Monkey forecasts Continued from page 18 focus on their significant other will find the relationship deepen. n Water Dog: Water Dogs may experience an occasional lean financial period during the Monkey’s reign. Budget your funds carefully to see yourself through tough times unscathed, as well as to bring peace of mind. n Wood Dog: Your hard work reaps you many rewards, both in satisfaction and materially. Don’t forget to take time to unwind, whether pursuing a hobby, travelling, or spending time with loved ones. This will keep you energized and help prevent ill health. n Fire Dog: Consider spending time volunteering in your community in 2016. Not only will you have the satisfaction of helping others, you may meet contacts who can provide valuable networking opportunities. n Earth Dog: Your professional life will cause you to raise your hackles as the Year of the Monkey comes swinging in. However, don’t despair. When things are looking their bleakest, you will be able to turn them around with a little help from those around you. By the time the Year of the Rooster comes strutting in, you will be sitting pretty. w The Pig The Year of the Monkey will bring many challenges your way, but your optimistic nature and caring circle of friends and loved ones will see you through to better times ahead. n Metal Pig: Take care not to damage relationships by being stubborn. Graciously agreeing to compromise is not the same as failing, and it will lead to better and stronger bonds with loved ones. n Water Pig: Stick closely to your budget this year, Water Pig. With uncertain finances ahead, it is a good idea to save for lean times. n Wood Pig: There will be stressful times this year, so be sure to indulge in some self care. If finances allow, take that trip you have been thinking about. Renewed energy will allow you to tackle any difficulties that arise. n Fire Pig: Be cautious when giving advice or lending money to others in the Monkey’s year. Though sincerely offered, these actions might lead to resentment or damage important relationships. n Earth Pig: Though it feels as if you are making no progress toward your personal goals, stay focused. You will find the opportunity you have been waiting for comes when least expected. Illustrations by Jonathan Hill.
