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.
