Page 20 n THE ASIAN REPORTER Year of the Dog forecasts Continued from page 16 n Water Dog: Water Dogs will flourish socially and professionally during their long-awaited year. Although this is cause for celebration, try not to overindulge, or you might lose all you have gained. n Wood Dog: The Dog Year promises to be a good one, so long as you try your best and work hard. Cultivating good relationships will also aid your ambitions. n Fire Dog: Open up to a loved one about your greatest dreams and desires. Not only can they offer advice and support, but talking it through may help clarify it in your mind, so you can make it a reality. n Earth Dog: Being stuck in a rut will have you and a close friend or family member growling and snapping at each other. Instead, take a trip or a class together. Shared adventures will help smooth the relationship. w The Pig Watch out, Pig, it’s going to be a challenging year for you! Past mistakes may come back to haunt you in the Year of the Dog. Though this time may prove painful, you can learn a great deal from earlier errors, which will help smooth your path in the future. n Metal Pig: While your income is looking rosy in the Dog Year, you may find your- self with a number of unex- pected expenses. Budget ac- cordingly and avoid spending money before it is in your possession. n Water Pig: You should be recognized and rewarded for your hard work this Dog Year. However, keep an eye out for those who may become jealous of your success. n Wood Pig: The Year of the Dog will be a bit of a trial, but you shouldn’t wallow in self-pity. Instead, pursue opportunities to learn new skills or gain knowledge through classes or seminar to lift your spirits. n Fire Pig: Make the best of a rocky year by exploring your creative side. Whether your interest is in art, music, or another pursuit, it is sure to enrich your life and possibly your social circle. n Earth Pig: Increase your wellbeing by spending quality time with family and friends. Their presence should keep you grounded and their love and support will see you through rough patches. Illustrations by Jonathan Hill Celebrate the Year of the Dog!
