CHINESE HOROSCOPE 2020
THE new year in the Chinese calendar will be celebrated in great style and with good reason – not only does the year mark the start of a new cycle, it’s also a time of energy, hope and fresh starts.
The Year of the Rat offers considerable scope and is a time to make the most of strengths and build on opportunities. Have a look at your ruling sign to see what the next 12 months have in store.
According to Chinese astrology each year is associated with an animal sign, occurring in a 12-year cycle. To find your sign, look up the animal ruling the year of your birth. As each Chinese year begins sometime in late January or in February, if you were born around this time you need to check the actual year dates to find the sign you were born under (go to thechinesezodiac.org/ what-chinese-sign-am-i/).

Rats will also delight in how personal interests can be furthered. Social life can bring great pleasure, with many rats extending their social circles. And, for the unattached, prospects are excellent for meeting someone
