The Year of the Dragon brings a surge of energy and is a time for ambitious plans.
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. Each Chinese year begins late in January or early February, so if you were born around this time check the actual year to find out which sign you were born under.

A year of considerable scope. Also, encouragingly, when Rats decide on a course of action, a certain element of luck can come into play at this fortunate time. They will be well supported and, if in need of advice or assistance, by asking and reaching out, useful help can be given.
Over the year, important friends can be made and, for the unattached, romantic prospects may be a success. This is also a good year for self-development and starting new hobbies or obtaining further qualifications can open up fresh possibilities.
Similarly, in work, change is on the way. For those well-established, promotion or new opportunities could beckon. Those seeking work will also find positions, which will be a platform to build on.
Progress made will financially enable Rats to pursue plans, as well as sometimes enjoy travel. Home life will see plans being advanced but, with much happening, Rats need to liaise well and avoid making assumptions. Good communication and openness are key.
Overall this is an excellent year, and Rats should feel encouraged to progress, prove themselves in new ways and reap some well-deserved rewards.
