Tiger
Love and romance look promising this year for Tigers. Single Tigers should take time to mingle if they want to find love, while attached Tigers will find ease in their relationships.

Rabbit
Rabbits will have overall good luck with attracting more money this year, but may encounter possible weaker energies in other areas of life.

Rabbits should invest in their annual physical checkups so that health challenges will not become serious threats. If someone owes money, Rabbits may have difficulty with collection. Rabbits may experience challenges in love and relationships and there is a possibility of losing a loved one. For Rabbits who have weddings or wedding invitations this year, added happiness and good news will come out of these. To increase luck in marriages, consult an almanac for auspicious dates. At work, Rabbits are advised to postpone job changes and should seek colleagues who are supportive of the Rabbit’s career. It is a great year to enhance or improve yourself. Despite challenges, always remain calm and do not let negative emotions get the better of you.
