Chinese New Year 2016 heralds a new year not only for Chinese people, but those who practice and believe in the ancient Chinese wisdom. What many people are always curious about is how well or how badly they will do this year in terms of love, business, finances, relationships and life in general.

Of course, there are those who strongly believe and those who do not believe at all. Whichever side you fall on, remember that fate is only a part of your future, and you ultimately make the final choices in every aspect of your life.

This year is actually the year of the fire monkey, and with that it is a year that will be very active, with a lot of events happening around us. Feng Shui experts cannot agree whether the events will be good , bad or a mixture of both. However, it is said to be very exciting.

Without further ado, here are the predictions for 2016 according to your Chinese Zodiac Animal:

Monkey

Astrologers say that it’s rather bad luck for a Monkey to meet another Monkey year, so in order to avoid any severely bad thing from happening, you should avoid big decisions this year. Instead, go low profile and focus on your job and be disciplined in order to achieve something. The later part of 2016 may see some unexpected fortune coming your way.

Rat

For rats, this is a year that you will learn new lessons in handling your business and family. It is also a chance for those furthering their studies to take this opportunity to pursue it. Rats will have many opportunities to learn something new about relationships and should take it.

Ox

This will be an extremely smooth year for the ox and you will experience good health and fortunes at work. Your business will prosper and you will generally achieve all you want this year, as long as you work hard and are dependable at all times.

Tiger

Tigers will generally have mixed fortunes this year. In general, your health will be good but you have to be careful and stop bad habits like smoking, drinking or drugs. Your business will continue and survive but it will not have any big profits coming in. Any conflicts that arise in your relationships must be dealt with gently without force.

Rabbit

Rabbits are known to be very quiet and gentle. If you are a rabbit, you will be able to succeed this year as long as you don’t give up trying. Deal with your finances carefully as not much financial fortune will arrive this year. Also stay away from over-indulging in food as this will cause your health to decline.

Dragon

This year, dragons will perfom perfectly at work as long as they keep an open mind. Avoid being to stresses out and maintain a healthy work life balance in order to maintain good health. You should also not be too greedy when investing, gambling or in business or you may lose more than you gain.

Snakes

It will generally be a good year for the Snakes as long as they are careful in handling conflicts, or else it may cause them to lose the success they seek. Snakes should not gamble this year as their fortunes will not come if they are greedy.

Horse

Goats

Rooster

In terms of career and health, you may have it relatively smooth sailing, However, money making opportunities are rather unstable this year so avoid getting into debt and lending money.

Dogs

This year will pretty much be like a roller coaster for Dogs as they may experience a decline in their career prospects at the beginning of the year and then see it pick up later on. The same applies to relationships; it will see its ups and downs. There will be health risks so be more aware of your health.

Boar

Boars or pigs will struggle with many challenges in their careers this year and suffer from unstable health. Money making opportunities may be limited so save wisely. You should avoid overworking too. Relationship prospects on the other hand, will be very good.
