2008 - Year of the Rat

According to a Feng-shui expert based in the Philippines, Charlie Chao, The Year of the Earth Rat promises money and good fortune.

Luckiest are those born in the year of the Dragon, wherein they can expect promotions from their jobs.

Also lucky are those born in the year of the Snake, lucky for those who have their own business, or plans to start one.

Equally lucky are those born in the year of the Goat and Monkey, albeit they should be careful as they are supposed to be an eye-candy for thieves.

Those born in the year of the Rabbit are also lucky in terms of financial aspects.

Unexpected winnings and surprises awaits those born in the year of the Rat. If you're one of them, better buy those lottery tickets!

Those born in the year of the Ox and Tiger can expect a very warm lovelife. For those married, it may pose problems as temptations are always on the way.

For those born in the year of the Horse, this may be your unlucky year (oh my God, that includes me (1978)). Horse-people are prone to accidents so be always vigilant.

Equally unlucky are those born in the year of the Pig and Dog. They should always be health-conscious and avoid food and activities that may affect their health.

For those born in the year of the Rooster, avoid having confrontations as you may be involved in fights.
