> Year of the Rat (1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020)
Career: Career-wise, the Rats can expect something good in 2023. However, they need to keep an eye on their colleagues since they might try and stir some work drama by talking behind their backs or by leaving them out in situations or gatherings.
Romance: Rats need to focus on other aspects of their lives, as their love life is looking to be on a downward trend this coming year of the Water Rabbit.
Health: Finally, Rats need to particularly look out for their health and immediately go to the doctor for a check-up once they feel that something feels uncomfortable— it’s best that they be careful of what they eat and make good decisions that will not affect their lifestyle in a bad way.
Lucky colors: Blue, Gold, Green
Lucky numbers: 2, 3, 5
> Year of the Ox (1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021)
Career: The Oxen can celebrate as a lot of opportunities will open for them in their career. However, they still need to work for it since the opportunities will not come if they will remain laid back.
Romance: Oxen can also expect something to spark in their romantic life, so they just need to put themselves out there and meet people who can be potential partners. If they already have a romantic partner, then they can expect this relationship to go on an upward trend.
Health: However, this is where the oxen need to be careful: there is a risk of sickness waiting to happen, so they need to go to the doctor if they sense that something is wrong with their bodies.
Lucky colors: Yellow, Brown, White, Silver, Gold
Lucky numbers: 1, 4, 9
> Year of the Tiger (1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022)
Career: There is an opportunity for Tigers to get a promotion this coming 2023. In addition to this, they will also finally get the approval that they’ve been wanting from their superiors or leaders. The tigers also need to be careful of their colleagues at work since some of them may get jealous
Romance: This is the best year for Tigers to get married— if single, then this is the best year for them to finally start looking for a partner in life. However, Tigers aged 24 or 36 need to be careful when it comes to making decisions in their love life since their luck in romance will fluctuate.
Wealth: Before committing a huge amount of money, Tigers need to consider everything first since they are not recommended to invest money for this year. Spending their money wisely and sparingly will make everything smooth for Tigers in the year 2023.

> Year of the Rabbit (1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, 2023)
Career, Romance, Health: Since this is the year of the Rabbits’ 本命年 (Origin [of] Life Year), they need to especially be careful in every aspect of their life as they are believed to offend Tai Sui, the Guardian God of Year. Rabbits need to expect in the year 2023 that there will be a lot of changes and challenges in their life, so making big decisions such as getting married or starting a new business venture is strongly not recommended.
Lucky colors: Pink, Red, Purple, Blue
Lucky numbers: 3, 4, 6
> Year of the Dragon (1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012)
Career: Like the Rabbits, Dragons should be careful of the year 2023 as every aspect of their life will be affected due to the opposition to Tai Sui— however, they should not worry too much since the lucky star Yue De will make sure that their career is smooth sailing.
Romance: Dragons may encounter a lot of difficulties in finding a romantic partner for this year. For the Dragons with a partner already, their relationship is expected to be relatively flat (specifically for those who are married couples). There will be a lot of hurdles in their love life, so expect to fight over a lot of small things and remember to communicate when there is a problem to avoid a bigger problem.
Wealth: For this aspect, the Dragons can breathe a bit since their financial path is expected to develop towards a good direction.

Career: Snakes can expect their career to develop positively in 2023. Since great achievements are bound to happen career-wise, expect an upward trend in finances too.
Romance: For the single Snakes, they can expect to finally find someone who understands them on a deeper level both emotionally and physically. The Snakes who are in a relationship need to watch out as they will find themselves fighting with their partners more than usual, so they need to resolve the problem as soon as they can to avoid more problems that might arise in the future.
Health: Small sicknesses might affect the Snakes in 2023, so they need to keep an eye out for their health.
Lucky colors: Black, Red, Yellow
Lucky numbers: 2, 8, 9

Romance: Horses who are single will have a lot of luck with their romantic encounters, and the Horses who are coupled up have nothing to worry about since this year would be very smooth for their relationships.
Wealth: The Horses that are new to their workplace should be careful— specifically, keep an eye out for your colleagues since they might be plotting something bad that will damage your career. Income might be unstable for the year 2023, so spend your money wisely.

Romance: There is a chance that single Goats will find a romantic partner this year— since the luck in their romance is quite average for the year 2023, they should not get their expectations too high.
Health: Your health prospects are average, so just try to keep yourself healthy and watch out for anything that might harm your health.
Lucky colors: Brown, Red, Purple
Lucky numbers: 2, 7
> Year of the Monkey (1968, 198-, 1992, 2004, 2016)
Career: This is where the Monkeys need to watch out: they need to watch out since they are in for a challenging ride in 2023, so they need to put more effort and time into their jobs.
Romance: There is an upward trend for Monkeys in their love life, so expect that (for both single and taken Monkeys) there will be a boost in self-confidence and minimal to almost no hurdles to be experienced in your love life.
Health: Monkeys will have a stable condition for the year 2023, so the ones with chronic conditions need to maintain what they are already currently doing to maintain a healthier lifestyle.

Lucky numbers: 4, 9
> Year of the Rooster (1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017)
Career: Roosters are expected to have unfavorable luck in their career, so they need to work harder than before to overcome the upcoming challenges in their workplace.
Romance: The Roosters who are in a relationship may be drawn towards marriage, and the single Roosters may experience a huge turning point in their love life.

Romance: Single Dogs can expect their love life to finally flourish this coming 2023, and Dogs who are in a relationship can expect their relationship to go towards an upward curve.

Lucky colors: Green, Red, Purple
Lucky numbers: 3, 4, 9
> Year of the Pig (1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019)

Lucky colors: Yellow, Gray, Brown, Gold
Lucky numbers: 2, 5, 8
Just keep in mind that these forecasts are meant to be a guide and not a handbook that you should swear by— ultimately, being a good person weighs more than simply being lucky in most (if not all) situations. As the old saying goes: “No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.”
