The Year of the Rooster begins in January 28th. As a Rooster, I was interested in finding out what my year looked like. I had no idea that, “according to Chinese astrology, the year of one’s birth sign is the most unlucky year in the 12-year cycle”.
Nevertheless, I thought this would be a nice reference to have and compare against.
Here it is in full:
In the Year of the Rooster, people who happen to born in the zodiac year will be out of luck in most respects of life. Either setbacks in work or crisis in relationship bothers them a lot. Fortunately, opportunities and socializing talent help them to defuse the bad luck. In general, the prediction for them is pleasant in June and December, but in August and September everything goes down.
Note: The Chinese zodiac horoscope prediction is according to the Chinese lunar calendar. The months shown below are lunar months, with Georgian dates marked (month/day/year).
January (01/28/2017 – 02/25/2017)
Roosters’ luck in the first lunar month is quite average, even with potential disasters. It would be hard for them to gain remarkable progress during this time. Their relationship develops steadily, but wealth and career are stuck in depression. They need to strive hard to prevent things from becoming worse. In this month, activities like rock climbing and bungee jumping should be avoided.
After a stable period, people born in the Year of Rooster will suffer a series of turbulence though their general luck doesn’t plummet much. As long as they stay cautious and careful, they can avoid the unanticipated accidents. Furthermore, the financial expense may go beyond their budget, which would bring anxiety. However, they could expect a favorable change in love and relationship. For single Roosters, they get chances to find their soul mates.
According to Chinese zodiac prediction, they will pick up their luck again in lunar March. Concerning career, their hardworking and efforts are well recognized by their leaders and bosses. The prediction for wealth is very nice, and they would better make a detailed budget. When doing some labor work, they are apt to get injured, and the health issues of family members will also arouse their anxiety.
Their fortune will continue rising up stably. Due to their nice personalities, most of their friends are willing to give Roosters assistances helping them to start a new career. Thus, more care should be paid to interpersonal activities, and they need to maintain a win-win relation with partners or colleagues. The trend seems to develop in a better direction, but they should bear in mind that it’s wise to keep in low profile in a competing arena. Their health condition is worry-free.
The luck in money remains as pleasant as before, but there are some changes taking place in their interpersonal relationships. They do not like to share when they achieve the profits, which might offend people around them. In this month, they are supposed to behave modest and smart. Otherwise, there will be troubles caused by their tongue. When their opinions diverge from others’, they must avoid any direct conflicts.
In the sixth lunar month, people with the zodiac sign Rooster will have the best luck in 2017. Many opportunities are provided to show their talents, and it would be a good time for them to make breakthroughs. Accordingly, their efforts can gain handsome income. Behind those flourishing scenes, there are potential crisis in their health. Anyway, there is no need to over worry about these ailments for they can be diminished with regular exercise.
The luck of wealth starts to fall from this month, and they would face new challenges in their work field. Thus they need to make good preparation for all the sudden changes, especially make detailed work plan. The income is stable, but the expense is far beyond that. Never make large investments indiscreetly as it is not a right time for high profit.
Roosters year born people are still stuck in their awful luck in this month, which may gravely affect their mood and emotion. Upset about the current situation, they tend to be more sensitive and fragile. They are likely to have squabbles with colleagues and partners if they stick to their principles. However, their love and relationship develop as they expect, and they gain support and comfort from friends and families.
Their luck hits the bottom of the year in the ninth lunar month, and they would better stay far away from any disputes. More efforts should be paid to their work. As long as they adopt an optimistic attitude towards life, they would regain another turning point. Their fortune in easy money is prosperous, so it is ok to try their luck in lottery or high-risk investment. Avoid putting large amounts in new fields in case of unnecessary losses.
The luck takes a turn for the better in this month, and their social relationship will get bright change. However, it doesn’t mean that they get relief from stress in work. They need to perform well to keep everything from being worse. When having talks with others, they should restrain themselves in high profile. The outdoor activities would be beneficial to their health.
Comparing with previous months, their fortune seems to be good in the lunar November, with less trouble and better mood. In the period, people with Chinese zodiac Rooster sign need to struggle hard to make breakthroughs in work, and their income will also increase accordingly. It is unwise to seek quick success and instant benefits, but put the stability in the first place. They could maintain a worry-free financial status so long as smartly managing their money.
The prediction for the last lunar month indicates that their luck goes up. If eager to make big progresses in career, they need to devote more time and efforts. When doing investments, choose the familiar and expertized fields. Cut some unnecessary expense in eating and dressing but invest in learning, which will surely reward you with unexpected surprise. During this period, they may suffer from some ailments, but don’t worry, for doctors will cope with that.
