The year's stars
Chinese tradition gives each sign its own stars every year: some help, others call for care, and they colour the areas below.
Small-loss star
死符 DelicateThis year, money slips away in small leaks and tiredness sets in quickly. Watch the small stuff and keep time to recover.
Robbery star

Noble helper
天乙貴人 FavourableThis year, someone well placed lends you a hand. Accept the help; it can open important doors.
Love
This year, your love life flows without the weight of major cosmic influences, allowing you to shape your relationships at your own pace. The stars suggest a period of growth and nurturing, where you can invest time and energy into your connections without external pressures. This is an opportunity to deepen existing bonds or explore new ones, guided by your own desires and values. Embrace this freedom and take the time to communicate openly with your partner or potential partners, as this will be key to fostering understanding and harmony.
Work
This year, you may find a well-connected person offering you support in your work. This noble helper can guide you toward significant opportunities, so be open to their assistance. It might lead you to doors you hadn't considered knocking on before.
Money
This year, you may find that money seems to slip through your fingers in small, unnoticed ways, and you might feel your energy draining more quickly than usual. Be mindful of minor expenses and ensure you carve out time to rest and recharge. Additionally, there's an increased likelihood of encountering people who may try to take advantage of you or make off with your belongings, so keep a close eye on your valuables and be cautious of any overly persistent offers. Trust your instincts and don't rush into decisions that seem too good to be true.
Health
This year, you may find yourself dealing with small financial drains and a sense of fatigue creeping in more easily than usual. The energy of the year suggests that these issues might be related, as minor expenses can add up and wear you down over time. To counter this, pay close attention to your daily spending and make sure to carve out time for rest and rejuvenation. By being mindful of these small losses and prioritizing your well-being, you can help maintain your energy and financial stability throughout the year.
