What Does 2020 Have In Store For Your Zodiac Animal? Here's What Peter So Has To Say

The Chinese zodiac is a classification that assigns an animal and its reputed attributes to each year in a repeating 12-year cycle. This Chinese New Year, 25 January, marks the beginning of a cycle with the Year of the Rat.

According to TIME, the Chinese zodiac is a popular astrological system to determine a person's birth year, which was popularised during the Shang Dynasty some 3,700 years ago. The tradition is still widely practised today and it is also used to predict a person's fortune of the year.

Peter So is an almanac master based in Hong Kong. He has over 37 years of fortune telling experience and has consulted many rich and famous celebrities, such as Cantopop stars Faye Wong and Jacky Cheung, reported South China Morning Post.

This year, Peter So has prepared fresh predictions and we have summarised what he has to say for each zodiac, as translated from China's horoscopes and zodiacs website ZhouYi.cc.

If a zodiac has a clash with 'Tai Sui' (the guardian God for everything), it means that the person of that animal sign will suffer from bad luck that year, according to Your Chinese Astrology.

Career: Rats might be discouraged due to bad career fortunes for the past few years, but it will start getting better in 2020. As long as you seize the opportunity, you will be able to get a "new life". All you need to do this year is to change. You are probably using an outdated approach for your businesses. If you cannot change or innovate, then your career fortune will not rise. As for those who are employees, you should consider starting a new job or moving to a different city. It will definitely improve your current situation.

Wealth: Rats have been suffering from bad fortunes for the past two years. In 2020, your wealth fortune will only be mediocre. You will not be able to have big savings. But there is a chance for you to improve your situation as long as you are willing to change. In terms of indirect wealth, Rats will see an improvement. You can make some investments, but always remember to tread carefully on this.

Love: Rats will have great love fortune in 2020. For those who are single, it is very likely for you to meet your true love this year. This person could probably be your crush. You should take the initiative to confess your feelings. With a sincere heart, you might just touch their heart. As for those who are married, you will have a stable relationship. However, you need to be careful of people with evil intent because they might cause trouble and disrupt your marriage.

Health: Rats' health fortune is generally good in 2020. And that is pretty much thanks to your optimistic mentality. You do not let emotions affect your well-being. However, due to Rats' unhealthy lifestyle - such as staying up late and eating unhealthy food - you will face the consequences in the future. Therefore, remember to change your lifestyle and do not overwork this year.

While many people around you are going to be investing, you still need to tread carefully. Otherwise, you are likely to suffer great losses.

Love: Oxen's love fortune will improve this year. If you are single, you just need to pay more attention to the people around you. Some Oxen are single because you always neglect people who love you. You should chase after people close to you rather than people who are far away. As for Oxen who are already married, your marriage will get better in 2020. You and your spouse will come to an easier mutual understanding this year. Remember, there is no need to prove who is right or wrong.

If you choose the latter path, then you will need to start looking for jobs by year-end.

Wealth: Tigers' wealth fortune will improve in 2020. Your direct wealth will keep rising steadily thanks to your continuous hard work. Bosses will give you new projects and you will receive an increment. However, you must save up some money for emergency needs.

For those who just enter the workforce, do not be afraid. All you have to do is to keep a low-profile and you will slowly adapt and excel.

Wealth: Rabbits made a lot of wealth last year, but could not save up the money due to a lot of minor setbacks. In 2020, your wealth fortune will improve as setbacks will stop occurring.

Health: Rabbits will face a few health problems in 2020 due to bad love fortune. You will suffer from insomnia, headaches, and colds very often if you do not fix your love problem.

Career: Dragons who are born domineering and intelligent do not have to worry about your career. You just need to follow your heart and you will produce great results.

As long as you face each challenge calmly and stay humble, you will be able to reach new heights.

Take initiatives to talk to your crush and it will definitely go well.

Health: Since Dragons will do well in your career, you must not forget to maintain a healthy body.
