2017 is the year of the Chicken, the 4714th Chinese year.
According to the Chinese Horoscope Calendar (CHC), this year is the year of the Red Fire Chicken (N.B. NOT the spicy chicken you can get at your local eatery!). The CHC theory indicates that Chicken is a female metal, which is linked to jewelry, gold, and precious gems. Translate that into modern-day terms, and we are talking about monetary wealth, luxury, and beauty! However, do not get too carried away just yet because as the chicken is female metal, which is unfortunately linked with fog or dirty air. Therefore, we are unable to see clearly moving forward until the fog passes.
Now let us look at what this means for YOU (remember, the CHC states that if you are born before 4th February, your sign is the same as the previous year).
What Does Your Chinese Zodiac Reveal For 2017?
Rat
In love, if you are single, you should look into going to social gatherings and it would help your cause to enlist help from someone older than you, like a parent, mentor, or older friend. However, those in relationships will now see their amorous partnership settle and married couples will concentrate on the family.
Money-wise, loaning money to people close to you would bring problems getting it back and it is also advisable not to make any risky investments. Look into the real estate markey as a safer bet.
At the office, you are someone in demand. If you feel that your current job does not let you spread your wings, then you could look to do just that elsewhere. If there is a promotion opportunity, this is another possible avenue open to you. However, you will have to go and get it.
Cow

Rabbit

Money-wise, more good news. However, be sure to use all your faculties available to you, with the most useful being intelligence, creativity, good ideas, discovery, and positive vibes. Hiring a financial advisor could be a money-spinning idea. People who are born under the sign of Chicken will do all the promotion needed to succeed.
At the office, your choices will be the correct ones, no matter what you choose. This is a good time for you professionally, as you have the luxury of playing stick or twist and both choices being good ones. Sticking with your bread and butter is good because you are a leader who knows the chosen field well. Twisting is also good because you are well-equipped for the new obstacles ahead, but there is the possibility of this option being unstable at first. Not even St. George can stop you!
Snake
In love, good times are on the horizon if you know how to manage romantic relationships well, as Snakes are experts at being entangled.

At the office, you are another one with choices. If you continue being passionate, it will not matter whether you stay where you are or take that new opportunity. Should you be offered that new position, you may find it hard to resist. Your neigh will be heard miles away….
Sheep
In love, you will be able to find or maintain love is possible, though you must not put too much pressure on a partner and be patient, potential or otherwise.

Monkey
In love, you are not looking too clever. It is better to look for business opportunities or career interests at this time, no matter what your civil status is.
Money-wise, if you have the right patience and are careful, this can be a rather profitable time for you. Extra income may be hard to come by through competition. If you feel you can handle it, you will be successful. If not, you can ask your competitor if they want to co-exist for a particular project.
At the office, the future is bright if you are diligent. You have been working hard of late but feel that you have not reached your goal yet. You could take on a new role, either moving up the ranks where you are or swinging from one branch to another.
Chicken
In love, shaky territory is ahead but not all hope is lost. Looking? If you meet people born under the Cow, Dragon, or Snake, you could find yourself with a smile on your face. If you are in love already, arguments might ensue. To get plucky, finding a Snake as a mediator can be crucial. If you blame yourself, your confidence and spirit will be through the floor.
Money-wise, it is finger-licking good if you have the energy to see it through this year. Forget about risky investments or loaning money because they will cause you problems in the long-run with a return of chicken feed or worse. Play it safe this year!
At the office, again tread with caution. You really need to think long and hard before accepting a new job offer because you will be faced with competition from your new colleagues. The same goes for a promotion. If you need help, a Tiger can help you, giving you clarity and a sense of direction.
Dog
In love, think golden retriever. Single? While on the hunt, do not go all rottweiler and be too aggressive. Play it cool and you may have a new toy to play with soon. In love already? You have to have as much patience as a dog waiting for its master coming home from work. If you are a married Dog, no worries here. Look at any career or money-spinning opportunities.
Money-wise, opportunities are all around but you need to act fast or you will have to wait a year. Using a Snake to help you out can reward you more than a Scooby snack, as can using social networks.
At the office, stay loyal to your current employer. Stay focused on your current responsibilities and stay the course. Stay grounded. Just….. stay!
Pig
In love, pay closer attention to your love interest or partner. If you are looking, get out in the sun and start socialising. Men will find it easier to meet women in April, May, and June. Already have a partner? Show them your real piggy heart so that your relationship grows stronger.

Money-wise, you can bring home the bacon during the summer months! You will need to earn it through your passion and dedication. Do not let that deter you from great rewards.
At the office, you are currently unsure of your path at present. However, all that changes in the summer when clarity kicks in, then you can oink with delight about what you are up to professionally. New opportunities are only fine if you have the passion and the proper plan of action to pull it off, so ask yourself if you really want it. If not, stay put, dear Piggy!
As Porky Pig would say, “That’s all folks!”
