1. Year of the Rat — 2008, 1996, 1984, 1972, 1960 If you were born on one of the Year of the Rats (1972, 1984, 1996 etc.) then you’re supposed to use this year to recharge and get away from all of the noise in life, so to speak. A lot of times life gets in the way of things, and we forget to take care of ourselves, while thinking of the long term. This is the year that stops! 2. Year of the Ox — 2009, 1997, 1985, 1973, 1961 If you were born on one of the Year of the Ox’s (1973, 1985, 1997 etc.) then you need to keep your composure, because this year your patience will be tested. However if you do this, good things are coming your way. Therefore stay strong! 3. Year of the Tiger — 2010, 1998, 1986, 1974, 1962 If you were born on one of the Year of the Tigers (1974, 1986, 1998 etc.) then this is going to be a good year for you. One thing you have common with the Dog (whose year it is) is that you may face some problems this year, but they’re problems that you’ve been through many times before and therefore have immunity to them.
