Life in 2017 – Be Sensible
Monkey you are usually the life of the party, however in 2017 it’s time to sober up and pay attention. This may come as a bit of a surprise to you after enjoying good luck last year but this year be realistic and don’t take chances. Stay calm and have plenty of R&R avoiding stress whenever you can.
You will have to make sensible choices in relationships and in your career. If you listen to your own intuition and take the ‘middle path’ you will do ok this year. Remember, balance in all things.
The Red Fire Rooster brings new creative energies to help you, particularly from March onwards, so try not to worry about obstacles and delays. Watch your health in February and August and try to stay calm and grounded.
Love in 2017 – Don’t Go Overboard
Monkeys are usually great romantic partners and enjoy lots of attention from other people. Their passion and charm attracts potential partners like bees to a honey pot. Romance occurs frequently and this can cause problems in 2017, particularly if you are already in a committed partnership.
This year also brings many parties and celebrations with friends and family. Monkeys treat all events as opportunities to meet potential new partners if they are uncommitted. Your social life will be abuzz this year with many new faces joining your network. As far as finding the ‘right one’ it could get complicated if Monkeys have too many balls in the air. So take it slowly and don’t spread yourself too thinly across multiple partners at the same time or you could be in for fireworks that end up burning you.
Your friends will remain loyal as long as you don’t go too far. Sometimes you could be crying on their shoulders if you’ve gone out on a ledge with someone who isn’t the person of your heart’s true desire.
Money in 2017 – Looking Better
This year you will need to make sensible choices in your career and some Monkeys will leave their current jobs for new horizons because they are experiencing delays and obstacles. Restrictions in career are more likely in the first half of the year and then things improve. Stay practical and grounded so that powerful Earth energies can lead you to the best decision.
Money can come to you this year through using your analytical brain. You might decide to upskill taking a course to improve your business or career. This is a good move in 2017.
If you’ve been out of work, this year is luckier than last for employment prospects. Working Monkeys could also change jobs to higher paid positions. Try negotiating your salary or wage as this may work in your favour.
You may also turn a hobby into a financial opportunity or have multiple income streams including investments. Pay down any debt this year. You may be thinking of renovating also, but do weigh up the pros and cons. Will renovations increase the value of your property? Are your proposed renovations financially wise? You might also buy a new car in the 2nd half of the year, so save your pennies to allow you to do so.
