The Rat Chinese Horoscope for 2017
The Year of the Rat is the first in the Chinese zodiac. Rat years start at the Chinese New Year (new or dark moon) and in 2017 this is January 28. A new moon occurs at a different time every year according to the lunar cycle. Rat years are 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020 and so on.
Life in 2017 – Take Care
You are likely to be more emotional this year which has both ups and downs, so make sure you express your emotions appropriately. The upside of this newfound emotionality is the ability to relate to others and in turn for them to relate to you. You are likely to be more confident and warm thus attracting new people into your life, so expect some new friends this year.
Watch your health during 2017, especially energy blockages in the abdomen leading to indigestion and other problems. Pay special attention to your diet and exercise program and make sure you get plenty of good quality downtime, resting adequately.
Don’t take unnecessary risks with your physical body and be especially careful of tripping or falling. It’s a good idea to try and spend time alone in nature meditating at the beach or in a forest.
Love in 2017 – Time to Commit
2017 is a fortunate year for Rats in love and romance. It may even be good enough to finally get married! If you’re already married, you may consider children because this year is all about deepening and committing further to relationships. If you’re single, you are also likely to be fortunate in love. No need to rush anything as the Universe is smiling upon you this year for romantic relationships.
Just a note of caution – if you’re already in a committed relationship, don’t be tempted to stray during 2017 for you are likely to get caught and the fallout won’t be pretty.
Single rats looking to meet new people will be helped along by favourable influences. You will strike up new friendships easily. You may find your emotions full on or full off. Try to practise moderation in all things this year, especially your emotions and sexual urges.
Money in 2017 – Help from Above
Rats are likely to receive help with their careers this year. In turn this is likely to lead to more money. Make sure you put yourself into a position where help can be easily offered. You might consider working more, or somehow attracting the positive attention of those in authority. Appreciation at work is likely to be shown for your increased efforts during 2017.
There are favourable energies for unexpected windfalls so be sensible and invest wisely using your Rat instincts.
