Life in 2017 – Maintain Balance
The key for Sheep this year is to stay busy and active but don’t forget to have time off to relax occasionally. Sheep are known for their warmth and affection but can go off on a tangent in relationships and work. Sometimes these tangents lead to the premature endings rather than sorting out the actual problem. Try and stay the course in 2017 rather than bailing out too soon.
There may be some sticky problems to deal with this year so do try at least to behave responsibly and don’t get too angry when things don’t go your way. Curb any tendencies towards bossiness and stay out of trouble especially in relationships. On the other hand, some sheep can become overly dependent, so don’t fall into this trap either. Try to steer the middle ground and maintain balance between your own needs and those of your partner or your associates.
Watch your stress levels and try not to get overly agitated or anxious, instead stay optimistic and positive.

Love in 2017 – Lucky in Love!
Sheep are considered to be good lovers who show warmth and affection and this year new rams could come visiting your flock. As a result, there could be many changes in your love life this year and you may be attracted to someone new often! If you are single, you are likely to meet someone who may have a connection with your work.
Step out a bit more and be confident because many romantic opportunities will be on offer. Follow you heart this year and you will find happiness in love – lucky ewe! Enjoy yourself! Some sheep will even find marriage and pregnancy on the cards this year.

Money in 2017 – A Mixed Bag
It is time this year to save and watch your budget. Transform yourself into a savvy sheep rather than a sloppy sheep with regard to finances. More words of wisdom – “hold your tongue” in 2017 instead of blurting out your feelings in inappropriate situations, especially at work. There is some energy for losing money through being overly vocal in the workplace, so think twice before speaking when money is involved.
This year brings restarts and reinventions. You may find old projects and jobs needing to be redone so watch your energy and finance levels and don’t try to do too much.
Some success with finances is likely but you have to be careful to maximise your opportunities. The second half of the year brings more success in career than the first, so plan accordingly and hang in there. If you’re patient and work hard, you will reap what you sow later in the year. Put some $$$ away as savings and make sure no handsome ram tries to pull the wool over your eyes. Beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing.
Keep to a budget this year, work hard and you should make progress in the year of the Red Fire Rooster.
