According to Chinese zodiac, there are 12 types of animals in one cycle which represent 12 different types of personalities.
Feng shui masters have predicted that luck is pretty good for Goats, and 2014 will be a productive year for them.
However, for those who were born in the Year of the Horse will not be as lucky.
Good Feng Shui founder, Kenny Hoo, said other than the goat, the rabbit and pig zodiac also share the same good fate this year.
“This year, for these three zodiacs, they will enjoy stable financial fortune with abundant profits in business incomes and even their studies.” said Kenny.
If they had experienced hardships last year, the Year of the Horse will also bring much luck to those born in the Year of the Snake, Cow and Chicken.
“Those born in the year of the snake, cow and chicken will fall in love or get married this year,” he said.
For those born in the Year of the Horse however, they will be quite emotional and under stress at work. It is important that they know how to relax more and stay quiet for self-protection. They are also encourage to keep a low profile and be patient to avoid unnecessary rumours and jealousy.
“This is due to cosmic influences, the position of the sun, moon and stars will return to its original spot after a 12 year cycle. Those born during that year will experience a huge change in their lives and emotions,” said Kenny.
“For example, those who are not used to change or unsure on how to handle it will feel lost, disorientated and will make a lot of bad decisions. Usually when you enter the same year as your zodiac, you will experience a lot of changes in your life,” he explains.
Those born in the Year of the Mouse will also be affected this year.
“For those born in the Year of the Horse and the Mouse, don’t put your hopes up too high but you must persevere and be patient.
“Usually we encourage people to perform dental scaling or donate blood to balance out their energy and to reduce the challenges they will face,” Kenny said.
He adds that the Dog and Tiger zodiac might also face some challenges but it will not be as bad. They will travel a lot this year.
Nevertheless, the Monkey, Mouse, Dragon and Tiger zodiacs will experience a very busy year.
“The opportunity to travel for them will be high and this means they will be very busy this year,” he adds.
Interestingly, Kenny said that other zodiacs are encouraged to engage with those born in the Year of the Goat so their luck will rub off on them.
“The Goat is known as a noble man. Those born in the Year of the Horse should make partnerships with them,” he said.
“We call this “rubbing off luck”. The Goat’s luck and positive energy can be transferred to those close to them and this can help greatly especially for business,” said Kenny.
