Tropicana Jan-Feb 2018 #116 A Start from the Heart

CHINESE ZODIAC
Monkey
It’s not a good year for the
monkey. Nevertheless, all is
not lost. If you are studying
and wish to embark on
something different and
change directions, this would
be the year to do it. You are
not going to make any extra
income this year so just stick to
your job and do it well. Changes
at the workplace could happen,
so it is best to cut down on expenses. Should you
be offered a promotion or different job scope, it
will work out well as it offers an opportunity to
learn new skills. The monkey is doomed where
relationship matters are concerned. It’s best to
treat all the people in your life with an extra dose
of friendliness and respect. Love will be volatile
so plan ways to please your partner. This will help
your relationship survive. In addition, travelling
will be a good option.
Rooster
It is not a totally dismal year for the rooster as
there are some nice moments to look forward
to. If you are in business, you will have a steady
flow of income, and as an employee you are in
line for a promotion with increased pay. For
both business person and employee, because the
energy of the year is prone to fights and disputes,
it’s best to play it safe in all aspects. This could
lead to the loss of money so play everything by
the book. Arguments are rife and will not benefit
you, so keep clear. It’s going to be a slow year, and
you will need to do everything in a methodical
way with evidence that you did it. Marriages
could bring change, whether a child is born or
a divorce as a result of an affair. Those who are
single may find themselves more serious about
a long-term partnership, and this could lead to
marriage.
Dog
It’s a rather topsy-turvy
year for the dog with
one day being lucky
and the next day, not
so lucky. Due to your
friendly nature and kind
disposition, you have the
ability to turn dismal days
to your favour. Just don’t
let your emotions get the
better of you as it could
go badly if you are in a
dispute. Financial fraud
may haunt you but don’t
be tempted to go down that
path again. Steer clear and stick to the rules. Don’t
expand your business or ask for a raise. Don’t hang
onto the promises of those who would take what you
have. You could make loads of money in 2018 and
lose it just as quickly. Don’t get overly emotional, as
you have to practice self-control not to get involved
in fights. Less involvement is best, and the situation
will remedy itself. Focus on entertainment and the
arts this year. One of the biggest challenges this
year is your health. You may suffer a breakdown
or accident and it could cost you a hefty sum. Take
the time to do things with care and diligence. For
love and romance, it’s a rocky road ahead. Make
friends and don’t dominate your
partner or you stand to lose
the relationship. There
could also be a marriage
on the cards for those
who are single.
Pig
The pig gets lucky this
year being blessed with
prosperity and auspicious gettogethers.
Because all outcomes
are dependent on the events that
precede them, this will only come to a pass if the pig
behaves and considers the energy of the dog year.
Employees stand to benefit if they show skill and
foster good relations with other co-workers; likewise
for the business person. Personal relationships will
be a decisive factor in wealth creation for the pig,
hence you will need to work hard. Marriage is on
the cards for those in a relationship and single pigs
can look forward to romance. With disputes and
arguments posing as obstacles for progress, practice
self-control and pace yourself.
