Is 2020 a lucky year for you?
The new year marks a new beginning and the Year of the Metal Rat is filled with endless possibilities. We spoke to feng shui expert Master Sandy Paw and ask her for the forecasts for all the zodiac signs and how they’ll fare this year. Here’s what she had to say.
RAT
Career: ★★★☆☆
Career luck for Rats, by contrast, is way better among other aspects. Under the blessing of Jiang Xing and Sui Jia, auspicious stars that are conducive to one’s career, there is a chance for you to get promoted. However, it’s you will come up against certain obstacles and difficulties in the year of fate (Ben Ming Nian). Don’t worry, all you need to do is improve your ability and skills against a rainy day.
Love: ★★☆☆☆
Plain would be the word to describe your love luck in 2020. For those who are in a relationship, you ought to be more alert when getting along with people, especially the opposite sex. As for those who are single, you can be popular among people due to the success in your career, yet most of your admirers are not the right one for you.
Health: ★☆☆☆☆
You should put most of your focus on your health. If you’ve been diagnosed with a chronic condition, you have to go for regular check-ups in case of the risk of deterioration. Besides this, there’s a great chance of accidents or the disaster of blood you will be under the negative influence of several inauspicious stars, Jian Feng and Fu Shi.
Fortune: ★★★☆☆
When it comes to wealth, your luck can be rather satisfactory in terms of both Direct Wealth and Indirect Wealth(windfall) – this is under the influence of the auspicious star Jin Gui. However, you may find it hard to save your money as there will be some unforeseen expenditure on, for example, doctors’ fees, medication or maintenance costs which will be unavoidable.
What to avoid:
In your year of fate, you should avoid going to places where negative Chi or energy is in abundance, such as the hospital, cemetery or funerals. In addition to this, you’ve got to be especially careful with ‘metal’ this year due to the impact of an inauspicious star. For instance, you have to be careful when driving or operating machinery.
OX
Career: ★★★★★
When it comes to your luck in your career, for those born under the Ox zodiac in 2020, it is marvellous. Your work-life is calm and pretty stable this year. In addition to this, you may get help from a male saviour (Gui Ren) to develop your career. Examples of this include help from your boss and co-workers. As long as you put in the effort, you will shine like the sun when it comes to your career thanks to the blessing of the auspicious star, Tai Yang.
Love: ★★★★★
Congratulations, your luck in love this year is nothing but delightful. Under the influence of some auspicious stars, people will easily get attracted to you. There is every chance to get into a passionate relationship if you are single. As for those who are in a relationship, you will get along well with your partner.
Health: ★★★☆☆
The luck of the Ox is rather unsatisfactory when it comes to health. Try to get outdoors as much as you can to receive the blessing of an auspicious star, Tai Yang (The Sun). Don’t strain yourself too much. Make more time to hang out with friends if possible. It would be good for your mental health as it will de-stress you from the rigours of daily life. Eat well and get enough sleep!
Fortune: ★★★★★
When it comes to fortune, it’s definitely on the rise. The income from work is not bad and there’s a good chance of getting a promotion as well as a pay rise. On the other hand, the luck for a windfall or a chance in gaining fortune is not as good compared to gaining Direct Wealth. Some advice: Think twice before investing.
What to avoid:
Due to the negative impact of inauspicious stars, Yin Sha and Hui Qi, you should drink less and stay alert, especially around women as there is a certain female villain (Xiao Ren) nearby. Apart from that, for females, you have to pay more attention to feminine hygiene.

Love: ★☆☆☆☆

Even then, stay cautious., You still have to think twice when investing since it can be very risky.
What to avoid:
In 2020, those under the sign of the Tiger should be more aware of the risk of getting sick or getting into accidents.

Other than that, you have to follow traffic rules while driving or you might end up with an injury.
RABBIT
Career: ★★★☆☆
When it comes to the Rabbit’s career this year, it is slowly increasing. The auspicious star, Tang Fu, is conducive to career, especially for those whose careers are associated with public safety, such as a police officer and firefighter. Besides this, with the Tai Yin, an auspicious star, you will encounter your female saviour (Gui Ren) who will have your back. However, due to the negative impact of torturing Tai Sui, you will also be influenced negatively by several inauspicious stars. Parting words: Be careful of the villain (Xiao Ren) around you.

s or problems due to the impact of Tai Sui and other inauspicious stars.
Health: ★☆☆☆☆
Your health is the worst among all these aspects this year. You may sometimes feel tired and out of spirit. To help with this, try to exercise more and eat a balanced diet.
Fortune: ★★★☆☆
The luck of Direct Wealth in 2020 is stable due to your work performance. However, under the impact of inauspicious stars and the punishments of Tai Sui, the luck of getting a windfall is not as stable. One suggestion is to concentrate on your career rather than expecting the returns of investment.
What to avoid:
Since the Rabbit falls in the year of torturing Tai Sui this year, you should avoid going to places where negative Chi or energy is in abundance, such as hospitals, cemetery or funerals. Other than that, you must not be credulous since there are many possible villains (Xiao Ren) around you.
