Chinese New Year starts Jan 22. This new year brings in the Yin Water Rabbit. Every year followers of Chinese metaphysics and astrology look to see what signs clash with the “Tai Sui” or Jupiter. There are five types of clashes, and five animal zodiacs are affected.

The “Same Zodiac” clash, is of course with the Rabbit. It’s not that you have BAD luck, just no luck — be careful this year and plan your moves carefully.

The “Conflict” clash is with the Rooster. Be mindful of your relationships as things in that department are volatile.

The “Destruction” clash is with the Horse. Be active and tow the line at work lest you lose your footing this year.

The “Harm” clash is with the Dragon. Try to keep a cool head and even temper this year as conflicts and arguments arise. Also take care when doing dangerous activities as you’re prone to more accidents during this period.

The “Torturing” clash is with the Rat. Try not to be so hot-headed and hostile; the way you approach things should be taken with care as you may “lose face” this year by acting before thinking.

Remember, this is a generality and only focuses on ONE of EIGHT characters in your Chinese Astrology chart. Don’t fret too much till you have a reading and see how much these clashes will affect you, if at all!
