The Horse in 2008

Overall Forecast For The Year
-
Brace yourself for a challenging year, because a clash with the Grand Duke signals trouble ahead. Horses, you should not make any drastic changes in career, relationships or wealth in 2008. This includes relocation, career change, getting married and major surgery - all strict no-no's! This is especially true because of the long line-up of negative stars in your celestial path, which include the Year Breaker, Lan Gan , Tian Chu , Sky Cry (Tian Ku) and Calamity Sha (Zai Sha) stars. It is traditionally believed that this negativity can be lessened by holding a big celebration, so perhaps you may want to plan a big bash early in the year.
-
The Year Breaker Star is likely to bring a loss of wealth and unavoidable large expenditures. Do not make any short-term major investments. If you have to invest, look for conservative long-term ventures. If you are involved in a partnership, you should take extra precautions with finances.
-
You will have to be extra tenacious in getting things done this year, because the Lan Gan Star indicates obstacles and hassles in your endeavours. The Tian Chu Star is essentially auspicious, bringing good food and good travels, but it is negated by the effects of the Sky Cry and Calamity Sha stars, which mean problems in travel. This doesn't mean you should avoid travel! You should travel, but take all the possible precautionary steps - buy insurance, safeguard your money and possessions and allow for delays.
-
Horses do not have any positive stars in this year's Life Palace. Hence, it is best to wait out the storm and postpone important events to the following year. This is not a year to get creative with financial matters - make sure you put your money in savings, and do not make decisions in haste. If you have any important decisions to make, discuss the matter with your elders or seniors, and if there is an important event to be held, it is advisable to select an auspicious date for it.
