Goat: Those born in a Goat year should have a generally positive year, but at the same time, it could be an exhausting one. That's why Goats need to care for themselves and rest when needed, says Chow.

Rooster: Roosters need to brace themselves -- the coming months could be unstable and present plenty of changes. Advice from Chow: Embrace the chaos and travel more. To alleviate the blow, they could wear more yellow and brown.

Dog: People born under the sign of the Dog will likely enjoy a pleasant year with significant advancements in career and finance. But they must remind themselves to be humble and listen to others, especially friends and people they trust, says Chow.

Pig: It should generally be a positive year for Pigs, says Chow. "You have to balance your work and play time equally," she adds. "Relationship-wise, it'll be a very good year for you. You will meet new friends and potential new love," she says.

Rat: People born in the years of the Rat could face a tougher year, says Chow. "But when there is yin, there is always yang, too. So remember, it never really is all bad." Rats should be more cautious about health and work. They could be prone to minor injuries and miscommunication this year.

Ox: Oxen will enjoy an exciting year. "They will find new opportunities and their finances will reach a new level," says Chow. Those who are single and looking for love may have some good luck this year.

Tiger: For those born in Tiger years, their "Ben Ming Nian" is over. "That means, whatever tough times and instabilities they're experiencing, it's going to get better soon," says Chow. "But patience is key because changes won't be immediate."
