Your December recommendation was to reach out for more support. Did you try that? Was it successful? Were you able to count on good friends to get you through the Christmas chaos? And what about that quirky little holiday romance? Was the frog more attractive than the Prince after all?
Maybe it was the start of a new romance but it probably was not meant to be a huge part of your life story. I know your love life has been a total void of late, but this month you're headed for a flash-flood in the romance department. You'll be celebrating the new Dog year on the 29th by setting the "prim and proper" Rooster's tail end on fire. And that fire is just the start of your own personal charismatic inferno. You're so attractive this month you're positively addictive. In fact, if you were a perfume you'd carry an age restriction. In short, they'll be lining up for your phone number and throwing roses at your feet.
This month you've got enough sizzling sensuality and Goatly charisma to launch a thousand TV specials. It's as if you are reflecting what everyone secretly desires right back at their unconscious like some magical carnival mirror. But you'd better be careful. Illusions can work both ways and you might end up fooling yourself. You're heady new powers are leaving you at risk of using people to get what you want and hurting those closest to you as a result. No, it's not ok to have an affair simply because you know you have the power to seduce whomever you want this month. No, it's not ok to bat your eyelids and unbutton your blouse to get that flashy promotion when you know your little frumpy friend at the office really deserves it more and can do a better job at it than you. No it's not ok to give your honey a hug and a kiss and say "You can do the housework this weekend while I laze by the pool with a good book." Just so you know, it is really NOT ok to use your charms as a weapon to hurt anyone who you feel is "standing in your way".
Feeling as dazzling as a rainbow may be great for your self-confidence, but be careful what it does to your judgment and maturity. You might just wake up at the end of the month and realize you've sacrificed your self-respect simply for the thrill of being adored and all-powerful. The selfish urge to use this month's magnetism to get what you want at any cost is not conducive to a healthy happy long-term lifestyle. Too much of a good thing can become quite nasty without a little self-control and self-awareness. At work, you're walking a thin line between getting what you want in the short-term at the cost of losing what you need in the long-term. Just remember that convincing yourself that the ends justify the means is still fooling yourself. Don't betray your friendships. No matter how great the material rewards it is never worth it.
Besides, disloyalty is deleterious to the soul. And can even be bad for your health. As full of vitality as you feel at the moment there is a deeper link between your actions and your well-being. Bluntly - guilt will come back at you in indigestion and stress-related disorders no matter how hard you try to bury it. So - be nice to the little people in your shadow. If the boss promotes you, put in a good word for those you're leaving behind. Give them a coffee machine with a portion of your new salary hike and add a little note telling them you'd have never have done it without their help. They won't forget you.
And... next time you need a little favor or two they'll be the first to offer.
Even if your love life starts to spin like a whirligig, take a day off from passion to have fun with your friends. They were there when you were lonely and alone. If you remember them now, they may still be there for you in the future.
It's always good policy to pay back the universe for the support you received last month by being supportive to them now you're such a happy camper. You'll have more than enough to give back this month and the more you take care of them, the more likely they will keep carrying you on that puffy silken throne of admiration.
Use it to your advantage, by all means, but don't abuse it. The Fire Dog is waiting in the wings and Dogs deplore those who use empty charm to get ahead. Dog years only reward those who are sincere, hard-working and caring of their fellow creatures. The easiest way to keep your future trouble-free is to remember that simplicity and sincerity last longer and endure better than glamour and pizzazz.
Your family is not happy with your recent romantic carryings-on. They feel you have been neglecting them - and they are correct. Goats have a tendency to zero in on the squeakiest wheel and ignore the rest of life till that wheel stops squeaking. You do have a history of not being very responsible to family. They remember (even if you would prefer to forget) all the times you forgot their birthdays and didn't show up at their prize-winning functions.
What will result from your continuing to ignore the needs of those closest to you? Well you know better than most because when you need approval or a leg up or a loan, you are the first to turn to them for succor and even rescue.
You had better pay lots of attention to your cousins and aunts and uncles and kids and ex-husbands and wives during this month of January because when the Dog year starts in earnest you are not guaranteed top ranking or priority. You may just be needing help from those relatives you have been so rigorously avoiding.

December was a slow month for Monkeys, but if you took my advice and got plenty of rest and quiet time you'll have survived fairly intact. If not, you may be feeling rather like a plush toy monkey who has been put through the wash and spin cycle a few too many times. This January, is a "Be Kind to Monkeys" month. You're moving from a December of rest and recovery straight on into a January of stimulating activities . On the whole, as your life improves so will your health. Reduced stress means fewer stress-related ailments. Fewer financial struggles mean more time to indulge in a better, healthier lifestyle. It's as if you were reawakening to the joy of being alive. And after such a long hibernation, you're starving for every human pleasure out there. Your appetite for living and love has never been stronger. Don't be afraid of being called a glutton. You've earned a month of excess after the famine you've endured for most of this Rooster year. Gorging yourself on new experiences might even change your career ambitions and lead you to a new (more spiritual) philosophy of life.
At work, your improved energy levels are making it easier for you to focus and commit to whatever needs accomplishing. You'll be breezing through your daily chores and zooming through the extra workload. It might even be worth your while to add some extra commitments to your plate this month. There never was a better time to focus your newly refreshed mind on learning a skill. Try something intricate and complicated that you would usually avoid. A complex new business course in an area that always cowed you before. Or a start a new hobby. Take lessons in that obscure ancient craft that has always fascinated you. This month your mind is sharp enough to help you cope with even the most fiddly and painstaking details. Plus you have the right type of energy and ability to solve problems to stick with any project nor matter how tough or tedious.
But be careful. The cosmos is sending you one warning. New ideas can sound threatening to your entourage. They may provoke a negative reaction. Not everyone is going to leap with joy to see you blossom into a brighter, trendier Monkey. Some of your friends, family and especially your colleagues may even view your transition as a menace. Be prepared to stand your ground and even fight to maintain the image of the new successful you. Remember that their fear of change is their problem, not yours. Continue to move in the direction you know is right for you. You might want to invest in a few "weapons of war". I'd recommend a shield of tolerance and a good suit of armored humor above all else. Those kinds of arms are protective without doing any harm to those throwing their negative fear-of-change arrows around your neck.
In love and friendship you could find yourself delving into the new and unusual as well. Be prepared to find new friends and lovers in the most unexpected places with new kinds of people. Opportunities are out there, but only if you remain open and dispense with any preconceptions you might have. Don't be afraid to take a chance. Trust your heart. Not your head. Your new (zanier) love might drive a neon pink car or make a living as an undertaker's assistant. Perhaps you'll meet at a bookstore where she's giving a reading from her latest book on healing through harmonic color vibrations. Or maybe you'll bump into him as he's on his way to the clown convention in Nebraska. The potential friendships will be just as weird. You remember that crazy old lady you pass in the park every morning? Yes, I know she's thirty years older than you and wears purple sweat pants with yellow track shoes, but she might just turn out to be the best friend you'll ever have. She's got great stories, hilarious jokes, and the wisdom of a life well spent. The message? Look around you this month and look differently. Go beyond the body-piercings and outlandish hairstyles, the tattoos or tatty clothing, the wrinkles and liver spots. You might be surprised what you find shining out of the eyes of people you'd never bothered to look at before. And even more surprised what wisdom and joy they might bring into your life if give them half a chance.
What's going on with your family now? If you have kids and are divorced or separated, this month could be very hairy indeed. Over the holidays, children usually spend time with each parent in different settings. If yours decide to become unruly, you will know the reason why.
There is a cosmic bleep going on in this area of the Monkey's Chinese chart. Family is flashing big time in the sky. You are the only one who can find the solution and once again, it will take some re-organization to make that happen. Be particularly attentive to the needs of the elder children and make certain you are not being persuaded to indulge them. Order and security is what they are seeking.
