2009 Forecast for The Goat

All the stars may have been in your favor last year, but astrologers predict it will be a difficult 2009. That’s because the Goat zodiac is in clash with Tai Sui, this in turn brings misfortune in areas like career (e.g. no new doggy advertisement contacts or being demoted), wealth (e.g. demoted equals no extra privileges—toys and treats), and canine and human relationship (e.g. bickering). On the positive side, there is a helpful star in your career to moderate the ups and downs. Just stay patient and look forward for a better year in 2010.

Career: This year, you will be easily harmed by villains (i.e. four- and two-legged bullies). In order to overcome your obstacles in your career you must learn to adapt to changes and take concession to avoid troubles. Suppose your human companion’s boyfriend comes over every weekend for sleepover causing you to have interrupted rest at night, what you could do is to sleep on the sofa instead of your cushy bed in the master bedroom. Remember, this too shall pass. You will receive help from influential people and turn bad fortunes into good ones.

Wealth: Financially, wealth luck is down. It’s not a good year to do any investment. If possible, avoid all risky financial undertaking such as taking loans (e.g. borrowing toys from neighbor’s dog) or act as guarantors for others (e.g. protecting your buddy’s territories—fire hydrant). Your financial keywords this year are LESS and CONSERVATIVE. Invest and spend less. Mull over issues thrice before coming to a decision. Take all forthcoming gains and losses in your stride. You must continue to learn and accumulate your wealth—the excess gains you made last year.

Romance: Romantically speaking, there’s nothing much happening for you this year be it for singles or married-canines. What you should strive for in your relationship with your partner is to maintain open communication and harmony at all times. Do not let your financial and career woes to cause you to lose temper and make nasty remarks about your spouse which is so in contrast to your usual nature. To get through this year lovingly, calm and temperance is key.

Health: Average health this year. Simply put, you won’t have any major illnesses but you might encounter a few small accidents if you aren’t vigilant. Be careful when using sharp objects (e.g. refrain from playing worn-out toys or chews) and walking on higher grounds or jumping (e.g. on or off sofa). Fellow canines, especially senior dogs, remember to take your medications (if any) and supplement promptly, and don’t postpone your annual checkup with your vet.
