The Rooster is in charge of today and it’s the perfect creature to look at things in detail at the start of the week.

Rat
You can begin to see how certain challenging situations are about to be transformed. Still the changes you were hoping for are not going to happen overnight. You will still need to be patient. Think ahead and be ready for when the changes will eventually happen. Meanwhile, aren’t there other things you need to get busy with?

Ox
The Rooster energies today certainly help you step out and shine. There is no need to try too hard to impress new acquaintances. It is better for you to get to know what people are like on the inside. If someone is meant to walk along life’s path with you, you will get to know each other on the journey. If someone is only meant to cross your path briefly, they will not linger.

Tiger
You love doing things at the last minute, but when there are a lot of other people involved it might not be quite so straightforward. Consider everybody’s timing and schedule as much as your own. You might find that what you need to do is adjust plans to accommodate everybody, rather than trying to do things because you can squeeze it into your schedule.

Rabbit
Other people’s comments can be easily misconstrued as criticism when that was not their intention. Be aware of how you look at things. When you realise it is your reactions that create the situation, just as much as the other person’s thoughts and behaviour, you can begin to see how you can change the outcome by altering how you react.

Dragon
It’s about time that you really got down into sorting out certain minor details, which you have considered not to be that important up until now. When you can iron out these little niggles, you can then free your mind to move onto other new and exciting things. Clear out the old to make lots of space for the new to come in, physically and mentally.

Snake
You might need to look a bit more closely at financial matters today, for the funds you think you have available, might not be what is actually sitting in the bank account. Check all the columns of figures carefully. Make sure that nothing has gone somewhere, where it shouldn’t have gone. Double check, so you know exactly where you stand.

Horse
If you have been burning the candle at both ends, it’s no surprise that you feel as though you could do with taking another rest today. However, it seems as if there is a lot of things that require your attention. See if you can delegate some of the tasks to others, you might even find they do certain things a lot more efficiently than you do.

Goat
If someone is behaving strangely today, then you really need to take them aside and have a quiet word. Although it is tempting to ignore them, by nipping things in the bud you are avoiding bigger problems later. You might find that there are good reasons as to why they are not their usual self. Help them understand what is bothering them.

Monkey
As far as you are concerned, a certain matter is over and done with. There are others who insist that the old matter needs to be looked at again and analysed in more detail. If that is what others insist on, then you can ask them to come back to you if indeed they find that things are now different. Meanwhile, you would much rather focus on what is ahead. Don’t let the past distract you.

Rooster
Your sense of determination is quite sharp today. You are determined to come across as being ahead of your contemporaries. Whilst a little bit of competition can spur you on, there is no need to be overly hostile. Keep things friendly and that way you can enjoy the contest, especially if you know you are already in front.

Dog
When you have said that it’s been unwise to ignore certain things, others have ignored what you have been saying. Today, it becomes apparent that you were right all along but that does not mean you should gloat. It means you need to share with others what you already understand and to do it without bringing up what you were saying in the past.

Pig
Today, you are standing up for yourself on an issue that has been in the background for a while. You might have avoided dealing with this because you didn’t feel you had a strong case. Now that you realise there are facts coming to light, which show that you are standing on solid ground, it’s time for you to clear the air and make your point.
