Today is a Pig day. The Pig is at the end of the Chinese zodiac cycle before we start again with the Rat, and today is the last day of Goat month.

Rat
Sometimes it works well for you to be subtle in getting your message across for others will understand you without you needing to be blunt. At other times, such as today, the subtly could be lost and others might wonder what you are talking about. Be quite direct in saying what you need to say today and nobody will misunderstand your message.

Ox
If somebody is being really honest with you today you might hear something which is not what you want to hear. Honesty can be a little bit upsetting in that way, yet because somebody is speaking honestly to you, you do not need to worry about their motives. If you can find something helpful in what they say let go of any hurt feelings.

Tiger
Cutting back on certain commitments can mean that you free yourself to fully focus on what is most important. Your enthusiastic Tiger personality has a tendency to say yes and then think about how you will fit it all in later. Today is a time for you to sort out for the coming week what you can and cannot deliver. Be prepared to change existing arrangements.

Rabbit
When someone is willing to lend you a hand, grab hold of their hand and keep them close to you until you manage to complete what needs to be done. It’s so much easier for you to make progress when you have somebody on your side. On a Pig day in Goat month you can expect to find the right sort of support or assistance.

Dragon
Taking a shortcut seems like a good idea in that you could gain some time, but when you cut corners you might miss something that was quite important at the junction. Be wary of skipping steps that you thought were unnecessary. It would take you longer if you had to go back to fill in the gaps you missed in the first place.

Snake
Somebody you find a bit disagreeable is not deliberately trying to aggravate you, they are merely being themselves and their personality seems to grate on yours. There are times that, no matter how hard you try, you are not going to get along easily with certain individuals. Allow them to be different and there is no need to create an upset as a result.

Horse
If you don’t let go of certain existing arrangements then you don’t really have the space to develop new plans. Examine whatever you have been holding onto and see if it’s time to hand over certain things to others who can take better care of them. Clear away something that is old, in order to make way for something that is new.

Goat
When it comes to financial decisions today, if you are not quite ready to act immediately resist pressure from others to make a snap decision. Take time to think over what you are about to do with your hard earned cash and if there are any sort of high pressure sales tactics then you know that is a sign to resist even more.

Monkey
When others refuse to listen to you, you accuse them of being stubborn. Should someone use the stubborn word against you, you can take it that it is a sign that you need to listen to what they have to say.  Do not be in a hurry to pre-judge what they are going to tell you. Listen before you decide whether what they are saying has any sort of merit.

Rooster
You know that when it comes to being patient you do find you have to make a special effort. It does rather feel like your patience is very much being tested today by quirky characters, trying circumstances and unforeseen delays. Setbacks are opportunities to grow and learn. Your Rooster personality knows you will do what you need to do in order to pass the patience test.

Dog
You might feel that certain individuals are coming to challenge your authority. There is no need to be afraid to seek advice from those who are well experienced with the sort of situation you find yourself dealing with today. Give your detractors a clear message about who is the one standing at the front. They are not the ones who are running the show.

Pig
You cannot help thinking that if certain people around you got their act together your life would be so much easier. Although there could well be room for improvement in how others are doing things, you could choose to set a good example by showing them what needs to be done in your most flamboyant style.
