Furthermore, Tigers need to be cautious about their health because it "won't be as robust as previous years". Overall, this year will see progress in the right direction but not very rapid.
Dragon (born in 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000)
Astrologers say Dragons are not in for an easy 2023 as "more inauspicious influences" will keep them "on their toes for much of the year". In regards to career, they will mostly excel and not run into any major problems.
And their income will remain steady if not increase. However, the Dragon's love life will be "rather turbulent". Astrologers say Dragons are "more prone to feeling lonely" even when in a happy relationship. Single Dragons may not enter a relationship this year.
Snake (born in 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001)
2023 will be a positive year for the Snakes in all areas of life ever with minor setbacks, astrologers predict. In work life, Snakes may experience a few quarrels but everything will be resolved on its own timeline.
As Snakes are creative, this may be a good year to feed into inspiration and debut that masterpiece. The Snakes will experience "minor frictions" in their love lives but similar to their work life things will not be resolved instantly. Astrologers say Snakes this year should "stay still" and remain patient.
Horse (born in 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990)
A year of "turbulence" is to be expected for Horses this year, according to astrologers. In regards to career and wealth, those who the Horse's hard work will award recognition where its due while distractions will crop up.
The Horse's love life is set to go better this year as astrologers say to go for it if they meet someone they like. Health will also remain stable.
Goat (born in 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991)
Goats are in for a peaceful 2023 as the fortunate and less fortunate aspects to come up will counteract each other, according to astrologers. Goats are set to be favoured in their careers by "higher-ups and important partners and clients", meaning it's a good year to push themselves beyond their limits.
Their love life will be stable and single Goats will meet plenty of people this year.
Monkey (born in 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004)
2023 is set to be "wonderful and glowing" for Monkeys, but due to a "powerful negative celestial influence", they will have to stay on their toes for most of the year. Astrologers say this negative influence will largely impact the Monkeys' work life.
They say it may be easy to want to quit if things get difficult or boring, but to persevere. What will be more positive is love as they will be popular with who they hope to attract and married Monkeys will fall in love over again with their partners.
Rooster (born in 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005)
Roosters will experience a "polarising" 2023 where their love life will make them happy but they will be "very dissatisfied with work development". Astrologers say their work will be stagnant at best and even give a stark warning that they could lose their job this year.
They warn: "It won’t necessarily happen, but it won’t hurt you to be prepared, either." Roosters never take their work worries home and their love life will be great in 2023.
Dog (born in 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006)
Astrologers predict a "breezy year" for Dogs with "relatively stable fortune". The positive and negative aspects that may come will counterbalance each other.
At work, the Dog will make "more mistakes than usual", but everything is "entirely salvageable" - just make sure it doesn't snowball. The advice for Dogs is to not make a big deal out of anything.
Pig (born in 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007)
Pigs will have an "easy breezy" year with the potential to become a "fantastic year", according to astrologers. The start of 2023 will start off great in terms of their work life, with being trusted more and given more projects.
Love is equally favourable, and the only thing Pigs could run into is health issues but only if they are not taking care of themselves.
Rat (born in 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996)
Astrologers predict a polarising year for the Rat which will include "no end of troubles, minor illnesses and even temporary disasters". On the other side of that, the issues that do crop up are not impossible to handle. Making rash decisions is a big no-no for 2023.
In terms of love, fortune and work, there won't be much luck and at times "rather thorny". However, astrologers say: "This may sound ephemeral, but the Rat’s spirit will undergo such a complete transformation in 2023 that they’ll hardly recognize themselves by year’s end!"
