What the zodiac signs say today

The Chinese follow a zodiac pattern that is represented by various animals. They believe that the animals also affect the characters of people, just like the western astrology signs do.

Here is what horoscope.com says about the Chinese Horoscope

Rat: Irritable or insecure people bring challenges today. An ongoing drama takes careful handling. Be sure you have all the facts before you jump to any conclusions. If you are not yet exercising regularly, at least try to walk more. Getting outside can have a surprisingly positive influence on your attitude.

Ox: Arguments are possible today. Crude jokes or feisty comments will not be appreciated. If you focus on the negative, there is no room for constructive change. Working cooperatively can have a way of clearing the air. You can easily tackle difficult problems and arduous tasks. Focus on finding practical solutions.

Tiger: Your mind may be clearing after a period when it seemed like worries over home and family were never going to end. The energy today supports creative projects and the interests of children. For the best success, be as diplomatic as possible and avoid being overly demanding of others.

Rabbit: Good humour under stress creates new possibilities. You cannot get what you want by ignoring your real feelings. Fortune smiles on choices made with an open heart. Think about making some small changes to the way you eat and drink that will bring long-term improvements in the year ahead.

Dragon: Today can bring unexpected events. Your ability to market an idea is strong. Even if you want to run of in a new direction, finish what you start. Focus on bringing together your family, particularly children. You may want to have a serious conversation where everyone feels included.

Snake: This is a good time to talk to experts about a family member who is struggling. You may need to help them yourself, just to stay centred. Every person has their own life path and you can only do so much to help. Ultimately, people must make and learn from their mistakes.

Horse: Today will demand all your diplomatic skills. Strong-willed or domineering people might be especially irritating. Listen carefully and try to find common ground. Your ability to adapt yourself to others will smooth the waters. A sincere apology can work wonders. A secret or forbidden attraction can be distracting.

Goat: Don't take on too much today if you hope to meet your commitments. If necessary, reschedule some meetings or obligations. It is better to do a few things well than fly through many tasks. You have a strong presence that can create a sense of security in others.

Monkey: Something very agitating may be at work today. Try to spend more time alone. There is the potential for major arguments if people get in your way. Idle gossip can spoil your mood as well. There is no point in listening to rumours. There is great satisfaction finishing what you start.

Rooster: Feeling you aren't as good as others injures your spirit. It undermines your ability to take good care of yourself. Focusing on what's wrong with your looks can damage your confidence and self-esteem and rarely leads to long-term change. Refuse to let negative thinking run or ruin your life.

Dog: Expect a busy day. You're likely to have to juggle several subjects or conversations at once. Pay close attention to people you see every day. Practise being especially kind to everyone you meet. Having a positive and compassionate attitude sets a wonderful example. Casual conversations can bring welcome opportunities.

Pig: The energy today enhances your friendly and likeable qualities. You may be feeling rather scattered. The tendency is to multitask and then fail to do your best in any one area. Try to keep things simple. It is best to keep people informed if you can't live up to your commitments.
