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: There is an erratic energy at play today. Everyone would be wise to move a little slower and be alert. Don't despair. Chaos rules and change will happen no matter what. At the same time, forces are at work supporting enormous personal growth and spiritual discovery. Keep your heart open!

Ox: If you can stay focused on obligations at home early today, you will be freer to enjoy yourself later on. The secret is to feel free, even when your duties seem confining. The evening is lucky for love or any big social occasion. Stay in close touch with good friends.

Tiger: People who are tenderhearted and playful will be your best friends today. This could include pets and children. Sometimes it's difficult to feel confident in uncertain times. There is little that can keep you down for long if you maintain your sense of humour and avoid trying to get even.

Rabbit: Today's energy is feisty. Even if you stay close to home near those you love, you may be in for more than your share of emotional confrontations. If you're in denial about your feelings in a particular situation, you're likely to say or do the wrong thing.

Dragon: Avoid the tendency to "fall in love" with anything so strongly that you cannot do without it. This can mean you might leap before you look. Eliminate what is unnecessary from your workspace, your closets and your social calendar. Don't allow secret self-criticism to dampen your spirits.

Snake: You are naturally trustworthy and reliable. Not everyone is as responsible as you. This can make you angry and suspicious of others when they clearly lack a high level of personal integrity. Stick with those people and methods you know you can rely on. This will sidestep any unnecessary drama.

Horse: Visualise your ideal living situation for one year from now. What are you willing to do in order to create your dreams? Write out your goals and post them where you can see them. You will begin to feel the grounding and sense of purpose you have been searching for.

Goat: A confusing energy brings emotional reactions to the surface. This can increases a tendency to worry and be distrustful. Sudden changes of plan can throw you off balance. Stay calm and confident. Believe in your abilities. This will create new possibilities. Be especially nurturing and protective of those you love.

Monkey: You will be balancing a sense of responsibility to others with a desire to focus on your own interests. Do your best to keep things simple. This is not the best time to multi-task: one thing at a time. Events and news from afar should be encouraging. Speak your mind.

Rooster: A misunderstanding could lead to an unnecessary estrangement. Rather than have a chat, you might withdraw to feel sorry for yourself out of hurt feelings. Stress or unrealistic expectations can make you behave badly. Do your best to remain calm. Try to see things from another's point of view.

Dog: Calm people who don't easily show anger are your best friends today. Pay attention to your health. It's important to attend to needed care. Be creative about finding resources if necessary. Speak out if you aren't getting what you want. People from different cultures have good ideas.

Pig: Base decisions on a firm foundation and doors will open more doors. Avoid impulsive reactions if your options seem limited. The energy could bring a crisis and breakthrough in an important relationship. You will benefit from a quiet evening close to home. How would you like the upcoming year to be better?
