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: This is no time to blame others if you're upset or discouraged. Upsetting situations can be opportunities in disguise. The energy today encourages you to be more aggressive about getting what you want. You can make a big difference in the life of a child with something only you can offer.

Ox: This may be one of those days when you feel a strong need to take charge and organise your family. It could be more like herding cats than you'd hoped. Sometimes the best course is to allow others to make their own mistakes. Too much management only creates secrets and resistance.

Tiger: Keep an eye on your finances. Saving and paying debts should be the priority. The energy brings good luck with investments. Make plans for the benefit of your family. It's good to move beyond what is comfortable. You're developing self-confidence with a serious and dignified manner that people trust.

Rabbit: You may be in the middle of a stubborn problem or conflict that simply does not respond to your usual methods. An attitude of 'my way of the highway' is likely to backfire, leaving you frustrated. The best way to cope is to keep things as simple and uncomplicated as possible.

Dragon: Rough times and disappointments happen. Stressful situations will have an impact on you and your family. Avoid any temptation to manipulate or control events or people. Controlling acts set limits around real possibilities for positive change. Be sure you are eating, exercising and sleeping to be your best.

Snake: Make an effort today to be realistic about an important relationship. Even if you care for someone dearly, other factors can be necessary for success. A passionate relationship will not last if you do not have a solid, basic compatibility. You cannot demand that another care the same way as you.

Horse: Any sort of social event will show you at your best. The desire to make a good impression or do something special for your family could make you impulsively spend too much. Think twice about any big-ticket item. The best policy is to pick the best quality within your budget.

Goat: This can be a low-energy day. It's important to do your best and patiently wait for things to improve. You may be pulled in several directions at once. Cut down on the amount of texting and Web surfing you do. Quiet and simplicity are powerful tools for peace of mind.

Monkey: Pay closer attention to your personal finances. This is an excellent day to make or review the family budget. It can be a very pleasant afternoon. If you have a sweetheart or are looking, the energy supports getting out and having fun. Be flexible if someone suggests doing things differently.

Rooster: It will be easy to be disciplined and productive. You might feel moody and irritable without knowing why. Clean your house and do your work. As much as possible, don't allow others to take advantage of your generosity. You're only responsible for your own actions. Be direct when speaking.

Dog: You'll see the results of earlier decisions. Is it time to change direction? Stay calm, make lists and take a down-to-earth approach. Pay attention to little details. This afternoon, you may want to do something unexpected. It is possible to clear the air with a difficult person.

Pig: Today it's better to be conservative than take a risk on big dreams. The family needs your leadership to face unresolved issues. You have the skill to bring welcome stability to intense situations. Be honest and hold your ground if you hope to make changes at home.
