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: The energy today could see you at your most exuberant. Even if some areas of your life are limited or demand extra discipline, you can be the best sort of leader or team player. Be alert to political currents around you, and especially watch how people use influence to further their agendas.

Ox: An encouraging attitude toward those around you will be much appreciated today. Slow down - you may be in need of some down-time. Extra stress can have emotions running high and you might say something you'll later regret. The more balanced you feel, the better your day will be.

Tiger: You'll feel less stress when you approach life with an attitude of appreciation for whatever comes your way. Do your best to be realistic about difficult relationships. It's wise to keep talking and not place blame or feel you're wrong. A "live and let live" approach is best.

Rabbit: Things begin to fall into place and set the stage for you to make a big move. You can discover the confidence you need to talk about your feelings. It's important to talk about any idea and its positive and negative potential to make the most reasoned judgment.

Dragon: The day could begin with an intense situation demanding attention. If you get too far out on a limb, you may find yourself stretching the truth to cover the damage. While at times you can get away with a certain amount of deception, today this isn't the best path.

Snake: Don't fall into the trap of believing that if you could change someone you love, your relationship would be better. People rarely change in any fundamental way. To stick with someone, assuming they will change, can be a state of denial. Be open about what you think and need.

Horse: You may be very busy today. Some small event could trigger a reaction that appears completely out of proportion. Consider your options carefully before you act. Your charming and sensual manner attracts many admirers and can bring a romantic encounter. Spend time making your home more comfortable and welcoming.

Goat: This can be a very lucky day for love and romance. Intimacy grows from all sorts of attentive touching. Anything that gives another comfort and pleasure can express deeper feelings and enrich the relationship. Dress your best and enjoy yourself today. Let people know how much you appreciate them.

Monkey: Problems can be solved by doing extra research, networking online, and being open to ideas from afar. Your plans or work assignments should go smoothly. Ignore unnecessarily negative comments. Not everyone is as original and freedom loving as you. Listen more than you talk for best results.

Rooster: This is a lucky day for anything you enjoy. It could be as simple as a big, delicious breakfast and having fun with pets. It's also fortunate for travel. Even cleaning up at home can boost your spirits. Sort out closets and give away what you no longer use.

Dog: With so much going on, you may feel rather moody, even when there is a lot of fun and good cheer all around you. Take time to pamper yourself today. Do at least one nice thing just for you, and no one else. Spending time visiting friends will be great fun.

Pig: Speak up for your own needs today. Arguments can show you where things are out of balance. Don't expect perfection. You can still have a happy life and good relationships even when things aren't all that you hoped they would be. Family responsibilities can bring important lessons.
