We are now in the Year of the Metal Rabbit

Weekly Chinese Horoscope - 18/04/11

Your weekly Chinese horoscope for this week is:

Rat - You'll be feeling quite contemplative this week and so this can really go one of two ways. If you focus on positives, it's a great time for working out your next steps. But if you think glum thoughts there's a risk this will pull you down for quite some time.

Ox - Don't let people push you or rush you into making decisions that you would prefer to mull over this week. It is not in your nature to act impetuously so take your time and let others know that that is precisely what you will do.

Tiger - It seems that you need to brace yourself for some potentially difficult times moneywise this week. Nothing too serious but you will need to make sure that you spot the signs of something that could get worse if left.

Rabbit - A lot of good energy around you this week and it seems that you will open up some more opportunities for it! It's all about being excited about what can happen rather than nervous.

Dragon - A very busy time but with not a lot happening for you this week Dragon! It will feel like your head is spinning at times but don't worry, you don't have to react to all of it.

Snake - You may feel like everyone is against you this week or that you are constantly confronted with hurdles to cross. Try to work with people rather than against them, at least for the time being ;)

Horse - Don't try to do too much at once this week as it seems you will be a little vulnerable to confusion and even absentmindedness. Take a more relaxed pace if it's at all possible.

Sheep - With the warmer weather upon us, it is really bringing out the best in you and others will not fail to pick up on it. A great time to make connections.

Monkey - Long term love is what it's all about for you this week. If you are in a relationship whereby you have been together some time, you will enjoy the closeness and the comfort of this.

Rooster -This is a good week for connections and business/work for you but less satisfying when it comes to the smaller matters in life. A week for priorties methinks!

Dog - Don't get caught up in trivialities this week, there is a lot of it about and it will only drain your energy and distract you from what's important. And you really need your strength at the moment.

Boar - You're normally so reliable but this week it seems that you are going to be tempted by things that you shouldn't be! This may affect relationships or even your health if you find it's food. Be resilient!

Weekly Chinese Horoscope - 11/04/11

Here is this week's weekly Chinese horoscope and I hope it means an eventful week for you all :)

Rat - A fantastic week for you if you are expecting some rewards at work. It needn't be financial but you will see compliments, respect and potential openings in terms of promotions.

Ox - You may be feeling a bit down in the dumps this week actually. Not that you need to worry about anything in particular so do try to pep yourself up somehow. The good news is this feelings will pass.

Tiger - A good week for love whether you are attached or single! There are some really great high points for you and if you embrace them fully you will have a great time.

Rabbit - Don't be shy of flirtations coming your way this week, it seem that you can trust that there are more genuine intentions deep down.

Dragon - Being at the heart of your family is what gives you the most pleasure and comfort this week. If it's been a while since you had the time to do this then you will be all the more satisfied.

Snake - You will not know whether you are coming or going this week if you are the typical Snake. It's not a state of mind that you handle too well either so do try to keep calm and accept that everything will sort itself out.

Horse -You want to do things your own way this week and there is no point in really fighting these feelings. Go with it and push forward with what you want to do.

Sheep - There is a feeling of romance around the flirty Sheep this week but be careful of taking it any further. This may not be a good long term match for you.

Monkey - You're very fired up this week, raring to go! Just make sure that you take the time to think through what you're doing so you don't waste all this fantastic energy.

Rooster - Bit of a tricky week for the Rooster I'm afraid. It's quite possible that you will be getting hassle from all angles. You have a quick temper and this may be on display more than a few times!

Dog - Don't take your eye off the ball too much this week as it may open up the chance for someone incompetent, or even unscrupulous, to spoil things for you a bit.

Boar - Good results for you at work or in new ventures this week and so it's really going ot boost your confidence and propel you forward to bigger and better things!

Weekly Chinese Horoscope - 04/04/11

So wha's in store for you this first week of April? Let's take a look at the weekly Chinese horoscope!

Rat - A great week for love for the Rat this week! This will be particularly the case for those hoping to meet someone so make sure you are looking your best ;)

Ox - If you are feeling a bit under the weather or even despondant this week, you will need to try to keep things into perspective. Don't let negativity swamp you.

Tiger - A fantastic time for you in love this week! Existing relationships will have a great boost and you will feel contented and misty eyed ;)

Rabbit - You're going to need to be careful how you go about relationships or friendships this week. There is the potential for some friction and you don't want to be blamed for it, so just try to be diplomatic when you can.

Dragon - Try not to be too impetuous this week as it will only set up bigger problems for you in the coming weeks. Take a step back and you wil see that not everything is as it seems anyway.

Snake - You are normally very cautious by nature but this week you will be feeling uncharacteristically chipper! It will be a great time to meet new people.

Horse - A time for you to appreciate the simple things in life but also to make sure that you are realistic in your expectations of what can happen.

Sheep - Stress seems to be a risk for you this week. Make sure that you don't blow it all out of proportion, you can't aways lead the good life!

Monkey - You may be under a lot of pressure this week but don't be hasty in your decisions. It is not the time to rush anything as others will be unhappy.

Rooster - Whatever you have been putting off, this is the week to tackle it head on. It needn't be about confrontation but more that there seems to be the right energies to sort things out or clear the air.

Dog - You'll really be sharpening your focus this week and you will see so many tedious jobs get done because of it. It may not be a fun week but it will be a useful one!

Boar - A strange week for you, one that is likely to leave you feeling a bit unsure of yourself. Best to be honest rather than bury your feelings and you may just be a bit more clear about what's going on.

Chinese astrology compatibility

I have written an article on Chinese astrology compatibility so please feel free to have a look!

Weekly Chinese Horoscope - 28/03/2011

Here is your weekly Chinese horoscope for the week beginning 28/03/2011. Hope all looks good for you!

Rat - It's a good time for you to keep an eye on the smaller details of your life this week, make sure that you have not been missing anything really important. It will prevent it all getting out of hand.

Ox - A very productive week for you if you can just fall short of over-stretching yourself or even - dare I say it - being a little but arrogant. But certainly a lot can be achieved.

Tiger - A great time for ideas and creativity as you will be full of energy and enthusiasm this week! If anyone wants a favour from you, now is most certainly the time to ask.

Rabbit - This might be a bit of a mixed week for you Rabbits actually. There is a feeling of uncertaintly around you and you may need to ask yourself if everything is quite as you thought it to be.

Dragon - Love is the central factor of your week! That gets a fanfare from us at Chinese Love Horoscopes as usual :). It is a time when you will feel obstacles are removed and you start to see things moving along more freely so get chatting up those who you fancy!

Snake - Another good love sign this week, particularly if you happen to be single as the Snake will be successful with new romantic connections.

Horse - Don't worry about things too much this week - that would seem to be the main message coming through for you. It's about trying to keep everything in perspective.

Sheep - This is a great time to reflect on your life as you will be likely to be in the mood for analytical circumspection! Think about whether you are doing all you can for yourself.

Monkey - Try not to be too controlling this week as it will only backfire on you if you are. Trust in others and you are likely to have a much easier time of it.

Rooster - You're very opinionated this week - as ever. But try not to let this affect your relationships as there does seem to be an extra determined side to you!

Dog - You could well see some long awaited success this week so do try to make sure that you don't relax too much and think that it's all falling into place. You will need to keep plugging away.

Boar - You need to make sure that you hold back and are restrained in how you deal with people this week. However frustrating they might be, you don't want to cause further problems for yourself.

Summer and the rise of yang

First day of summer tomorrow and I'm sure we are all looking forward to some better weather and approaching holidays! Not to mention a bit of summer loving ;) Here at Chinese Love Horoscopes, we totally approve of this time of year of course.

But why would summer have anything to do with Chinese astrology you ask? Because this relates to a yearly cycle that includes the opposite energies of yin and yang. Yin represents the darker months and encourages rest and recuperation over these seasons. But come spring and leading into summertime, yang's energies rise to be more powerful and it gives us the chance to bloom and grow to our full potential.

So how will summer affect the different signs of the Chinese love horoscope? Let's take a look!

Rat - The summer is a time of plenty for the rat and relationships will be blessed with extra security. If you are a single rat, it is likely that love is to be found closer to home than you might have thought.

Ox - Those born under the sign of the Ox love this time of year and enjoy the feeling of being useful to those around them. Allow yourself to thrive and you will build some strong foundations in your relationships for the rest of the year.

Tiger - Summer tends to make the Tiger a little impetuous and so make sure that you don't make any rash decisions and confuse those around you. It is a great time for you to show others that you care though as it will seem much easier for you.

Rabbit - The Rabbit would do well to avoid any kind of argument or conflict at this time of year as it does tend to go to their heads and get out of hand. For Rabbits with a family, this is the time of year to make them your priority.

Dragon - The Dragon likes changeable times and the summertime needs to be unsettled for him or her to thrive. So if it's sunny one minute and raining the next, the Dragon will full of energy and romantic trysts will be more likely!

Snake - If you are born in the year of the snake, you are likely to feel like slowing down over summer and may even be prone to a lazy streak at this time. But if you are wanting to get closer to one, this is the time to do it! They will be more susceptible to your advances ;)

Horse - The Horse can be a little prone to spontaneity at the best of times but in the summer, there is no stopping them! With regards love, this will be the time for flings and holiday romances.

Sheep - Over the summer, Sheep like to be around others even more than usual and so they are to be found at parties and gatherings as often as their busy schedules will allow! A good time for single sheep to pick up some admirers along the way.

Monkey - Those born under the sign of the Monkey do love to play over summer! This would be the best time to encourage them to be more creative or even to widen social circles. In love, the Monkey is very relaxed and a good friend at this time of year too.

Rooster - The Rooster likes to party over summer. They hate to waste the long summer evenings and they are drawn to the light and the warmth. Not always such a good time to be the partner of a Rooster though as they can put their energies all into work if they feel inclined.

Dog - In the summer, the Dog likes to focus on those close to them and so established relationships will flourish. This doesn't mean that single Dog's will not find anyone though but starting with a friendship will probably work best.

Boar - If there is a time for those born under the sign of the Boar to fall in love and thrive in a relationship it's the summertime. This is when they like to play and you will see the fun side of their personalities. Relationships that do start at this time though are likely to last and not just be a fling.

Weekly Chinese Horoscope 21/03/11

Ok, here's your weekly Chinese horoscope and here's also hoping it's going to be a great one for you!

Rat: You may need to be careful who you take into your confidence this week as someone is either not as they seem or looking at for their own interests at your expense. Fortunately you are usually pretty canny and should spot them.

Ox: Try to avoid being too contrary this week as it's only going to lead to further problems that you don't have time to solve right now. Bite your tongue if you have to.

Tiger: It seems like a little bit of love is coming your way and lifting your spirits this week. This is either a current relationship improving or maybe even someone new coming along for you single Tigers out there.

Rabbit: Work concerns will be your main focus this week and this is unusual for you. Normally you sail through these things so don't let it get out of hand or overwhelm you.

Dragon: Not so much love but passion is certainly in the air for you Dragons this week! Seems you are irrisistable so enjoy every moment of it ;)

Snake: More often than not you are well organised and have a contigency plan. But this week you may well feel things are slipping out of your control so try not to let emotions follow suit.

Horse: To let off steam, rather than let anger take over, reach for something more enjoyable instead. It may be a good ole chinwag or picking up a book or even a bit of flirtation with someone you have your eye on. Treat yourself!

Sheep: It's all about the money for you this week! You can find yourself lucky or you may well just find you have more than you thought. Try not to spend it all at once though ;)

Monkey: You pride yourself on being a good judge of character and so it may surprise you to find you have got someone a bit wrong this week. Try not to be too stubborn and just admit you were wrong.

Rooster: It's spring and everyone is starting to too feel good. But everyone is going to surprised when even you join in and kick back and enjoy yourself. Frankly though, why should you?!

Dog: This week is going to be a good time for you to get everything done that you have wanted to lately. Everything is going to start shifting and suddenly you will see results.

Boar: This week is an excellent time for you to up your business or career and to see the money rolling in. Don't put your efforts where they are not working though, this is about being single-minded about what's working out well for you and what's not.

Weekly Chinese Horoscope 14/03/11

So, what's in store for you this week! Here's your weekly Chinese horoscope.

Rat - Not a time to overindulge for you at the moment, this week is all about you looking to the future and making sensible, if a little boring decisions.

Ox - If things have not gone so well for you lately you may well be tempted to cut corners this week, just to feel like you are getting somewhere. You will only regret it later.

Tiger - There is a sexy feeling around you this week Tiger! It is a good time for you to draw someone you like in, to get their attention and then get in close for some flirtations.

Rabbit - This week you need to address your priorities and to make sure that you are giving your attention to the most deserving in your life.

Dragon - The Dragon does have a tendency to be a bit gung-ho about things sometimes and this week, you'd do well to ask yourself if you are being totally realistic.

Snake - You may well have the hots for someone at the moment but it does not mean that they are right for you! Give it a little more time to see if it's going to work out for you.

Horse - You are quite likely to be seeing some progress from all of your efforts lately but do try not to let that fire you up too much. As long as you can handle your work load, you are getting the balance right.

Sheep - You can be a sensitive soul which is very often one of your best qualities. However, the down side is a tendancy to worry too much which is what you are in danger of this week. Try to find time to relax.

Monkey - You have very high expectations for yourself and you also expect them from others. Often, you are disappointed. But try not to let tempers flare if you can help it.

Rooster - You've got your logical head on this week and it will help you to not only get yourself organised but others too! Just bear in mind you may need to be subtley persuasive.

Dog - It may feel like not enough is being done for you in return for all you do for others this week. But there's nothing wrong with saying it straight every now and then - tell them to pull their finger out!

Boar - If you're not happy about something this week, don't store it up and let resentment fester. It needn't lead to a row if you speak the truth as you see it.

Ox - You might be a bit tetchy and on edge for no apparent reason this week so be careful that you don't snap at someone and later on regret it.

Tiger - Not everyone is going to be swayed by your enthusiastic persuasions this week, you are likely to be met with caution and hesitancy. Just bide your time for now, a better opportunity will come along.

Rabbit - Sometimes people take advantage of your laid-back and kind nature and it can all get a bit too much for you. Time to put your foot down this week as it's otherwise going to mean that resentment building up.

Dragon - Resolution is the general theme of the week, loose ends being tied up. It may have have been hard to get to this stage but you can pat yourself on the back.

Feng Shui and Chinese Astrology seminar in San Francisco

Should you be in the location of San Francisco on March 13th, then there is a seminar on Feng Shui, Chinese astrology and using both to adapt to changes in your life in 2011. Details are here. I don't really know too much about it myself as I just came across it whilst browing the internet! But looks interesting and I'd definitely give it a try if I were in the US :)

Monday, 21 February 2011

Weekly Chinese Horoscope

Here's your weekly Chinese Horoscope for week beginning 21/02/2011 - in other words TODAY!

Rat - Work on your people skills this week! Something seems to come out wrong whenever you try to help and all your good intentions wil go out the window. So best to just tone it down anyway to avoid getting into trouble with your nearest and dearest.

Ox - Sentimentality doesn't always come easily to you so it's no surprise when you find yourself a little clumsy when these feelings wash over you this week. I'm sure everyone will realise what you are trying to say really!

Tiger - If you have been busy lately you may have not spent the time connecting with your inner self. If you are now aware of what the symptoms of this might be, consider whether you are feeling distracted and a bit antsy. If so, some quiet, thoughtful contemplation is in order.

Rabbit - Don't give in to your flighty side this week. You may feel like avoiding the more boring chores or obligations but they are only going to pile up and get you into trouble later on.

Dragon - A quiet week for you would be welcome as there is a slightly more tranquil energy around you than is normal for the normally dynamic Dragon!

Snake - You're always ultra cautious by nature but this week your instincts seem to be set on high alert. Try to relax if you can, you'll wear yourself out.

Horse - There is a lovely feeling of being rewarded for all you have done for others this week. Bask in the attention, it is well deserved.

Sheep - There is a possibility of you being a little better off financially this week but this is not always a good thing with the more shopping mad of the Sheep out there - do try to be sensible!

Monkey - Work is important to the Monkey this week. Work is almost always important to the Monkey of course but there could well be more than usual happening right now.

Rooster - This is a time for exercising caution for Roosters this week. There could be people around you who are not acting in your interests and will go about this by flattering your ego. Resist.

Dog - For those born in the year of the Dog, this is a good time to make decisions. You will be alert and keen and just in the right frame of mind to do so.

Boar - A creative and productive week for you Boars! There will be something about all you do this week that will seem like an awful lot of fun and not so much like work. Long may this continue.

Tuesday, 15 February 2011

Weekly Chinese Horoscope - 14/02/11

Woohoo, it's Valentine's this week! So what has our Chinese Love Horoscope got in store for us in this most romantic time of the year?

Tiger - There is a bold feeling to the Tigers of the world at the moment and they are a forced to be reckoned with. So if you particular need to try and influence anyone, then now is the time to give it a try.

Rabbit - The Rabbit does not like direct confrontation normally so the fact that arguments may spring up this week means that things must have been building up. Try to find a resolution to stop things getting out of hand.

Dragon - The Dragon faces a lot of opportunities if they are single and so there is no need to spend Valentine's alone. Just use that confidence and bravado of yours to help you overcome any nerves.

Snake - If you're feeling lonely this week then try not to rush into any relationships that you feel are not actually right for you. Your time will come, don't worry.

Horse - Sometimes your impetuous nature can get you into trouble, but this week you feel the need to be diplomatic. It will be very much appreciated.

Sheep - This week you will need to make the most of your ability to step back and let others lead the way. Not that this makes you weak at all, it means that you will be able to reflect and act when the time is right.

Monkey - A lot catches up with you this week, it's time to work out where you go from here and what you want to do in the coming months.

Rooster - There'll be a spring in your step this week and you will feel that anything is possible. So it's the time to maximise all opportunities that come your way - seeing as you will be feeling so invincible!

Dog - You have an all or nothing attitude this week. It'll really get things moving along in the right direction but you do need to be careful to listen to the suggestions of others too.

Boar - There's a risk of you getting ahead of yourself this week. It's not that you shouldn't really go for it, but you do need to make sure that you don't rush and make unnecessary mistakes.

Tuesday, 8 February 2011

Weekly Chinese Horoscope - 7/02/11

Rat - You'll be in your element this week as work and money are big focuses for you! Just try not to get too absorbed in getting ahead and remember the thoughts of feelings of others. Bring out your protective side.

Tiger - Lots of energy around you this week! Unfortunately, with it comes the risk of arrogance so make sure that you think through your decisions - look at the long term consequences.

Rabbit - So what's ahead in the first week of your year then Rabbit?! You get of to a characteristic start really. It's an emotional week for you in the sense that feelings guide you and are your indicators of what is the right thing to do. You will deal with it well as ever.

Dragon - Your very determined this week, something has been building up and you feel ready to pounce. Just make sure you listen to those you trust as you may be missing something important.

Snake - It's time for you to relax and leave people be this week, not something you generally feel comfortable doing. But you will feel all the more rested for it next week so it's really worth it.

Horse - Not everything that feels good is actually good for you - you know this but find it so hard to resist temptation! But it seems you may have indulged too much lately so time to give yourself a health kick or to take a step back emotionally.

Sheep - There's a temptation to tell someone that they're wrong this week, nerves seem a bit frayed. But you run the risk of drawing too much attention to yourself at the wrong time if you do this so hold your horses if you can.

Monkey - For reasons that may not be your fault, you may find yourself in the middle of a whirlwind of activity or tension this week. Much as you like to be in control don't let your mouth run away with you and keep schtum!

Rooster - You'll be even more alert than usual this week, something triggers your keen senses. You may not get to find out what it is just yet though.

Dog - You are loyal to a fault and this week you may find that tested to the limit. Make sure you do not get swayed too much when faced with difficult decisions.

Boar - Money seems to be the biggest issue around you this week and it's a good time to give your finances a lot of thought. It's a good time to start thinking of new directions and opening up new opportunities however you can.

Chinese New Year - The Year of the Rabbit pictures...

Tuesday, 1 February 2011

Chinese Horoscope - The Year of the Rabbit!

It's very nearly the year of the White/Metal Rabbit - February 2011 is here! And so what can we expect on terms of our Chinese horoscopes and, more specifically, our Chinese Love Horoscopes?

As far as Chinese Love Horoscopes are concerned, we all in luck - the Rabbit signifies love and romance. With its lively but kind nature, the rabbit brings the softy out in all of us and makes us susceptible to cupid's bow. The good news is that because the Chinese Astrology Rabbit is so liked and favoured by everyone, it is likely that this will touch upon all of our lives at some point this year. The only ones who will be furthest from the Rabbit's energies are the Roosters. But they are strong enough to cope I'm sure ;)

What Influence Does the Metal Element Have in the Year of the Rabbit?

The metal rabbit is a little more tough and tencious than other rabbits. There is a determination within that may not be immediately obvious but you'd do well to take the metal rabbit seriously in your dealings with them. For the rest of us, it's good news though! This means that 2011 will be the time to fight for what you want, that there is a strong energy behind us a a force to motivate us to get all we deserve.

Another fine trait of the metal rabbit is to like the finer things in life, to be a little indulgent. It may not be all about money which is for the best in such austere times as we are living in now. But take this as encouragement to enjoy the beauty in life, make this the year you slow down a little and take in the simple pleasures.

But because of their slightly more sturdy natures, the metal rabbit is not as fluffy and cute as he/she may appear so this year we must all be wary of letting jeaousy or moodiness take over.

Which Signs Will Benefit Most From the Year of the Metal Rabbit?

Because of their similar natures, the Boar and the Dog may do extra well this year. This is because they have the sensitivity to thrive in these energies and can find themselves moving forwards where previously they have found themseves at a standstill.

If 2011 is the Year for Love Can I Expect Anything Good for my Career?

Yes, absolutely. It's the determination and steel of the metal rabbit that you need to try to look for or even emulate. To persevere when you feel like giving up, to believe in yourself even when you face setbacks. You may not see quick returns for your efforts but you will feel all the more proud for what you achieve in the long run.

So Happy Year of the Metal Rabbit - hope it's a great one for you! xx
