During this Pig month in an Ox year, impulsive reactions triggered by negative emotions can get you into a lot of bother. Staying home and hiding under the duvet is not the answer. Being aware of how you are feeling and taking a nice deep breath and counting to ten before you say or do anything is probably the best way for you to stay out of trouble. Even if you think you know what someone is about to say, don’t interrupt and finish their sentence for them. Listen until the end and feel pleased and smile to yourself if you accurately predicted what was about to be revealed. Smile an even bigger smile if you didn’t second guess what was about to be said, because you avoided jumping in. When it comes to non-urgent matters do not be in a rush to solve a problem that does not exist, for you will create a new problem in the process. On opening a package you have been waiting for, don’t be tempted to send it back because you were expecting something different. Check what you ordered. Apply some good old fashioned common sense in dealing with any situation and you can enjoy this month.

Love

Promises, promises and promises; make them, keep them and try not to break them. If you want your love life to run smoothly this month, be true to your word and keep whatever promises you make to your beloved. It may only be small promise, but in a new relationship it demonstrates your integrity, and in an established relationship it shows you are not taking your other half for granted.

Career

Is your opinion of a colleague based on emotion or logic? Keep a cool head in the workplace and don’t let your feelings overrule rational judgement. Rather than fall prey to knee jerk reactions in decision-making, exercise caution and you will avoid having to backtrack to undo what was done in haste.

Money

The urge to splash the cash will be flowing hard and fast through your mind like river turning into a waterfall over the cliff’s edge. Remain clear-headed and exercise restraint in financial matters. Friday the 13th might prove to be a lucky wealth day for you.
