In 2024, Horses can seize opportunities to expand their horizons through education or seminars. While lucky stars aid in overcoming obstacles, caution is needed due to cursed stars, particularly in high-risk water sports like scuba diving and jet skiing.
- Sheep
(1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015)
In the coming year, Sheep can reap rewards by working towards their goals, with a fortunate star boosting wealth for investments. Career opportunities in female-dominated industries may arise.

Monkeys can expect a positive year, particularly in partnerships, collaborations, and networking. Career-wise, there's potential for progression, including possible raises or promotions.

Favorable stars will assist Roosters in overcoming challenges, ensuring benefactors come to their aid in times of trouble. However, an unfortunate star may impact finances this year. To counterbalance, consider making a significant purchase like a luxury handbag or a car for a "happy financial loss." While a robust romance star shines, it's essential to be aware that relationships may often be fleeting.

(1932, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018)
Dogs face a clash with the guardian deity this year, and they can counter this by embracing auspicious events like marriage, starting a family, buying property, or launching a business. Attending weddings and parties can also enhance their luck. However, Dogs lack lucky stars, necessitating self-reliance. Additionally, a significant cursed star may impact finances, urging caution against aggressive investments.
- Pig

Favorable stars are illuminating Rats' careers, offering a strong possibility of work promotions. Leadership opportunities are also highlighted, making this year especially beneficial for Rats in law enforcement.

- Ox
(1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021)
