What’s in store for the 12 animal signs in 2019?
The Pig is the last sign in the Zodiac, so it’s the end of a 12 year cycle. What Chinese zodiac signs work this year? Animals that benefit from the year are the Tiger, the Sheep (or Goat) and the Rabbit, but the animal that clashes with the year is the Snake, so Snake-born people need to lie low for a while. The Snake is ruled by Fire (they are 1929, ’41, ’53, ’65, ’77, ’89, 2001, 2013). It’s in a clash, due to its direct opposition to the Pig. Such clashes usually bring turbulence, movements, accidents or changes. As it’s a heavy Water and Fire clash, it can stimulate misfortune related to air and sea travel. People born in the year of the Snake should anticipate more travelling, and such things as changing jobs or moving home. Note the Snake month is in May and anyone may be at risk of accidents during that month. It’s necessary to carry the Tiger pendant as protection to deflect the Pig energy. Put a Tiger in your home (artificial, of course!). For people who are in the clash with the year, it’s likely you’ll travel more, making changes such as moving house, or changing jobs.
More on the Nobleman Star — it denotes helpful people. When you need it most, these are the people who will come to offer their assistance. Often they may only make an appearance during a crisis or when you need support. Nobleman luck has always played a significant role in the studies of Chinese astrology as to the type of good fortune you acquire. This is an important type of luck that everyone needs to know about — how to put friendships to good use for improving career or social help through others. Check your Chinese astrology day and year.

Quick summary: The three animals that do best in the Pig year are the Rabbit, Sheep (or Goat), and the Tiger. These animals are in harmony with the year. The animal sign having the most trouble is the Snake. Snake people born in year of the Pig are said to be “offending the Grand Duke” and have a bit of difficulty with this Pig year. A Feng Shui suggestion is for you to carry a pendant of the Tiger to deal with any problems in 2019. Snakes need to look to their home life and to their work commitments.

Last year was a tricky year for some Dog people but this year it’s freed up again and you, like a few other signs, benefit by travelling. If you have had holiday plans in mind and they haven’t worked out so far, then this is the year to get out. Your money flow this year is fine and also watch relationships with family as it could get tricky in 2019, but it won’t be as bad as it looks.
Every Chinese animal sign is different and it’s important to remember that with each animal year there can be one of five different elemental combinations (with the Five Elements). As an example, there are Fire Pig years, Wood Pig, Earth Pig, Metal Pig and Water Pig years. Each of those elemental combinations mean you’ll react differently to the year depending on what elements are in play for you in 2019. If your element clashes with Earth, you may have a tougher, more challenging or testing year. It doesn’t mean you won’t be successful – the challenge may be just what you need to make it work.
May you prosper, experience abundance and be successful in 2019.
