A decent start, with Wood feeding Fire, but Earth will dominate. Volume fairly sedate.
“The Goat is wooden, it stores, Wood and brings with it Fire and Earth.”

Cashmere (Great!): China investments, China Property, Commodities and Retail related plays.

Scamper (Avoid!): Metals take a hit. Financials and Transport to Underperform.

Fire stats to flare, volatility increases and volume strengthens. The Goat peaks and rears!
“Not obvious in the Bazi, but this Wood Goat brings much Fire in its wake.”

Cashmere (Great!): Renewables and Transport.

Scamper (Avoid!): Financials weak, but improving, Utilities, Technology Retail and Telcos & Internet are volatile.

The Goat meanders down from the peak. Metal and Water improve; Earth declines then rises in the last month. Volume dulls, but picks up midway.
“Some nastiness threatens to de-magnetise your metal - but the 2Q and 3Q are looking strong.”

Cashmere (Great!): Oil & Gas bounces back, Gaming strengthens, but Retail and Gold shine!

Scamper (Avoid!): Renewables dip, Technology and Commodities flounder, Telcos and Internet still crispy. Property weak at first, but turns a corner.

The recovery strengthens. Earth is dampened, as finally some Water appears, but Fire is still in play. The year ends with a dip, but higher than the start.
“No Water in the wooky mix this year . . . Drought and water shortages.”

Cashmere (Great!): Renewables, Telcos and Internet sizzle, Transport strengthens. Financials quietly achieve.

Scamper (Avoid!): China investments, China Property and Retail.

If Hong Kong truly is the meeting point of East and West, then this might be the time to flip over to Western astrology. The 12-year Jupiter return back to the natal sign is meant to herald a good year, but not so with this grand duke. This year, he’s decamped to SW1). So if your front door faces SW, you may want to come in through the bathroom window. As the Tai Sui revolve through the embodiment of 60 famous generals, the incarnation is Xu Caihou. Oh no, that’s only in Zhongnanhai! For the rest of the world it is Yang Xian, a Song dynasty general.

A few general tips: if you’re in finance, then you belong to the metal element (if you couldn’t work that out for yourself, you belong to a base metal). This means you should work for a company that has little to do with, or does not face or is not overlooked by a company belonging to the fire element, such as petroleum and gas companies, hairdressers, cosmetics companies, plastic surgeries, bakeries, cats, or psychologists (well, one of them may be an interloper there).

These good-fortune serial killers are marauding through the west this year - so that’s the direction you need to face. Technically this noxious group occupies SW1 to NW1, that’s from 232.5 to 307.5. Not good if your house faces that direction. In fact, considering all the bad air around housing, this might be a good year to move under a bridge: there’s plenty of healthy airflow and we defy you to find one horoscope this year that predicts bad things for trolls.

NE1 for this one. Pestilent qi, you might have thought, was from walking behind the Goat, but you’ll find it comes from facing 22.5° to 37.5°. Earth and Water Oxen (1913, 1949, 1973, 2009) who have houses facing SW1 are advised to not have a beef with this guy and just buffalo their way out. The hour of the Ox is 1am to 3am, and no-one sees it coming then - so clearly nightclubs and street-cleaning are your favoured occupations this year, or you could just move to Wanchai and do both.

Some stars are made bad, but this was born bad. It is responsible for all long-term sicknesses, some taking upwards of 80 years to manifest. Five Yellows is in the west, so if living in that area of the house, April, July, September and next January are all times you may fall ill. To prevent a trip to hospital you’ll need circular brass or metal objects: now do you understand why urban manhole covers keep disappearing?
