The Goat is blessed with the “Three Accomplishment Star,” which will be very beneficial for their career, business, and academics. The energy of these stars brings them opportunities to achieve things that they have been targeting.
From the education viewpoint, this is a good year for them to excel in their academics, boost their intelligence, and gain some academic achievement. They can take this chance and pursue further studies. They can enroll in a course that will allow them to acquire new knowledge and skills to get ahead and plump up their resume. This will bring smooth progress in their studies or work endeavors not just for this year but also in the years to come.
This will also be a good year for their career development and progress. They will get appropriate recognition for their hard work and input. Going the extra mile and a few extra hours at work will be aptly rewarded. This is the chance for them to establish a name for themselves in their chosen field of expertise.
Having a Long Yue or the Promotion Dollar on top of their study table or work desk will help pave the way for this to manifest and for the accomplishments to be well within reach.
They should work on their camaraderie and communication lines with their staff, colleagues, and superiors, since a pleasant work environment gives that sense of closeness and working together towards a common goal. While climbing the ladder this year, they should remember to give credit where credit is due.
For those in business, this year brings about potential business expansion and increase in profits. They will have the chance to widen their network and see some growth in their business through prospective business ventures. They will still be given that chance to get ahead as long as they are alert and quick to act on the fluctuating tides of the economy. Being reasonably adventurous, creative, and exploring the road less traveled is one way they can latch onto this approaching good luck for their business. They should keep an open mind, so as to be able to tap sources of wealth that others may have missed. These discoveries will allow them to lock into opportunities to accumulate wealth.
An auspicious star that the Goat has in their charts this year is the "Canopy Top Star." The energy this star brings is that of creativity and inventiveness. This also could be termed as an “Artist Star” as being an artist is the best outlet for ingenuity and creativity. The presence of this will be very advantageous to those who are already in the creative industry such as entertainment, music, performing and visual arts, film, TV, video, radio, photography, writing, advertising and marketing, arts and crafts, and architecture and design. This star gives those in these fields a renewed view of their craft as it enhances their thinking and creativity. It gives them additional energy and inspiration for new projects.
For those who are not in these industries, they can still take advantage of this star by looking into how they can upgrade themselves. They could use this year to pursue further education or take a class that can contribute to their resume or their personal growth. Since this star gives them enhanced learning abilities, it will be a good time to acquire a new skill or learn something new, this could even be learning to play a musical instrument. This will be quite useful to them, increase their general knowledge and life skills and even open opportunities for career advancement in the future.
If they don’t do any of the above-mentioned activities, then this star could bring out the other side of the “artist” energy, which is that of being a loner, and detached from the world. Most artists are a bit eccentric, like to be alone and have difficulty connecting with people. If they are unable to find an outlet for creativity or unable to find a way to improve themselves then this may affect their emotional stability.
They could probably allocate some alone “me time” for themselves where they can do something that really recharges them. Each person has a different way of recharging on their own. For some, it could be a visit to the spa. For others, it could be a nice quiet run around the park, meditation, or yoga class. Aside from their me-time though, they should make an effort to hang out with their friends and spend time with their loved ones or even volunteer for a charitable cause. This would also be a good time for them to work on their spiritual life and consider being active in a religious organization or even going on a spiritual retreat or recollection.
Those under the sign of the Goat are blessed with the presence of the “Heavenly Salvation Star” and the “Lucky Reprieve Star.” As the names connote, having the presence of these stars helps ease the negative effects of other stars. Some form of divine intervention from the heavens will come forth to bring assistance when most needed to help dissolve misfortunes and thwart obstacles so that the setbacks that they encounter this year will be temporary and resolved quicker than expected.
These auspicious stars have a way of neutralizing and alleviating the effects of negative stars present and form a shield to offset part of the negative impact. These stars could also come in the form of helpful people who will appear to lend assistance or guidance when needed the most. When faced with difficulties this year, they should be patient and tackle things slowly as everything will eventually be resolved.
The Goat has an Authority & Fame Star on their charts this year. Though not a very strong star, it is beneficial for career and business. This will give them a chance to show their leadership capabilities.
This also means that they will be able to properly implement strategies and plans that have been in the works but not yet implemented. This could prove to be a good start or foundation in their career or industry.
The presence of the “Blade Star” indicates that the Goat may be highly prone to injury metal cuts and bloodshed. They should be extra careful during outdoor activities. Any chronic health issue should be properly monitored to minimize the risk. Now is as good a time as any to put into effect a lifestyle change that they may have been putting off.
Taking precaution and prioritizing their wellbeing is highly advisable. It will be best to get a general blood test after the New Year for them to evaluate their health level. Some of the health issues they may encounter this year though is tied up to stress. Therefore, they should keep a positive attitude and take some time to unwind and spend time with loved ones.
Overall, it will be good for them to carry a Safety Medallion this year to help subdue some of this undesirable energy.
There will be a high tendency for them to get into clashes with some family members. Things may not be so rosy in the home front. They may butt heads on issues that range from the minute to the serious. They should remember that their family and the bonds they share is precious and that their family will be the ones they can turn to during these tumultuous times. They should always aim for a calm, peaceful, and reasonable resolution to whatever issue the fam- ily is tackling. In line with this, they should not feel entitled and self-indulgent, rather they should be mindful of the consequences of their actions and words.
The presence of the “Float Sink Star” on the charts of the Goat will make rumors seem more demoralizing than they really are and will bother them more than it should. This star will magnify the emotions they will be going through this year and thus they may tend to overreact. They should remind themselves of this and not allow their emotions to get the better of them.
Having this star means that they may have moments of being unreasonable and frustrated. The feeling of having expended so much energy and effort into a task, only to realize that they haven’t really progressed much, can be quite frustrating. It’s like the buoy in the sea bobbing up and down in the water, expending energy yet still being where they started. They should keep this in mind so that they won’t be so hard on themselves. They should try to view it positively instead and say that the slow progress allowed them time to rest and take things slow.
It will be best for them to carry or have a Magical Amber with them to help them balance out their emotions.
Amid all the good things that the Goat have going for them this year, they have three troublesome charm stars whose energy is all linked to legal, litigation, libel, and lawsuits. These are the “Officer Charm Grievance Star,” the “Year Charm Libel Star,” and the “Flying Unlucky Charm Star.”
Knowing this, they should be very mindful of the law. Rules and regulations should be strictly adhered to. It will do them well to have the concerned departments or people updated on the current law and recent amendments. Ignorance of the law is not an excuse, and they should make sure that everything they do this year is well within the allowed boundaries.
This could manifest as something as minor as going down a one-way street, if they have not bothered to familiarize themselves with the new traffic flow of the area, to something trivial like jay walking or illegal parking. If not careful, it could be something more serious like a court case. They should always be mindful of their words and actions. For those in position, they should avoid conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman.
They should have a Wise Men Walnut to help them be on their toes and be able to analyze things from other perspectives.
They should be very meticulous when it comes to documents, contracts, and other paperwork. They should not be complacent even when it comes to things that they have been doing already for a while. For example, if they have a long- standing recurring order of a certain product, they should not be compla- cent and just continue to copy/paste. They should update themselves to see if the rules still apply now, if the required paperwork is still the same or if the costs are still the same. That way, they will avoid losing money because of unnecessary legal complications.
These troublesome charm stars may also come as gossip, arguments, or misunderstandings that if gone unresolved may end up as a wearisome lawsuit and unwanted turmoil. In this aspect, they should keep their guard up so as to avoid money loss and damages. Caution, skill, and discretion should help keep legal issues at bay. Keeping their eye open also for potential pitfalls and being aware of conniving characters around them will help them avoid making bad decisions.
The “Five Ghost Star” is another inauspicious star on the charts of the Goat that bring them annoying disturbances. This is coming from the mental and emotional point of view.
Sudden feelings of unrest and confusion may pop up sporadically. These feelings of uncertainty and anxiety could put a strain on an otherwise flourishing year.
They should not allow this emotional volatility to consume them. Rather, they should be aware enough to control themselves and not give in. If they act impulsively when they are in this state, it could be severely harmful to them and ruin an otherwise rosy year. They should not listen to rumors as knowing these little tidbits will do them no good whatsoever. They should also remember to trust themselves and turn to their bene- factors who they know have their best interests at heart. Trust their instinct, and don’t give in to peer pressure or for the sake of saving face.
Having on hand a Magical Amber should greatly help them in balancing out their emotions and help them decipher between what is real and what is merely perceived.
