Chinese Astrology Predictions 2008: The Rooster
Chinese astrology is an ancient art which guides people all over the world through fulfillment and enlightenment. Let's see the yearly (2008) prediction for the Chinese sign of the Rooster.
A new 12-year cycle started at Feb 7,
2008 with the Year of the Rat according to the Chinese calendar. This important cycle (or era) ends at Feb 5, 2019. It is a 12-year period generally ruled by the universal element of Earth. There are also other elements which rule over each of the 12 years. For example Earth rules over the first and the second year of the cycle (2008, 2009) while Metal rules over the third and the fourth year of the cycle (2010, 2011). The year 2008 is also ruled by the sign of the Rat and has a Yang (male) nature. So 2008 is the Yang year of the Earth Rat. What are the predictions for the sign of the Rooster for 2008? This is what this article is all about.
Rooster rules over 2017 in this 12-year cycle. During 2008 Rooster people will be very successful and independent. They will have an increased ability to observe anything in detail and provide solutions for others to work on.
2008 is a great year for Rooster people to engage in social activities, meat new people, new places, establish relationships, sign important contracts. It is a good year for new beginnings. These people will be in the center of attention this year and they should take advantage of it.
The energy of the Rat, which rules over 2008 will make Rooster people very attractive and beautiful. On the other hand it will make them feel a bit lonely. They should avoid becoming loners. These people need others in order to survive and feel happy.
Rooster people are deeply affected by the element of Earth which rules over 2008. This element will make these people feel very brave and courageous. It will also make them feel they are always right.
The Yang (male) nature of 2008 can make Rooster people obsessed, pretentious and sometimes self-absorbed. They should try to work on these issues and minimize the negative effects of the Yang nature.
Here are my predictions using the five star system. This has to do with the overall positive energy that the Rooster will receive during 2008. One star (*) means less energy than expected, while five stars (*****) mean more energy than expected. Three stars (***) mean equal amount of positive and negative energy which is a balanced situation:
