Overview
This can be a challenging year for the Snake.  There is a clash between Snake and the Pig year (Tai-Tsui) and you have to be more alert than usual.  And due to the fact that there are several unlucky stars brought to your zodiac, you might find yourself losing concentration and your temper, or even losing some small amount of money in the investment. 

So your best strategy in the year of Pig is probably to keep a low profile and don’t make any major changes and decision.  Beware of traitors plotting against you.  Your stubbornness seems to get the better of you this year.  You should try to be more flexible and practice and learn to listen and communicate with others.  And although you will face all types of challenges this year, this will be a good opportunity for you to learn and grow, and prepare yourself for a better year next year.

Try to do volunteer or charity work to balance off the bad energy or make arrangements to go to the temples and pray for safety blessings from the negative effects of the said star.  Avoid overly Yin places such as funerals and graveyards, and do spend a lot of your time in hot, sunny climates or go to weddings to reduce this problem.  In general, just do your best to stay out of conflict, dispute and troubles and eventually, you will have better luck in the second half of the year.  Your best months are March, September and November, be alert during the months of April, July and October.

Finance
Since this is year for you to stay low profile, you must plan ahead and be prepared for a year with ups and downs.   In general, avoid big investment, and never act on impulsive decision.  In fact, there might be a possibility for at least one financial loss in your finance; therefore, you need to be very cautious and conservative this year.

Slowly, your finance will get better, although it takes time and patience, but what you need to concern is your expense.  You must learn to save up more instead of spending what you earn right away.  Trust me, you will be happy that you did.

To enhance your luck in finance, place a crystal or a white object on the northwest side of your office/room.

Romance
Sorry to disappoint you, but the year of Pig stirs up everything sensual about you, therefore, you won’t see a repeat of your Peach Blossom luck like last year.  In fact, this is not a good year for marriage, for finding the love of your life, or even for taking an existing relationship to the next level. So be patient, enjoy yourself in the year of Pig and prepare yourself for a better year in 2008. 

To enhance your luck in romance, female Snake can wear black, wavy accessories, and male Snake can wear white, oval accessories.

Career
There will be conflicts and obstacles in your career path.  There will be ups and downs and challenges.  However, if you are looking for fame, you might have a shot on that.  For those who work part-time, you might actually see some opportunities heading your ways, so make sure to seize one when you see one.  In general, although you might get notice by your boss, you probably won’t see the promotion or raise you’ve hoped for.  Be patient.

Health
Your health will be ok this year, no major concern, but you do need to pay attention to minor illness.  Don’t ignore them; go see a doctor when you are not feeling well.  However, frustration over a series of setbacks in your career or finance could increase your stress level, so you must learn to relax to release your stress.  Meditation and Yoga are good approaches to ease your stress.  And if you can, go to your doctor and have a checkup sometimes this year.
