Chinese Zodiac: Goat

2012 Fortune by Chinese Zodiac Sign

By , About.com Guide

Several factors are used in Chinese fortune telling to determine a person’s fortune. Knowing your zodiac sign, element and predisposition (hot, cold, or neutral) are all used to determine your fortune. Consulting a Chinese almanac like 2012 Chinese Almanac by Peter So (ISBN 978-988-1905-6-9) or a fortune teller will help you find a detailed, more personal fortune.

The 12-year Chinese zodiac cycle also includes a corresponding element; therefore, it takes 60 years to complete an entire zodiac cycle. Each Chinese zodiac sign has a general 2012 fortune plus an additional 2012 fortune based on the person’s birth year. All months referenced refer to the lunar month.

Goats are likely to:

  • Enjoy higher social status.
  • Have a chance for promotion.
  • Get useful help from powerful female figures.
  • Involved in disputes and arguments.
  • Unexpected disputes or arguments.
  • Listen to gossip and act upon it, so try not to listen to rumors.
  • Likely to be injured but it won’t be serious. Donate blood or get your teeth cleaned in August and February to prevent injury.
  • Likely to feel lonely. Go out with friends and colleagues to ease your loneliness.

Your additional fortune by birth year is:

1931: You will have good luck with wealth.
1943: You will have chances to learn or invest.
1955: You will work hard for money.
1967: You will slack off and make easy money.
1979: You will enjoy better social status.
1991: It's a year of wealth for you.
2003: You have good luck with studies and exams.
