Each Chinese zodiac sign is given a horoscope for the year, and the Rabbit is said to be lucky for many. However, some signs can expect a more turbulent year.
Celebrity astrology expert Marites Allen spoke to the Express about what each sign can expect for 2023. You could be in for a bumpy ride if you were born in the following years:
1928, 1934, 1937,1940, 1941, 1946, 1949, 1952, 1953, 1958, 1961, 1964, 1965, 1970, 1973, 1977, 1982, 1985, 1988, 1989, 1994, 1997, 2000, 2001, 2006, 2009, 2012, 2013, 2018 or 2021.
Here is what people born in these years can expect, as well as how to bring about some better luck over the next 12 months:
Ox
Born in: 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021
“Your luck in money and career continues this year. Professionally, you are always trustworthy and can be relied on. However, this year, threats of robbery, losses or possible injuries will be bothering the Ox-born people. Nonetheless, with your innate confidence, strength, and stability, you will always prosper even during difficult times.
“Just avoid being stubborn, resentful and temperamental, all of which will result in your downfall and destruction.”
Dragon
Born in: 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012
“Brace yourself for possible negativities brought by hostile energies that indicate heartaches and misunderstandings. It needs a lot of your patience, tolerance, and restraint to avoid being carried away by the usual heartaches that will present themselves to you.
"Be strong and take the high road. Avoid at all costs any disagreements and opt for peace and harmonious environment.”
Snake
Born in: 1928, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013
"The presence of the hostility star in 2023 will rock the peaceful life of Snake-born people. Usually, the Snakes just glide through life and somehow manage to get through the challenges that come their way.
“This time, there are indications of heartaches, misunderstandings, lawsuits, and plenty of quarrelling. Wear some fire element energies, such as red, pink, or purple or other peaceful charms may include the friendship medallion or peace and harmony symbols.”
Dog
Born in: 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018
“Although your animal sign is the secret friend of the Rabbit, it is a must for Dog-born people to provide extra attention on caring for themselves in 2023. This is due to the threat of the misfortune star present in your chart at this time. This can seriously bring havoc to your life.
“There is also the risk of illness, which may affect your income opportunities and working schedules. Always bring your five element pagoda charm or ultimate mantra amulets.
“For extra protection, carry some amulets for health longevity. The Anti-illness Charms will also help neutralise these afflictions.”
