Want a peek at your financial future this year? Check out feng shui and astrology expert Doris Ingber’s wealth forcecast for the 12 animal signs of the Chinese zodiac. To find your animal sign, correlate your birth date with the list in this link.

Rat

Last year was challenging. Although this year is an improvement, be conservative. This is a difficult year for speculation and change. You are better positioned in 2016.

Ox

Monitor expenditures closely. Resist impulsive buying. Stay focused on the long term. Strengthen your position. Not a year to take risks.

Tiger

The Tiger has a stable forecast, but curb the urge to be spontaneous. Planning is not the Tiger’s forte, but this is a year when it’s important to plan ahead.

Rabbit

A very auspicious year. Investment opportunities are many, both in stocks and property. Be discriminating. It’s a lucky year for you.

Dragon

Career and wealth are very strong this year. Don’t neglect family and the other aspects of life. Consult with advisors prior to making big decisions.

Snake

The eggs of the snakes were laid on July 12, 2009 and hatched between September 5 and 10. AFP PHOTO DDP / JOERG KOCH GERMANY OUT (Photo credit should read JOERG KOCH/AFP/Getty Images)

Focus on what you know, stick to the familiar path, avoid risky ventures, and stay on plan. Look to associates and mentors to further your career.

 

Horse

SABUCEDO, SPAIN - JULY 02: Wild horses are herded down from the mountains for the annual Rapa das Bestas (shearing of the beasts) festival on July 2, 2011 in Sabucedo, Spain. Hundreds of wild horses are rounded up from the mountains and directed into the outdoor pen to be trimmed and marked. (Photo by Denis Doyle/Getty Images)

This is a year to slow down after a fast-paced 2014. The Horse acts before thinking and burns through money. Flamboyant Horses need a partner in finance.

Sheep

WESTBURY, UNITED KINGDOM - MARCH 21: A pregnant ewe waits to give birth on a farm in the Wiltshire village of Edington, on March 21, 2013 near Westbury, England. Despite the poor weather the lambing season, which normally runs from February to May, is well under way and many farmers across the UK are on the lookout for signs in their flocks of Schmallenberg disease, a virus which can result in congenital disorders and stillbirths when infection takes place during the early stage of pregnancy.

A year to pursue the arts and creative endeavors. More wealth will come from career than investment. The Sheep is an excellent entrepreneur and manager, able to navigate rocky terrain.

Monkey

Keep a level head. People love you, and you are easily influenced. Use caution, keep your ego in check, and there will be potential for expansion.

Rooster

AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND - JULY 23: A rooster is one of a number of chickens roaming free in west Auckland's Titirangi Village on July 23, 2014 in Auckland, New Zealand. Keeping more than six chickens on urban properties will require a licence from Auckland Council under a new proposal for a bylaw to prevent stock from becoming a nuisance to neighbours. (Photo by Fiona Goodall/Getty Images)

An abundant year, with steady growth and venture opportunities. Don’t strut your stuff, though. Be discerning, strategic, and wise. The Rooster is a mastermind in business.

Dog

For three days the annual event sees around hundred dogs competing in three categories named: best of breed, best in group and best in show.

An excellent year for financial growth. This year’s chart favors you. Always proceed with caution and seek council, but there are opportunities for gain from career and investment.

Pig

It's a great year for the pig, who is a great friend of the sheep. Investments, business and career all have the potential to show a profit.
