Annual Indications for ‘Growth’ Animals
As we enter 2017 the Year of the Yin Fire Rooster what is in store for the Growth Animals of the Chinese Zodiac?
Of the 12 Chinese Astrological Animals (also known as the Earthly Branches in BaZi or Four Pillars of Destiny) four are known as ‘Growth’ animals.
These are the Monkey, Snake, Tiger and Pig (Boar). The Monkey and Snake have an harmonious relationship and combine to create Water. The Tiger and Pig combine to create Wood.
As Growth Animals they are associated with travel, movement and change. Exciting, active and loving to travel they are the go-getters of the Earthly Branches.
Monkey
In 2017 Monkey SW3 (232.5-247.5) sees Grand Duke Jupiter (Tai Sui) moving on. This 
unfortunately does not mean that all will be plain sailing for Monkeys. The 7 Red Star moves into the Southwest this year making it a challenging one. Health and personal relationships will be the main focus, both of which will have their share of difficulties. There is also the chance of legal issues that could prove difficult to overcome. It is going to be vital to take care of your personal wellbeing in 2017, eating healthily and sleeping well. This will not be the best year to take a giant step in your working life.

up to you to take extra care. This will minimise the negative effects and allow you to maintain balance in your life. Preparation is the key to success this year.
