If your Chinese zodiac sign is the monkey, this is your year to take charge.

TIPS FOR A GREAT YEAR
This is the year of the Fire Monkey. so it's all about action and adventure. Taking risks is OK but try not to be reckless about it. With the Monkey, though, it tends to be all or nothing, so big wins and big losses are equally likely.

Monkey
1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016
It can't just be monkey-see, monkey-do this year - you can and must lead the way. All that pent-up passion needs a creative outlet and in both your private life and your career you will be the proverbial unstoppable force. Greatness beckons. All hail the Monkey King!

Rooster
1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981. 1993, 2005
The cocky Rooster won't be quite so loud and proud this year - you want to keep as low a profile as possible. Why? Becasue your brain is bubbling with big ideas, some of which could make lots of money. But you need peace and quiet to plot your route to fame and fortune.

Dog
1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006
You have so many schemes and so many dreams - in fact you have too many. If you want to make the most of your potential you must focus exclusively on your No. 1 aim. The Dog can make a big noise this year, but it must be more than just howling at the moon.

Pig
1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007
Home is where the heart is and, if you stick close to your family over the coming 12 months, this could be one of the best years ever. Switch off from outside distractions and cosy up with loved ones in domestic bliss. The big, bad world can take care of itself.

Rat
1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008
Travelling for fun, romance and profit will light up the coming year. Keep an overnight bag by your bed at all times - you never know when you might have to make a quick getaway!

Ox
No one works harder than the Ox, but don't overdo it. Pay more attention to health and fitness issues and make sure you are working and making money for yourself, not other people. Your task for the year? Learn to say, "No!"

Tiger
1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010
Partnership issues are highlighted this year and if you are in the market for romance you won't lack for opportunities. Play the field a bit before you settle down. A Dog person or Horse lover could turn out to be the soul mate you have been looking for.

Rabbit
1939, 1951, 1963 , 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011
Take good care of your assets this year because with the mischievous Monkey in the ascendant, you could be tempted to gamble with what you own and earn. If your attitude is "easy come, easy go" it could all go a lot quicker than you expected! Don't leave anything to chance.

Dragon
1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012
This is an auspicious year for Dragons, a year in which your creative talents will flourish and you find favour with people in positions of power. You may not be sitting on a hoard of gold yet - but you soon will be!

Snake
1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013
You seem to have more rivals of late, but you are far too smart to let them outwit you. No one surpasses the Snake for cunning and each new challenge you face this year will be an opportunity to show how s-s-skillful and s-s-serious you can be.

Horse
1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014
You will have plenty to say for yourself this year - as always - but don't give away for free information you could have charged for. Knowledge is a commodity like everything else and because you are the bearer of so many secrets, others will pay top dollar for what you know.

Sheep
1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015
You are more likely to get what you want this year by disguising your intentions. In short, the less others know about your ambitions, the better. You have got your eye on the top job and are determined to make it your own. Yes, you're a wolf in Sheep's clothing!
