Rat
While you are busy reaping the best out of this year, remember to have adequate rest. There is a high tendency of having illnesses such as the flu and other illnesses that are related to anxiety such as headaches and gastric problems. There are also signs of being hospitalised and involved in accidents.

Ox
Your health is average in general. Do not indulge in activities that might harm your health such as drinking and eating excessively.

Tiger
There is a higher tendency of falling ill this year. Be careful of safety too. For those who have elderly people at home, be cautious of their health and safety too.

Rabbit
There is a high chance of falling ill and being accident-prone. Have adequate rest to ensure that you are always alert. This is especially so for those who drive.

Dragon
You may suffer from lethargy, gastric and stomach problems, weak concentration and a short attention span. You may be more forgetful. Try to have adequate rest and be positive. Most of the health issues that will arise this year are due to people issues and being too stressed out. It may make you feel demoralised and even cause you to doubt yourself. Ensure that you surround yourself with a positive environment and positive people.

Snake
Not good. You tend to have injuries such as sprains or fractures this year. You are also more accident-prone than usual. If you need to drive, please ensure that you have adequate rest.

Horse
You tend to fall sick easily this year, especially with digestive problems, flu and colds. You are also more accident prone than usual. If you have elders at home, be wary of their health and safety too. For those who are elderly and born in the year of the horse, be careful of your spouse's health and safety as well.

Goat
Be careful of illnesses that strike suddenly, for example, heart attacks and strokes. You are more accident prone than usual. Do not engage in any high-risk activities. This year, it is important to follow traffic rules carefully and not to exchange conveniences with regrets. If you are driving, ensure that you have adequate rest.

Monkey
There is instability in the area of health. You might have insomnia, headaches and colds. You are also more accident-prone than usual. Please take good care of your health and safety. Do have adequate rest and do not let people's opinion affect your emotions.

Rooster
Do not overindulge in drinking, overeating and staying up late. Do not drink and drive. Remember that maintaining a healthy lifestyle will prolong your popularity and good luck. If you have elders at home, take care of their health and safety.

Dog
You are accident-prone this year. You tend to have cuts and there are signs of bleeding. There are also signs that you might go through surgery. Please be extra careful in terms of your safety, especially if you are handling sharp objects or operating heavy machinery. If you have elders at home, please take extra care of their health and safety.

Pig
Not good. You will be more prone to fall ill because your immune system is especially low this year. Due to a lack of rest and spreading yourself too thin, you will increase your risk of being accident-prone. Please pay extra attention to your health in terms of having a healthy diet, keep your stress levels in check and do exercises regularly.
