Snake in 2008 - You escape the trap of last year. Outside help arrives. You were cornered, but now you’re free. Your luck will change for the better. A close colleague or employee might give you a lot of trouble and prevent your success. Still, there will be a lot of helpers. When you face bad fortune, it’ll turn into good. Discuss your situation more with others. Ask for help. Your health outlook is poor. Don’t blindly depend on drugs to help. Exercise more.


2/4-3/5: Control your temper.  Use a peaceful and fearless approach to avoid many relationship traps. 

3/5-4/5: Your forecast indicates afflictions of your teeth.  Don’t eat too many sweets.  Avoid hard food.  Eat soft food.  Oral hygiene is of the utmost importance during this period. 

4/5-5/6: Following your heart and not your brain might result in a mistake.  Heed the advice of others. 

5/6-6/5: Beware of relationship traps.  They are bad for health.  Stay out of other people’s business.  Say little.  Cooking or singing is good to dissolve problems.

6/5-7/7: Beware of falling in love trap.  An affair may cause disastrous mistakes and financial loss.  Use your brain.  Don’t be irrational. 

7/7-8/7: Don’t do things emotionally.  Listen to others advice.  Don’t just do things your own way or you’ll have endless trouble.  Maintain a peaceful and pleasant mind.

8/7-9/7: This period is full of fantasy.  Guard against impulsiveness.  Think carefully and behave well.  Get together with an old friend for a joyful discussion. 

9/7-10/8: Complicated opportunities lie ahead.  It’s crucial to select the right one at work.  Be practical.  Small greed loses in the end.  Solving your own tasks is your top priority.
