The first week of 2020 started off terrible with World War III warnings. But hey, that’s just the world, maybe it’d be different for you!
I ain’t qualified to give you anything, but this forecast doesn’t come from me.
8days consulted Way Fengshui Group’s Master Goh Guan Leong, and here’s what he has to say for the Year of the Metal Rat (2020).
The Gist
Goat, Rooster, Ox and Snake:
This is the year of changes and opportunities. You have Lady Luck on your side and you can afford to take a few chances. “Be daring and step out of your comfort zone to explore new possibilities. It will be a waste of your good luck if you aren’t going all out.”
Tiger, Pig, Horse and Monkey
You’ll find yourselves lagging in the rat race, but don’t be discouraged. With a strong physical and emotional outlook, you can overcome the hardships. “Do more exercise and persevere in whatever you are doing.”
