2003: Goat

Romance is strong this year, but it’s not without complications. You’re likely to attract someone charming and emotionally intuitive—possibly through work, classes or mutual friends—but the intensity may build faster than you expect. Emotional closeness comes easily, which is beautiful, but it also raises the stakes quickly. If you’re not careful, you could slide into “are we basically married?” territory before fully asking whether that’s what you want. This year rewards vulnerability, but only if you don’t lose yourself in comfort of being chosen. 

2004: Monkey

Monkey energy is magnetic this year, and people notice. Dating feels fun, lively and full of banter—but there’s temptation to keep things light even when someone wants more. Singles may attract partners looking for stability while still craving freedom themselves, which can create mixed signals. For couples, harmony is possible, but only if you resist stirring drama out of boredom. You thrive on excitement; just don’t mistake chaos for chemistry.   

2005: Rooster

This is a high attraction year for Roosters, but it comes with tension between ambition and intimacy. You’re desirable, driven and visibly going places, which draws people in, but work and personal goals may leave partners feeling sidelined. Singles may juggle multiple romantic options or feel torn between love and independence. In relationships, neglect can quietly turn into resentment if emotional needs go unspoken. Passion is there, but it needs time and attention to survive.  

2006: Dog

Love runs deep this year, sometimes uncomfortably so. Emotional bonds form quickly, and relationships may feel serious before you’re ready to label them. Commitment energy is strong, but so is the fear of being hurt. You may test partners, consciously or not, to see who stays. The challenge is learning to trust without controlling the outcome. Romance flourishes when you allow closeness without demanding guarantees. 

2007: Pig

Pig romance is tender but emotionally charged. Singles are likely to meet someone through friends, especially during the spring or summer, but insecurity can complicate things early on. You may overanalyze texts, tone or timing, turning potential sparks into unnecessary stress. In relationships, loyalty matters deeply—but jealousy or fear of abandonment can create friction. The lesson this year is that intimacy grows through honest communication not emotional guesswork. 

2008: Rat

The first half of the year favors flirtation over follow-through. Early romances may feel exciting but inconsistent—chemistry without clarity and sparks without structure. You might find yourself caught in an almost-relationship that never quite lands. From late summer into fall, the energy shirts toward depth and intention. If you’ve learned from earlier misfires, a meaningful connection can be energy, but only if you stop chasing validation and start choosing reciprocity.  

2009: Ox

Confidence makes you attractive this year, but it can also make you emotionally guarded. Career success and self-assurance draw potential partners in, yet you may struggle to open up to someone who gets close. There’s fertile ground for love, but only if you allow softness alongside strength. This isn’t a year for surface-level romance, it demands shared values and emotional honesty. Refuse to settle, but don’t wall yourself off either.
