RAT (2020, 2008, 1996, 1984, 1972, 1960, 1948, 1936, 1924)

OX (2009, 1997, 1985, 1973, 1961, 1949, 1937, 1926)

TIGER (2010, 1998, 1986, 1974, 1962, 1950, 1938, 1927)
Although relationship luck isn’t on your side, don’t let that stop you from living your life to the fullest. Instead of moping around, take this opportunity to be the best version of yourself and stay positive in any circumstances.

RABBIT (2011, 1999, 1987, 1975, 1963, 1951, 1939, 1927)
This month, it’s easier for Rabbits to mingle with others. Women, in particular, will find it easier to hit it off with men. If you’re romantically interested in someone, this is the perfect time to confess your feelings to him or her.

DRAGON (2012, 2000, 1988, 1976, 1964, 1952, 1940, 1928)
It is best for Dragons to readjust their romantic expectations as it could bring about heartache and disappointment. If people around you are not responding favourably, keep in mind to remain calm and collected to ensure you don’t step on anyone’s toes.

SNAKE (2013, 2001, 1989, 1977, 1965, 1953, 1941, 1929)
People are drawn to you as a result of your strong relationship luck. Aside from romances, make the most of these positive energies by forging and strengthening the relationships you have with people around you for a harmonious environment.

HORSE (2014, 2002, 1990, 1978, 1966, 1954, 1942, 1930)
If communicating with others has been a challenge for you, any hurdles or issues you have faced will be quickly resolved in April. Bear in mind you will have to overcome the setbacks first before you can experience good relationships.

GOAT (2015, 2003, 1991, 1979, 1967, 1955, 1943, 1931)
Time to bring out the courage to ask someone out. Any profession of love will have more impact in April. So stay confident, and focus on planning the date, vacation or any other romantic gesture for your romantic interest or your other half.

MONKEY (2016, 2004, 1992, 1980, 1968, 1956, 1944, 1932)
This is a great month to ask your crush out on a date. Stay positive and have the courage to make the first move. If you’re already in a committed relationship, make an effort to deepen the bond with your partner for a smooth love life in April.

ROOSTER (2017, 2005, 1993, 1981, 1969, 1957, 1945, 1933)
Although single Roosters have favourable love luck this year, you still have to make an effort to put yourself out there if you’re looking for a romantic partner. If you’re single and looking, don’t hide your relationship status to increase your chances of reciprocation from potential partners.

DOG (2018, 2006, 1994, 1982, 1970, 1958, 1946, 1934)
This is an excellent time to show more affection, care and consideration towards your other half. There’s also a chance you may misunderstand your partner’s words and intentions, so the best thing to do is to talk things out, and take note of their body language.

PIG (2019, 2007, 1995, 1983, 1971, 1959, 1947, 1935)
If you’ve been searching for your soulmate, this is the time to make a move. If there’s someone you like, take your time to get to know him or her to avoid acting on impulse and making a commitment before you’re ready.
