Year of the Rabbit

Those born in the Year of the Rabbit can expect things to get better in 2023, following two years of hardships.

Spousal love will bloom and the future will appear clearer.

But with things looking up, there is still a need to be careful, especially with financial matters where prudence is called for.

What should Rabbits get: Gin Thye Pineapple Tart (S$15)

Why: Pineapples have been a symbol of good fortune in Chinese culture for a long time.

Besides believing that it will bring in good fortune if you eat it, it's simply hard to say “no” to savoring this yummy pastry.

Exposed pineapple tarts, enclosed, round or elongated ones – there are different ways to savour the "same thing".

And eating pineapple tarts is an art.

Having too much of one thing will leave you satiated and done.

The trick is to have it, but never enough, so you can come back for more.

There are many ways to enjoy the present, but eating offers the most immediate payoff and it is no longer about meeting the daily calorie intake.

Give yourselves a treat and pamper your family in this new year.


Year of the Horse

Those born in the Year of the Horse should face 2023 with a positive attitude.

Horses are to surround themselves with friends who are good for them.

Fortunes will turn for the better, though.

Some career difficulties could present themselves initially in the year.

Good communication will be key to doing well.

What should Horses get: Cornell 3.5L Air Fryer with Detachable Basket (S$56.90)

Why: Save time cooking and spend time hanging out with your guests instead.

Being able to communicate well does not mean you need to do it 24/7, but when you invite your friends and family over this festive season, why not simplify the cooking and spend quality time with them instead?

Family support will also be useful in helping to navigate yourway towards the future.

You should also be creative and innovative this new year to seize chances that come your way.

Year of the Rooster

Those born in the Year of the Rooster are advised to be ready for whatever life throws at you.

You might have to do certain things like spread your time between being at work or with a loved one, and teach others while learning from them.

What should Roosters get: JIJI Mahjong Tiles Set (Jade White Edition) (S$49.90)

Why: There is no better way to learn about yourself than from playing games.

How you react in the face of winning and losing is as important as learning when to take your winnings and running, and when to give in now to make the most of life later on.


Year of the Dog

Those born in the Year of the Dog will have to show others what they mean to you.

Make the most out of your relationships by showering them with love and devotion.

Why: A necessity living in this modern age? Laundry capsules.

And nothing will help you more than having a detergent, softener, sanitiser and colour-protectant all wrapped up in one to keep the laundry soft, clean and fresh smelling.

Money well-spent is the equivalent of money saved.


Year of the Rat

Those born in the Year of the Rat can expect luck and happiness in 2023.

Love, career, finances, and health will all be in bloom.

Even though you can expect to be physically healthy, Rats are to pay more attention to your mental health as well.

What should Rats get: Sony PlayStation 5 PS5 Console (S$888)
