The overall luck in wealth will be neither good nor bad. Despite the fact of destructing Tai Sui, you will be blessed by three auspicious stars and you can make both ends meet, thus will not suffer serious financial loss. However, you rats need to make reasonable financial investments in 2017 and avoid the investments with obvious risk since it is impractical for you to enrich your wallet with windfalls.

Moreover, you will not have good luck in terms of windfall in 2017. Also, you should reduce expenditure, avoid borrowing to others and keep a certain amount of money for emergency. Fortunately, you rats are good at accumulating wealth and like studying, so you have your own skills in accumulating wealth and you can get through the year successfully as long as you are careful enough.

You female rats will have good luck in career because the female benefactor represented by the Taiyin Star will help your career development a lot; you will get help from others even if you are in troubles. If you have good career development foresight and executive capability, your career will certainly develop quickly. You male rats, however, will not have good fortune in career in 2017 and you will be easily disturbed from further development by the external factors, either the villains around, or a series of problems in your life. But if your leader is a female rat, you will be more likely to get recognition and promotion. To prevent your career from decline, you male rats should make great efforts to build good relationship with the working partners around, so that you can rely on them at the critical moments.

In 2017, the most suitable industry for you rats will be the service industry, especially those related to women, such as women's dress, shoes, perfume or cosmetic, from which you will get better development.

Your luck in love relationship in the year of Rooster will be good and not affected by the fact of destructing Tai Sui due to the blessing of the auspicious star Taiyin in your Natal Horoscope. Under the blessing of this star, you will have good luck with the benefactor; you male rats even may change the luck with the benefactor into the luck with the opposite sex. In this year, you male rats will meet women older or mightier than you, such as an able woman. It will be ok if you have an open marriage concept. You female rats will have neither obvious development nor setback in the love relationship. You can make acquaintance with many working partners, even fall in love with someone. However, you are not recommended to focus on love because you will encounter the career development peak in 2017.

If you are married, you should not get too close to the opposite sex; otherwise, you will have improper love and bring yourself and your family unnecessary troubles, even suffer from the divorce because of this. So you should be careful.
