和你预期的相反，中国星象学认为，本命年的运气一般不会太好。

"This isn't a year for Pigs to take risks or initiate² any major changes." consultant³ astrologer Carmen told INSIDER.

星相学顾问卡门告诉Insider网站说：“属猪的人在本命年不要冒风险或作出任何重大改变。”

Romantic success isn't really in the cards for Pigs in 2019 either.

属猪的人在2019年也没什么桃花运。

"Don't expect this year to bring excitement in the relationship department. For singles, this year is likely to bring relationship lessons but not growth," she said.

卡门说：“不要指望本命年感情上能有什么突破。对于属猪的单身人士而言，这一年在爱情上是教训多、甜蜜少。”

In 2019, Rat signs will have the opportunity to experience some serious career advancement⁴ and make new beneficial work connections.

2019年，属鼠的人将有机会获得晋升并拓展职场人脉。

"Career will be the biggest win for Rats during the Year of the Pig. Success will come from the Rats' talents, skills, and ability to network as well as from their connections." Carmen said.

卡门说：“属鼠的人在猪年的事业运最旺。属鼠的人的才华、技能、社交和人脉都能对事业有所助益。”

However, Rats should focus on building momentum⁵ where there are rather than looking for a new job.

不过属鼠的人在猪年应该蓄势待发而不是寻找新工作。

Romance may also crop up for Rats in 2019, but it likely won't be anything too dramatic.

属鼠的人在2019年的爱情运也不错，不过不会有重大变化。

The only caveat⁷ here is that there is such thing as too much of a good thing. Ox signs should be prepared to deal with success when it comes and they should have a plan for turning a sudden windfall into a long-lasting⁸ fortune.

但是属牛的人要当心好事过头反成坏事。在财富从天而降时，做好规划，才能细水长流。

Tigers probably shouldn't expect any dramatic positive changes in 2019. Tigers should focus on maintaining their success rather than look for huge new successes.

However, this year is actually a good time for Tigers to expand their social circles. Carmen advised that meeting new people and sharing ideas will lead to wins in career and friendship, though love connections won't necessarily lead to lasting love.

不过，今年是属虎的人扩大社交圈的良好时机。卡门建议属虎的人结识新朋友，多交流意见，这将让他们赢得事业和友情，不过在这一年开始的新恋情不一定会长久。

In Chinese astrology, the Pig is very supportive of the Rabbit. This means that Rabbits can expect pretty much every aspect of their lives to receive a boost in 2019.

Rabbits can also expect their fair share of romantic and interpersonal success in 2019. "Relationships of all kinds will grow and strengthen this year. Singles will find love while those already coupled will spend more quality time with each other," said Carmen.

在爱情运和人际关系上，属兔的人在2019年也是顺风顺水。卡门说：“属兔的人的各种感情关系在2019年都会得到加强。单身人士会得到爱情，有伴侣的则会一起度过更多美好的时光。”

Astrologer Stellhorn added that this is also a good year for Rabbits to go back to school or travel. "If you plan to travel this year, you'll receive much help and support. And in your travels, you can meet people who can become important parts of your life," she said.

占星家斯特尔霍恩补充说，对于属兔的人而言，今年也非常适合重返校园或旅游。她说：“如果你今年有出游计划，你会得到很多帮助和支持。在旅游途中，你可能会遇到未来对你很重要的人。”

卡门说：“属龙的人在猪年的正财运和偏财运都很好。属龙的单身人士今年有望遇到合适的另一半，已经有伴的感情会更进一步。”

However, Stellhorn cautioned that the success of romantic opportunities will be tempered by Dragons' willingness to connect. "There are love opportunities for you if you're willing to come down to earth and have a conversation rather than just being admired from afar," said Stellhorn.

不过，斯特尔霍恩提醒说，属龙人的高冷会让良缘受阻。她说：“如果你愿意放下架子，与人交谈，而不是高高在上，你将有很多恋爱机会。”

健康就是财富，今年属鸡的人要特别注意健康和财富这两方面。如果不当心的话，他们的财富和健康在2019年都会受到重创。

但也不全是坏消息。斯特尔霍恩指出，2019年也会给属鸡的人带来良机。

"All the new things you've been doing for the last year or two are starting to pay off. New love is possible or you may take an existing relationship to the next level. An important contract or business agreement may be possible. You can negotiate a win-win," she said.

她说：“你前两年开始做的事情会初见成效。你可能会开启新恋情，也可能让现有的感情关系更进一步。你可能会达成重要的契约或商业协议，或通过协商获得双赢。”

Hard work and effort will pay off for Dogs this year. People with this sign may have faced a difficult 2018, but those tough experiences will help Dogs succeed in 2019.

属狗的人辛苦工作和付出会在今年得到回报。他们在2018年也许过得很艰难，但是这些挫折会帮助属狗的人在2019年取得成功。

卡门说：“过去的一年确实给属狗的人带来了许多挑战。这些挑战让他们变得更加成熟和实际。这将帮助他们在猪年充分把握机遇。”
