Feng Shui forecast for the Year of the Water Snake

Valentine's Day is just around the corner, but it might be best not to get your hopes up too much. According to one feng shui master, the Year of the Water Snake is a good year financially, but not for romance.

"For relationships, people should not expect too much in this year. They should concentrate on work," geomancer Joseph Chau said during a press conference at Mandarin Oriental on January 28.

According to Chau's forecasts, this is not a good year for love affairs for those born in the year of the Snake, Goat, Rooster, Rat, and Ox.

On the other hand, the romantic star shines bright for those born in the year of the Horse, Dog, Tiger, Rabbit, and Dragon. For those born in the year of the Monkey, romantic sparks are ignited easily, but married Monkeys must avoid extramarital affairs, Chau said.

However, Chau stressed that the forecasts do not determine what will actually happen. For instance, there is a marriage star in 2013 for President Benigno Aquino III, who was born in the year of the Rat. But as Chau said, "it depends on the President to make decisions. We cannot say anything. We cannot decide for him."
