According to the 2020 Chinese horoscope, the Lunar New Year starts on Saturday, January 25th and ends on February 11th, 2021.

The Rat is the first sign from the 12 animals cycle of the Chinese Astrology, and for this reason, 2020 is considered a year of new beginnings and renewals.

The Year of the Metal Rat comes right after the Year of the Earth Pig (2019) and before the Year of the Metal Ox (2021)!

The years of the Rat are: 1912, 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020, and 2032.

New opportunities to find true love, and to earn more money will occur. The year 2020 will be successful for those who will take advantage of all the chances appearing throughout the year.

The year 2020 is quite challenging, especially health-wise, but also financially, with obstacles, impediments, and unpredictable situations, which will mainly occur during the first half of the year.

This situation is caused by the negative energy of the annual Flying Star 5, the star of destruction and disasters, which will have a strong influence during the Metal Rat year.

The vital force is weak, which is why this year you might feel pretty stressed, even by small things. You will notice slow progress in your projects, which is why you need to be confident in your strength, and you will be successful in bringing everything to a favorable end.

During the first half of the year, you will have more free time, and you will be able to rest and make plans for the future. You will consolidate the relationship with your life partner, and you will spend more time with the kids.

The year 2020 is under the influence of Flying Star 2, which is positioned in the south, causing all kinds of health issues.

The Metal Rat year is difficult and full of obstacles for the Water Chinese zodiac signs, but the other signs will also encounter many hurdles throughout the year, so they need to be more cautious than ever.

The Metal signs will face many difficult moments, and they will be forced to fight fiercely for their rights.

The Year of the Rat has ups and downs, but nothing of worth ever comes easy. During the second half of the year, the health of the Chinese zodiac signs will be much improved, their energy and zest for life coming back in full force.

You will have a hard time when you will be put in the situation of making decisions. Don’t let fear cloud your mind and soul. Trust your intuition!
