Your 2021 Lunar Year Money Horoscope: How to Prosper in the Metal Ox Year

Sponsored by YNAB

From February 12, 2021 to February 1, 2022, we’ll all observe the Lunar Year of the Metal Ox. It’s a time for tenacity and hard work. Slow and steady wins the 2021 money game during this cycle. 

Unlike the Western zodiac, which follows the Sun and the seasons, the 12 Lunar Year animal zodiac signs actually correspond to Jupiter’s orbit, which takes one year to travel through a single sign (both in Eastern and Western astrology) and 12 years to completely orbit through the zodiac.

Since Jupiter is the planet of luck, abundance and growth, aligning your financial goals to the energy of each Lunar Year can help you create and cultivate your bounty. 

The 12 Chinese zodiac signs are sub-grouped into four “harmony triangles” that share a similar energy: 

• Rat-Dragon-Monkey
• Ox-Snake-Rooster
• Tiger-Horse-Dog
• Rabbit-Sheep-Pig

We teamed up with our friends at YNAB (You Need a Budget) to give you a grounding principle that will help you prosper in 2021’s Metal Ox year, working WITH your animal archetype’s essential nature.

Tiger, Horse, Dog: Embrace Your True Expenses

The Tiger, Horse and Dog are among the most clever and nimble animal archetypes of the Lunar zodiac—and the most social. Because this harmony triangle relies on the gift of gab, you miiiiiight just overpromise, overspend or leap without looking. But 2021 year is NOT the time to “beg forgiveness instead of ask permission.” Instead, experiment with the YNAB principle of embracing your TRUE expenses. Get real with yourself about your spending and you won’t have to talk your way out of any tight spots!

Rabbit, Sheep, Pig: Age Your Money

Security is important to this harmony triangle. You tend to ebb and flow, to work hard and play hard. Aging your money simply means that you let money stay in your bank account for longer periods, where it can grow. Creating long-term financial security gives you core feeling of emotional safety and comfort you need. By applying this YNAB Rule, you can have a few “off” days or escape into one of your creative pursuits—and you won’t break the bank doing so!
