It’s 2020! That means we’re leaving the year of the earth pig behind and entering the year of the metal rat. In this episode, Anjie and Laura go over each of the Chinese zodiac animals, and give a little information on what each animal can expect from the coming year.

  • Which animal you are based on your birth year and a bit about each animal’s personality

  • Which animal relationships are the most harmonious and which ones are the most challenging

  • How each animal relates to the rat, and how this might affect your year ahead

  • What to do if your animal has a more challenging relationship with the rat

  • A special discount code on our New Year Reset Package for podcast listeners

  • Plus lots of animal puns from Laura…
