In an interview with “Unang Hirit” and GMA News Online, Johnson said those born in the Year of the Rooster need to learn how to regulate their temper this year.

“Dapat maging maingat tayo pagdating sa tension,” he said. “Mabilis uminit ang ulo natin at pwedeng magkaroon ng conflicts with other people, so maging careful when it comes to emotions.”

Money: Financial luck is strong, but avoid impulsive spending or risky transactions. Extend your patience and avoid major conflicts or misunderstandings within your organization.

Career: Try to resolve conflicts as soon as possible to avoid affecting your reputation. Don’t carry responsibilities alone and learn to seek help when needed.

Love: There is an opportunity to find the right partner this year, but beware of misunderstandings caused by ego and pride. Avoid dwelling on negative feelings and embrace positive energy.

Health: Avoid low energy and self-pity. Practice positive thinking and learn to express yourself clearly. Be mindful of mental and emotional stress, and watch out for accidents caused by carelessness.

Just a friendly reminder: These are only guides. Our true fate will still depend on the actions and decisions we make in our lives. — LA, GMA Integrated News
