What 2028 holds for each of the twelve animals. A Chinese year runs from one lunar new year to the next, so the themes here belong to that year rather than to the calendar.
Ally of the Monkey
The year begins with a need to tidy unfinished matters from the past. You might find yourself sorting through cluttered schedules or unresolved plans. Focus on fewer commitments early on to avoid spreading yourself too thin.

The Yang Earth Monkey — 戊申, Wu-Shen in the sexagenary cycle. The element is the heavenly stem, the Monkey the earthly branch, and the pairing comes back once every sixty years.
Chinese New Year 2028 falls on 26 January, the first day of the first lunar month. Li Chun, the solar start of spring, falls on 4 February. Four Pillars astrology counts the year from Li Chun; the zodiac animal is counted from New Year.
Four: the Monkey, in its own year; the Tiger, which clashes with it; the Pig, in harm with it; and the Snake, bonded to it and at odds with it at once. Tradition asks them for caution rather than ambition; it does not promise them a bad year.
It depends on how your branch sits against the Monkey. The Rat and Dragon are bonded to it; the Tiger, Monkey and Pig are not. The Snake is both: harmony binds it to the Monkey, while the two also strain each other. The rest have no strong tie either way.
Your animal comes from your birth year, with the boundary at Chinese New Year rather than 1 January. Enter your birth date in the Chinese zodiac calculator and it checks the exact date for your year.
