Taking a stroll through Hong Kong's busy Times Square is just one way Bobo enjoy spending his Lunar New Year holiday. Like many in Asia, this French bulldog is excited about the festivities. Somehow he's got a feeling this is going to be his year, and for good reason, it's the year of the dog. The start of the Lunar New Year is often a time for Hong Kongers to get their fortunes told, though sometimes it's better not to know.

"Your relationship is basically good, but this year Bobo will be lonely, and have a small accident sometime in the summer. "

It is also a time to visit the city's temples to give thanks for the past year and pray for good luck in the new. Just how lucky you are though really depends on when you were born, according to celebrity 1 fortune teller 2, Peter So. So says luck signs this year are the snake, pig and rabbit. Snakes will have the best year in love and in their careers.

It's a good year for unmarried snakes to get married. Pigs will enjoy good luck in their careers, probably getting that hard-earned promotion 3. Unmarried rabbit people will likely hook up with someone from their past, though the relationship might not last very long.

Unlucky signs this year, according to Master So, the ox, goat and dragon. Ox and goat people will be the target of vicious gossip, and will be prone 4 to digestive problems. Dragons born in the spring and summer will experience changes for the worse in their careers and in love. But it's not that great for dogs either. According to Chinese astrology, people tend to clash with their zodiac sign.

Dog people will likely fall into a deep depression around the end of September, so they should take a holiday that month.

There is a way though to improve your luck. Through Fengshui, to increase your luck with money, you can place a glass of water to the north. To ward 5 off gossip, you should place a sheet of pink paper in the center of your home or office. To improve your health, you can place a music box or a plate of wet sand in the northeast or southwest.

And once you ve taken all those precautions, put on your party clothes and hit the town. The start of the Lunar New Year is traditionally a time to invest in a new wardrobe. Be you man, or man's best friends.
