Tatler’s 2023 Chinese horoscope: The 12 animal signs forecast in July

Malaysia's master of Chinese Metaphysics and world-renowned feng shui expert Dato' Joey Yap gives Tatler an overview of what's in store for each animal sign in the Chinese zodiac in the Year of the Water Rabbit

The fourth animal in the 12-year cycle according to Chinese astrology, the Rabbit is a zodiac animal that represents people born in 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, and 2023.

The Year of the Water Rabbit is a sub-component of the Rabbit that applies to those born in 1963. This is because Chinese astrology also incorporates the five elements—water, metal, wood, earth, and fire—and the zodiac moves through a different element each year.

The Rabbit symbolises good luck, patience, prosperity, and vigour while the Yin Water element represents sensitivity, intuition, and inner peace. Combined, we can expect to move into a more patient and gentle 2023, with some lucky breaks.
