To celebrate, Godiva has launched luxurious Limited Edition Lunar New Year Gift Boxes, showcasing the iconic NEW Lady Godiva pieces.

But did you know what the Year of the Horse means exactly?  The Year of the Horse gives hope for a new year of happiness, prosperity and health. Be the first to give and receive good luck – and delicious chocolate!

We did a little research and discovered the ‘lucky’ and ‘unlucky’ signs in Year of the Horse courtesy of ABS-CBNnews.com

A Hong Kong-based feng shui expert has revealed his predictions for various animal zodiac signs as Chinese New Year nears.

The Year of the Wooden Horse will commence at 12:01 a.m. on January 31, although Joseph Chau Kam Shing told ABS-CBN that the formal duration of the year will be from February 4 at 6:03 a.m. to February 3, 2015.

While not all signs are “lucky” this 2014, Chau said these can be reversed or enhanced through the use of charms.

Some of them include treasure buckets for wealth, a jade dragonhead fish for career, a jade master protection pendant for safety, longevity coins for health, and a Mandarin duck for romance and relationships.

For overall luck, one may try the benefactor jade, he said to ABS-CBN News.

In a press conference at the Mandarin Oriental Manila on Monday, Chau shared his 2014 forecast for each animal sign.

Here are his predictions for those born in a Horse year (all the signs are found at the ABS-CBN site):
Horse (1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014)

The Horse’s nature: Cheerful, charming loyal, friendly, hardworking, independent, energetic, subjective and self-centered.

General forecast: More or less, they will be quite emotional and under stress at work. It is important that they know how to relax more and stay quiet for self-protection. On the other hand, they have to keep a low profile and be patient to avoid unnecessary rumors and jealousy.

On money: It is neither too good nor too bad. Horses will have a stable and satisfactory income, but they should still cut down their unnecessary expenditures.

On relationships: Lovers should be patient with each other. Married Horses should keep away from temptation or they will face separation. They must be careful with the way they handle their relationship to avoid any conflict especially in the lunar months of February, March, May, September and December.

On health and safety: Horses should pay attention to road safety, stay away from sharp objects and beware of problems with the eyes, heart, high blood pressure, stroke and cardiovascular system. It is important that they do not go to funerals or wakes during the whole year. To enhance their luck, they should have a blood test or oral prophylaxis in the beginning of the year.
