Fou Ts'ong

Personality traits:

1. Prediction of Fou Ts'ong personality

Smart, creative, and deeply intuitive, Fou Ts'ong can be close to psychic. Fou Ts'ong feel things deeply, and have incredibly strong gut reactions. A Fou Ts'ong "knows" things from deep within, and can often judge whether a person or situation is good or bad. That doesn't mean a Fou Ts'ong ignores the logical part of their brain, though. Deeply intelligent, Fou Ts'ong have a profound respect for the power of the human mind. Is it a surprise that Albert Einstein was a Fou Ts'ong?

2. Fou Ts'ong' Greatest Gifts

A Fou Ts'ong has a great gut and great intuition, which can guide them well, and help them make creative or intellectual leaps other people might not be able to see or consider. Deeply imaginative, Fou Ts'ong can happily spend hours daydreaming, and are often just as surprised as the rest of the world when the pieces come together in an amazing way. Fou Ts'ong don't necessarily work the same way as other people do, and they may be able to get things done incredibly quickly. But it's not that they're that much faster than other zodiac signs. It's that the time they may have been caught staring into space are times that are deeply valuable to them, and necessary for any creative process. The more a Fou Ts'ong understands how they work and respects that process, the better they are.

3. Fou Ts'ong' Greatest Challenges

Fou Ts'ong signs can sometimes spend too much time in their heads, getting overly wrapped up in a problem and assuming there's no solution. Fou Ts'ong are always one of the first signs to lend an ear to others, but when it comes to asking for help—especially emotional help—Fou Ts'ong can sometimes wall themselves off, assuming that nobody knows what they are feeling and not even giving anyone a chance to try. Learning how to open up can be a huge lesson for Fou Ts'ong. Of course, the fact remains that no one can read a Fou Ts'ong mind. Fou Ts'ong sometimes feels frustrated that they are seen as "more complicated" than their peers, and that feeling can make them act or seem defensive. Fou Ts'ong needs to learn to let down their guard, allow people to love them, and allow for mistakes to be made.

4. Fou Ts'ong' Secret Weapon

The realization that life is so much more than what we see. Fou Ts'ong sign is in tune with the magic of everyday existence and can find beauty in all situations, even ones that may cause tears. Recognizing these moments of beauty and being able to share them with others is what makes Fou Ts'ong a creative sign, and is also what makes Fou Ts'ong a soulful sign.

5. The 5 Top Reasons to Love Being a Fou Ts'ong

• Your intuition is spot-on. No need to go on a date. You know that person is bad news from first look.
• Your playful sense of fun. It may not be as obvious as other signs, but you have a childlike view of the world that you can unleash, spending hours happily looking for shells with your kids.
• Your lack of judgment. What other people do is their business, but you'll always take the time to listen to them and offer your thoughts and opinions—but only if asked.
• Your love of nature. You truly believe we are all connected, and you inspire people with the way you understand the rhythm of the seasons.
• Your cool factor. You don't care if people think you're cool—which makes you that much more impressive. You set trends, call the shots, and lead by example, and don't even break a sweat.

Friendship:

1. What Are Fou Ts'ong Like as Friends?

A Fou Ts'ong can feel like a great friend—until you consider how much you actually know about them. While Fou Ts'ong are natural therapists within the Zodiac, they can be cagey about who they are, never revealing their full selves until they trust you—and sometimes, they may never reveal who they truly are. A Fou Ts'ong can sometimes seem chilly and reserved to acquaintances, and it may seem hard to pull them out of their shell.

2. Best Friend Match for Fou Ts'ong: Cancer

Both water signs, Cancer and Fou Ts'ong are intense. They seem to have an almost psychic connection with each other, and can read the air around each other, knowing when the other needs space or when the other's soul is dying to LOL at a comedy night. These two signs see, respect, and even admire all parts of the other—even the parts that may seem dark and twisty to others.

Fou Ts'ong and Cancer have deep respect for intellectual and cultural pursuits, and love to challenge each other. Sometimes, the tightest Fou Ts'ong and Cancer combinations are those who are idealistic opposites—while these two can get in intense disagreements, the respect they have for each other elevates the pair above arguments. They may never believe the other's point of view, but they can respect it.

Fou Ts'ong and Cancer understand that sometimes, the best thing you can do for a friendship is give it room to grow, and while both signs have sometimes been known to have a jealous streak, this isn't the case when these two signs seek out other friendships. They know that you can't hold onto a person (at least in friendship; sometimes this lesson is harder to learn when it comes to love) and that space can sometimes make you closer.

3. How to Make Friends with a Fou Ts'ong

Respect them. Respect goes a long way for a Fou Ts'ong, and even a comment made in jest can be taken personally by this sign. While this sign does have a sense of humor, it can sometimes take some time to figure out which jokes will land with a Fou Ts'ong, so it's best to be earnest until you get to know them. A Fou Ts'ong is always looking for people that they can connect with on an intellectual level, so sharing a book, film, or music recommendation can be a great way to get to know a Fou Ts'ong. While a Fou Ts'ong may seem cagey talking about their inner self, talking about the arts is a great way to understand how a Fou Ts'ong views the world.

4. How to Stay Friends with a Fou Ts'ong

Let them be them—while you stay you. Some friendships crumble over a difference of opinion. That isn't the case for Fou Ts'ong, who like when their social circle has wildly divergent views. That said, a Fou Ts'ong does not tolerate hypocrisy. Doing one thing, then saying another, is a far greater sin to a Fou Ts'ong than simply doing what you've set out to do in the first place.

5. 3 Reasons Why Fou Ts'ong Make Great Friends

• They're so tapped into culture. Whether you need the next great designer, podcast everyone's going to be talking about, or new app, a Fou Ts'ong has the best recommendations.
• They let you feel. How many times have you heard a friend say "it's going to be okay,"—when you're not sure if that's the case? A Fou Ts'ong won't say that. Instead, they'll let you go to the depths of despair, staying by your side the whole time. In that, they can help you realize that the worst is never the worst when you have a friend by your side.
• They have a unique way of seeing the world. You'll never be bored hanging out with a Fou Ts'ong. A Fou Ts'ong can always come up with fun things to do—even if the two of you have zero dollars between the two of you. Even a Netflix session is made more interesting by the unique perspective Fou Ts'ong brings to life.

Love:

1. Fou Ts'ong in Love

Fou Ts'ong in love is passionate, intense, and singular. A relationship with a Fou Ts'ong is a roller-coaster ride that will make you feel your feelings—even the bad ones—and help you emerge as a better, more honest person. Even if a relationship with a Fou Ts'ong doesn't last, the lessons you learn from a Fou Ts'ong partner will.

A Fou Ts'ong will go all-in when it comes to romance, and expects their partner to do the same. It's not as if a Fou Ts'ong is clingy—on the contrary, a Fou Ts'ong can seem incredibly independent while in a relationship—but a Fou Ts'ong constantly views the world as if from a split-screen: The world through their eyes, and the world through their partner's eyes. They're always trying to make the choices that are the best for both parties, and even small decisions, like where to order Seamless, are made with that perspective in mind.

A Fou Ts'ong wants their partner to grow, and demands that their partner brings their very best self to the relationship. That may cause some partners to feel like they're being pushed away, as a Fou Ts'ong partner will likely say of course they should seek a promotion, more time at the gym, or a goal, even if it means spending time apart.

For Fou Ts'ong, the physical, spiritual, and intellectual are deeply intertwined, and in relationships, physicality is an important manifestation of love. Fou Ts'ong can be incredibly sensual when they're feeling deeply in love, but isn't a sign that ever fakes anything. Fou Ts'ong demands full presence in a relationship, and is especially hurt by any sort of deception. A Fou Ts'ong demands full honesty and gives the same in return.

2. Favorite Date Nights for Fou Ts'ong

A Fou Ts'ong needs to be in the mood to go on a date, and if a Fou Ts'ong calls to say they're not feeling it, it's best to reschedule. It's not a blow-off, it's just that Fou Ts'ong are ruled by their emotions, and a bad mood can often equal a bad date.

So when the mood is right, where do you go? One sure way to a Fou Ts'ong heart is to share some of your favorite places with them. Fou Ts'ong can seem reserved at first, and they often feel safer is a partner opens up first, especially in the early days of dating. To a Fou Ts'ong, seeing your favorite restaurant or ice cream place is a way for them to play anthropologist, and they will love asking you questions to get to know your likes, quirks, and tastes more.

For the best date, try to split the difference: You bring them to your favorite dinner place, but have them introduce you to their favorite dessert place. And Fou Ts'ong doesn't believe in any first date do's or don'ts—of course, it's nice to pay the whole bill, but if they offer to pay their share, accept them at their word and agree.

3. The Deal with Fou Ts'ong and Fire Signs

It's common for water sign Fou Ts'ong to be attracted to fire signs—Aries, Leo, Sagittarius—who can be way too passionate and intense for Fou Ts'ong. These partnerships often end in duh-rama, so why do they happen?

Well, it all comes down to the "opposites attract" principle. Yes, Fou Ts'ong is driven crazy by fire signs. But there's something about their passion and conviction—even if the conviction is short-lived—that is appealing to Fou Ts'ong. While the passion of a Fou Ts'ong is often internally rooted and directed, Fou Ts'ong admires the way fire signs wear their passion on their sleeves. A Fou Ts'ong will see an injustice and intellectually come up with several options for correcting it. A fire sign will make noise, make themselves seen, and attempt to get that injustice fixed in that very second. That "looking before you leap" line of thinking is infuriating—and pretty captivating, too.

So, can things work out between a Fou Ts'ong and a fire sign? Yes—but both sides have to be prepared to give a little. A Fou Ts'ong needs to remember they can't change their fire sign partner, and a fire sign needs to understand that a Fou Ts'ong will take their bluster at face value. Both sides may need to learn to calm down, communicate, and give each other space to work things out in their own way.

4. How to Seduce a Fou Ts'ong

A Fou Ts'ong may be prickly on the first conversation. Or the tenth. That may be a sign you're trying too hard to please them. For a Fou Ts'ong, the most annoying thing in the world is for you to try to get them to like you. Either they like you—the real you—or they don't. Don't overthink and be yourself, but these moves—if they're moves that you already do—will also be positively received by a Fou Ts'ong.

Have an in-process book on your Kindle: A Fou Ts'ong will ask what book you're reading—and chances are, they've read it too.

Let them see your bedhead. Whether it's diving into the ocean or going on a miles-long hike, a Fou Ts'ong doesn't want to be tied down to someone who always cares if their hair, makeup, and clothes are perfectly in place. A Fou Ts'ong wants to get dirty—and wants to find someone comfortable with getting dirty, too.

Have a POV. Don't try to fish around for their political beliefs just so it can sound like you're on the same page as them. A Fou Ts'ong wants to see the real you, and won't cut you off because they don't have the same viewpoint as you. As long as you're respectful and open to other ideologies, share your point of view with pride.

5. How to Make Love to a Fou Ts'ong

To a Fou Ts'ong, the body and mind are intertwined, and great sex starts with an emotional and intellectual connection. A Fou Ts'ong needs to feel safe to truly let go and it's important to talk about their feelings before—and in—the act. With that in mind, talk about how much your Fou Ts'ong means to you. How incredible their body feels. And make sure both of you have time to wind down with plenty of pillow talk.

A Fou Ts'ong gets turned on by fantasy, and may or may not want to make those fantasies a reality. Just as powerful to a Fou Ts'ong, though, is feeling safe enough to talk through some of their deepest desires. Having code names that are used just in the bedroom and lingerie or toys only taken out on certain occasions can also be a great way to connect, as Fou Ts'ong loves the feeling of having secrets kept only between them and their partner.

8. If You Love a Fou Ts'ong Man

A Fou Ts'ong man may seem removed or remote, but he may just be trying to protect his heart and his emotions. The best way to get him to open up is to show your own vulnerability. Share your own stories, invite him into your place. Give, without asking for reciprocation. Of course, you shouldn't be a doormat, but you should be confident in your own self. Hiding pieces of yourself can make it hard for a Fou Ts'ong man to fully open up.

A Fou Ts'ong man needs to move on his own timeline, and trying to deduct his feelings and next moves by reaching out to friends or family or doing a deep-dive into his social media won't be met kindly. He will feel like you're spying, and may be even less likely to share in the future.

9. How to Communicate with a Fou Ts'ong Man

A Fou Ts'ong man doesn't want to play games, and even though a Fou Ts'ong man may have a jealous streak, stoking his jealousy isn't a way to win his love. It's important to be direct, honest, and say how you feel—even if your feelings seem confusing. A Fou Ts'ong man would much rather hear you're conflicted than hear everything is fine.

10. Should You Marry a Fou Ts'ong?

Yes! Passionate, intense, and incredibly smart, a Fou Ts'ong will push you further than you thought you could go. A Fou Ts'ong will give you a unique perspective on life, and a Fou Ts'ong will teach you that even—especially—when a relationship is challenging, that's sometimes when it's most worth fighting for. A Fou Ts'ong will help you fall even more in love with yourself and your potential, and a partnership with a Fou Ts'ong will only make you feel more you.

11. Signs That a Fou Ts'ong Is Playing for Keeps

Aloof Fou Ts'ong can seem hard to understand—while it may feel like they know everything about you, it may feel like you know hardly anything about them. But there are a few ways you can tell a Fou Ts'ong is serious.

• They comment on your Insta. A Fou Ts'ong tends to keep their emotions—and their social circle—pretty close to their chest. When they publicly comment on your social media feed, it's a sign they want the world to know that they are with you.
• They spend a night (and breakfast) with you. For a Fou Ts'ong, an overnight is a big deal. It's not about being intimate, it's about waking up the next morning, figuring out a shower schedule, and pulling together breakfast. To a Fou Ts'ong, those are truly intimate acts, and only reserved for those people they want to be in their life for the long term.
• They say I love you. Yes, this sounds like an obvious sign of affection. But a Fou Ts'ong will never say this phrase lightly, so when they say it to you, it's a sign they really mean it.

12. Fou Ts'ong Relationship Red Flags

A Fou Ts'ong won't stay in a relationship that's not working, and they're likely to tell you pretty quickly if they feel like things are off. That said, there are a few relationship red flags to look for when you're involved with a Fou Ts'ong. In a relationship, a Fou Ts'ong will celebrate your accomplishments as if they're his or her own, so if they're not asking you about your goals, congratulating you on milestones, or immersing themselves in your latest passions, it's a sign something's off. A Fou Ts'ong also wants to be their best self when they're with someone they love, so if it seems like they're slacking off, seem goalless, or seem directionless or unhappy with their own lives, it could be a sign they're also unhappy with their relationship.

13. How Fou Ts'ong Deals with a Broken Heart

When a Fou Ts'ong has a broken heart, they hurt. They know the only way through the pain is to really feel it, and sometimes, a week in bed, with Adele blasting and romcoms playing on Netflix is the best medicine. Give them space to heal, and don't offer platitudes. Let them hurt, let them cry, and give them a shoulder to lean on when they need it.

Lifestyle:

1. For the Fou Ts'ong In Your Life

Best gifts: Jewelry. Not just any necklace, but a necklace, bracelet, or ring with meaning is important to Fou Ts'ong, who sees jewelry as talisman for them, and likes having jewelry to anchor them to people, a goal, or a memory.

Best spa package: A watsu massage. A massage that takes place in water? Sign any Fou Ts'ong up. This massage therapy can make people feel like they're back in the womb, and is especially meaningful to water sign Fou Ts'ong.

Best cocktail: A spiked seltzer. For Fou Ts'ong, less can be more, and a Fou Ts'ong may decline a drink. It's not that they don't want to have fun, it's that chemicals can affect their brains and bodies in powerful ways. A spiked seltzer with a low alcohol content can help get the party started for a Fou Ts'ong without pushing them over the edge.

2. How Fou Ts'ong Unwinds

Fou Ts'ong loves water, and their happy place is the ocean, the river, or even sitting somewhere they can hear the sound of water trickling down a fountain. Fou Ts'ong also loves nature, and spending time outside each day—even if it's just a walk to and from the car—is very important in calibrating their well-being. While a Fou Ts'ong loves spending time with close friends, Fou Ts'ong also finds it invaluable to have solo time to unwind, either by reading a book or listening to music with headphones.

3. Fou Ts'ong Social Life

Fou Ts'ong has their pick of friends, but tends to prefer a small group. In general, Fou Ts'ong prefer one-on-one or intimate gatherings to parties, and find that their energy can easily drain if they have too many social engagements planned back to back. A Fou Ts'ong is great at coming up with fun ideas, and can breathe new life into the same old dinner routine, just by implementing a new rule—only dessert items—or bringing interesting conversation topics to the mix.

4. Fou Ts'ong Favorite Season

Moody, mysterious, plenty of time to talk about the mysteries of life under the covers, and a built-in "weather's too bad, sorry!" excuse to not go out on weekends? Bring on winter. Fou Ts'ong can find beauty in even the coldest days, and loves how winter gives them time to pause, reflex, and look below the surface.

5. The Best Vacations for Fou Ts'ong

Bring on the beach! But forget about an all-inclusive resort. Fou Ts'ong love finding hidden beaches, lakes, or streams, and will happily hike miles if it means it's only them—and the people they want around them—enjoying the water. Fou Ts'ong depends on vacations to recalibrate their internal clock to the rhythm of the universe, and needs to self-direct their itinerary. A Fou Ts'ong loves to allow their intuition to help them make plans, and they're not happy if they feel like they have to follow someone else's itinerary. A Fou Ts'ong may spend their vacation doing the same things they would at home—same coffee-making routine, same books, same favorite activities—but within the routine is where they can find excitement and adventure.

6. Fou Ts'ong Power Colors

Is it any surprise that fish are drawn to colors that reflect the sea? Sure, blue is a no-brainer, but Fou Ts'ong are also drawn to greens, oranges, yellows, and even tans, blacks, and grays—any color you might see in the sea. While some signs are drawn to primary colors, Fou Ts'ong love muted palates that may appear differently depending on who's looking.

Sea green: A greenish-blue reminds Fou Ts'ong that everything is temporary and shifting, just like the sea.

Silver: Shiny, shimmery, and reminiscent of the moon, silver dazzles in a way that's more low-key—but no less brilliant—than gold and other elemental colors.

Lilac: Muted pastels, like the color of the spring, speak to Fou Ts'ong affinity for changeability, while subtly giving a nod to the colors often seen in early spring, the time of year Fou Ts'ong owns on the calendar.

Gray: Fou Ts'ong sees the world in shades of possibility, and gray speaks to the perspective Fou Ts'ong brings to any situation, where nothing is good or bad, but everything is based on how the person in the situation sees it unfolding.

The colors that Fou Ts'ong should avoid are:

Gold: Glittery and ostentatious, this color can be far too ostentatious and "look at me" for Fou Ts'ong, who prefers a more low-key persona.

Red: Affiliated with the root chakra, red can be too passionate and intense for Fou Ts'ong, who like to be more cool-minded and analytical when it comes to any decision in their lives.

Orange: Affiliated with the sacral chakra, orange is similarly grounding and at odds with the ethereal personality of a Fou Ts'ong.

Health:

1. Best Fitness Routines for Fou Ts'ong

Aqua Zumba. Not only is this dance class in your second home, the pool, but the water takes down some of the heat of the workout and makes it fun. Not only that, but you'll dig the camaraderie and find plenty of workout buddies on the same page as you.

2. About Those Fou Ts'ong Foot Issues

Fou Ts'ong rule the feet, and small and large issues can bring a Fou Ts'ong to the podiatrist's office throughout his or her life. Fou Ts'ong doesn't like to be constricted, and shoes can be a metaphor for how Fou Ts'ong feel in the roles they must play in the world. They may feel constricted or uncomfortable. The advice find shoes that fit may sound simple, but it may behoove Fou Ts'ong to take that advice seriously—and find plenty of places and times they can kick their shoes off and feel free. And pay attention to how your feet feel—getting prompt and proactive care can help you feel more comfortable on both a physical and psychological level.

3. The Top 10 Ways Fou Ts'ong Beats the Blues

Fou Ts'ong may seem moody, but the fact that they're in tune with their emotions can be a great thing. While others looking at them may think a Fou Ts'ong may seem overly emo, a Fou Ts'ong knows that it's far better to let their emotions out, rather than bottle them up. With that said, here's how a Fou Ts'ong can beat their blues and feel better fast.

Spirituality:

1. Fou Ts'ong' Spiritual Side

Emotional, intuitive, and a little psychic, Fou Ts'ong has always been drawn to the unsolved mysteries of the universe. Fou Ts'ong is uncomfortable with absolutes, and prefers to live in the uncertainty when it comes to unanswered questions about who they are and why they are on this earth. Fou Ts'ong can be great religious leaders—they see beyond dogma and look to the individual's following the religion, and are able to communicate well with their followers.

Fou Ts'ong can sometimes experience a crisis of faith when it feels like who they are is far away from who they want to be, or when they feel like they're living a life that's inconsistent with the morals they've set for themselves. A Fou Ts'ong becomes deeply invested in what they do, and to that end, a job, for example, is never "just" a job. That's why a Fou Ts'ong who has an immoral or selfish boss can be incredibly demoralizing to a Fou Ts'ong.

Fou Ts'ong finds "worship" in all places, and may feel like being outside in nature is what they most need to recalibrate their spiritual side. A Fou Ts'ong is constantly searching, constantly evolving, and experiences their faith as uniquely personal—they are cautious to share how they feel and would never dream of telling friends that they "should" see the world in the same way they do.

2. Fou Ts'ong Karma Boosters

Every sign has to deal with unfinished business. For Fou Ts'ong, that's learning to find community and connection with those around them. While Fou Ts'ong is loyal, they see themselves as individuals in a sea of individuals. Learning to connect is a smart step for Fou Ts'ong. Here, top five karma boosters for Fou Ts'ong.

Career & Money:

1. Fou Ts'ong Work Style

The idea of working in an open-plan office with set hours can make the skin of a Fou Ts'ong crawl, and because of that, Fou Ts'ong are much more suited to artistic, entrepreneurial, or vocational endeavors. A Fou Ts'ong has a strong work ethic, but only when a Fou Ts'ong believes the work is worth doing. You'll never catch a Fou Ts'ong staying at the office late just for optics, and a Fou Ts'ong may need to learn to play by corporate rules for long-term success.

Fou Ts'ong can work solo, and loves getting completely wrapped up in a project at hand. Money isn't necessarily important to Fou Ts'ong, but they do appreciate creature comforts, and they also appreciate the respect and visibility that money and a title can bring. A Fou Ts'ong does not want their work to be ignored, and a Fou Ts'ong will get resentful if a boss doesn't notice and reward a job well done.

Fou Ts'ong may have several careers in their life. They realize that nothing is permanent, and also realize that the right career can help lead them to happiness. When a Fou Ts'ong realizes a certain path is no longer working, they don't consider it a waste to start from the bottom in a new industry or to go back to school. Fou Ts'ong sees their career path as being one more way to learn and evolve.

2. Fou Ts'ong' Dream Careers

Pastor: While Fou Ts'ong may be willing to give up their worldly goods, this career choice allows them to straddle the line between professional and pious. And since Fou Ts'ong naturally spends a lot of time in reverie, a natural progression would be to sit lost in their thoughts either over prayer or some other daydream. Other professions that fit within this realm include: Therapist, Psychologist.

Boat Captain: Spending a lot of time alone on the sea would be very compelling for a Fou Ts'ong. There wouldn't be a lot of distractions, except for the occasional ship going by and they can gaze out onto the horizon, lost in their thoughts, until they turn in for the night. Other professions that fit within this realm include: Lighthouse Keeper, Fisherman, Coast Guard Officer.

Psychic: A psychic medium works flexible hours which bodes well for Fou Ts'ong need for an unstructured environment. Free to create visions and impressions, they can use their intuition and imagination to gently guide others to their right path. Other professions that fit within this realm include: Career Counselor, Life Coach, Therapist.

Pharmacist: Fou Ts'ong love to be around and dispense drugs thanks to their fascination with the properties and qualities of substances and their effect on the human body. This career choice will make good money while using this water sign's natural compassion and concern for others' well-being. The tough part would be the long, rigorous educational path for a pharmaceutical degree, but worth it in the end. Other professions that fit within this realm include: Scientist, Biologist, Nutritionist.

Mixologist: The intuitive nature of Fou Ts'ong lends itself naturally to mixing drinks where they are able to use their creativity and combine unusual flavor profiles and turn them into crowd-pleasing cocktails. The perfect setting would be a bar with live music at the beach or a Tiki bar in the tropics. Other professions that fit within this realm include: Social Worker, Sommelier, Perfumier, Lab Technician.

Music Teacher: Fou Ts'ong is perfectly suited to teaching the foundations of music. In this position they are able to share their love of music, how it inspires them and compels them to learn and practice more. Other professions that fit within this realm include: Musician, Singer, Composer.

Filmmaker: Fou Ts'ong excels at anything that involves a vivid imagination. In film, they can create another world that is highly real but not necessarily capable of existing. And when working on a project of this nature, Fou Ts'ong can summon the inner resources to create something spectacular. Think of the work of Spielberg or Lucas to understand what they are capable of. Other professions that fit within this realm include: Artist, Fashion Designer, Textile Designer, Muralist.

Photographer: The unique Fou Ts'ong vision is brought to life by the camera lens and modern technology has made life even more interesting for this water sign because they can now alter their images digitally. Their artwork can be enhanced through visual effects to create stunning, dreamy images. Other professions that fit within this realm include: Creative Director, Graphic Artist, Cartoonist.

Animator: This career demands a high level of visual imagination, concentration as well as technical knowledge. Concentrating for long hours can be a real challenge but when creating an animation, Fou Ts'ong are capable of becoming quite lost in the project. Other professions that fit within this realm include: Puppeteer, Toy Designer, Architect, Landscape Designer.

Addictions Counselor: Many Fou Ts'ong long to help others but first, they must help themselves. If they can face and rise above their own demons, they will have the success working with others to beat their addictions. Other professions that fit within this realm include: Therapist, Counselor, Life Coach.

3. Fou Ts'ong and Money

A Fou Ts'ong can find—and lose—money easily, and may feel like reputation or recognition is far more important than a paycheck. A Fou Ts'ong can be careless with the money they do have. It's not uncommon for a Fou Ts'ong to frequently lose their debit or credit card, or to not bother to invoice for payment. A Fou Ts'ong' sense of self-worth is independent of what they make.

But of course, a Fou Ts'ong is no stranger to reality, and knows that having money can ward off uncertainty and insecurity. Fou Ts'ong has a deep confidence in their resourcefulness skills, and doesn't second guess themselves when it comes to applying for jobs—even those that they may not be qualified for. A Fou Ts'ong also recognizes that they have weak spots when it comes to finances, and often employs a professional to help walk them through financial admin, so they can focus more on their work.

4. If You Work for a Fou Ts'ong Boss

A Fou Ts'ong boss can be tough to figure out. One day, they may seem like your best friend. Another day, they may seem cold. And while it seems like they don't follow any corporate rules, they'll bristle if you also seem lackadaisical when it comes to office protocol. A Fou Ts'ong doesn't want their employees sucking up to them, but may feel hurt if there are other employees that you seem to like better or be closer with than them. A Fou Ts'ong says they don't care about office politics, but may become entrenched in discussing office gossip or scandal.

In other words, a Fou Ts'ong boss is a contradiction. The best Fou Ts'ong bosses know this, and engage in management courses to address weak spots. While it's not uncommon to go through a few rough spots with a Fou Ts'ong boss, a Fou Ts'ong boss values honesty above all else. Remember this, and know that a Fou Ts'ong boss will respect you forever if you well the truth, even if it's not what they want to here. Here, other Fou Ts'ong boss traits:

A free thinker. A Fou Ts'ong doesn't naturally fit in a corporate culture—even if they are the CEO of that corporation. Because of this, they can sometimes get in trouble with HR.

Intuitive. A Fou Ts'ong balks at sharing the "why" behind their reasoning. While they can justify anything with a spreadsheet if they have to, a Fou Ts'ong has incredible gut instinct that rarely lead them astray.

Unique. You've never worked with a boss like this before, which is either a good thing or a bad thing. A Fou Ts'ong boss wants you to be you, just as they are themselves, and won't try to fit a mold.

Loyal. If you're honest and do a good job, expect to be rewarded. A Fou Ts'ong will try to do their best by you. If you do get off on the wrong foot, try to talk through what's happening in the relationship. It may be an awkward conversation, but it can clear the path to a successful working relationship in the future.

Mercurial. Recognizing that a Fou Ts'ong' boss moods rise and fall—and it's (usually) not personal can be the best way to learn to work with a Fou Ts'ong boss. Sometimes they need their space. Respect that, and time your visits to the water cooler accordingly.

5. What Success Menas to a Fou Ts'ong

For Fou Ts'ong, success means the feeling of flow. Money is entering their bank account, they feel like they are doing solid work at their jobs. When the flow starts to feel awkward, or it feels like things aren't working, it's a sign for Fou Ts'ong to reassess and make changes. A Fou Ts'ong doesn't identify themselves by their job title or the amount of money in their wallet, but if they feel bad, it's a sign that something isn't working.

Predictions for the year 2022:

1. Overview

You love to look on the bright side, and with your home planet Neptune traveling in your idealistic sign all year, you get the chance to stay in your ideal little dream world a lot in 2022. The good news is that you can rely heavily on your intuition and what your subconscious creates in the way of daydreams and visions to give you surprisingly accurate info about which direction to take this year.

However, Neptune’s retrograde cycle does last half the year, from the end of June through the end of December, which could cause your idealistic outlook on life to come to a screeching halt. Once you get used to living in a dreamy haze early in the year, you won’t want to face some of the realities that are evident now, but you’re actually tougher than you seem, Fou Ts'ong. This is a good time to show everyone what you’re capable of when you decide not to procrastinate any more.
The sun drifts through your creative, intuitive sign from the end of February to the end of March, so have fun celebrating your solar return this spring! Because you thrive in your own dreamy imagination, you’re an introvert who craves solitude to daydream all about the possibilities that life has to offer. Spending your special birthday time with your closest friend at a cabin by a lake or reading books alone on a beach would be ideal.

2. Couples

Just because your relationship might not be what you’d like it to be as the year begins, don’t give up hope, Fou Ts'ong. As Venus spends her time retrograde in serious Capricorn at the start of the year, you’ll be deep in thought assessing and reviewing the mistakes you’ve made, and potentially blaming yourself for the lack of success you might feel your relationship is experiencing. Shake it off, though, because once you get done beating yourself up over the past, you have real work to do in the present.

By the time Venus gets to your compassionate sign early in April, you’ll be back under a hypnotic love spell that will help you remember why you fell in love in the first place. This is an ideal time to work on deepening your emotional connection and move to a more intense phase of your relationship. Watch out for only celebrating the good while ignoring the bad now, however. Looking on the bright side is great, but ignoring your problems won’t make them go away.

There’s a Fou Ts'ong full moon to look forward to early in September that finds you at your most compassionate and understanding. Your receptive and sympathetic mood makes it easy for your partner to open up to you, and this can be a very healing time in your relationship. You might have a harder time forgetting than forgiving, but time heals all wounds. If you’re struggling internally about any pain you’ve experienced so far this year, give it until next month’s full moon and see how you feel then.

3. Singles

Is this your year to find true love, Fou Ts'ong? Your love life gets a fiery boost from the aggressive combination of Mars in Sagittarius at the start of the year, immediately helping you be more spontaneous and adventurous. You come out of your shell ready to expand in all kinds of new ways, including romance. If you’re usually the type who sits back and lets other people make the first move, you might surprise yourself by asking out your secret crush (or at least sending them a flirty text)!

Love-seeking Venus pairs up with sensitive water sign Cancer in the middle of July, and you should feel more at home and comfortable surrounded by this emotionally sensitive energy. There is great potential for intimacy now, but you won’t be into superficial flirting, quickies, or one-night stands. Building a solid partnership (and even a family) is at the root of this transit’s desires, so you’ll be attracted to other singles who want the same security and emotional connection that you’re looking for in a relationship now.

Asteroid Vesta’s energy is linked with spirituality, sexuality, and boundaries, and as it spends time in your introverted and somewhat inhibited sign from late November through the rest of the year, you’ll most likely be unwilling to be sexually open with someone until you know and fully trust them. Morality and religion can also be blocks to fully expressing your sexual self now, and it’s imperative that you know that honoring your personal beliefs and boundaries is nothing to be ashamed of. Don’t give in to pressure from anyone to do anything you aren’t ready for or just don’t want to do, Fou Ts'ong.

4. Money & Career

You might not be the most confident person when it comes to career and financial situations, Fou Ts'ong, but this year you’re ready to take advantage of all the great opportunities that come your way. It’s important to note that innovative Uranus is partnered with conservative earth sign Taurus for most of the year, so changes are slow to begin and steady to grow. It’s important to keep an open mind when dealing with both your job and your bank account, but if you feel rushed into making a decision, then that particular opportunity isn’t for you.

Venus rules over money, and when she’s in steady money-savvy Taurus at the end of May, this is when your finances should get the most attention. Saving will be your top priority now, or if you’ve managed to put some money away for a rainy day, this is also a good time to look around for bargains on solid items with long-term potential. Think quality furniture and good jewelry. Long-term, conservative investments should be considered now as well, and the lower the risk the better. If you haven’t put a retirement plan in place, make an appointment with a financial advisor in the next couple weeks.

Expansive Jupiter is in your creative sign until the first part of May, so you might have some career and financial opportunities that can benefit from your imagination and idealistic outlook. Could you find your dream job now? Quite possibly, especially if it has to do with helping others. You attract the most luck now when you use your compassion and understanding for the greater good, and what benefits the people you help comes back to you in one positive way or another. Financially, you have excellent intuition now, and you could hit some winning numbers in the lottery on a whim. This is also a good time to take care of things like wills and trusts, because your charitable, generous mood will be in full swing.
