Your Chinese Horoscope 2010

An important aspect of the Tiger’s personality is that he does like to keep active and in his domestic life he will often have ideas he wants to carry out. However, despite his eagerness, these should not be rushed, and major home purchases or plans need to be thought through and costed carefully. With good planning, far better choices will often be made.

With this being a year for change, some Tigers may be tempted to move, and those who do will again need to allow time and avoid haste. However, whether the Tiger moves or remains in his present accommodation, 2010 will see a lot of practical activity, with many a Tiger being the instigator of some ambitious plans.

The Tiger can also look forward to some particularly special moments during the year, with personal news and family occasions to celebrate. And despite all the activity, by preserving time to spend with his loved ones, he can make this a gratifying and often eventful year.

The aspects are very much on the Tiger’s side this year, with opportunities to make more of his talents as well as enjoy the realization of his plans and the times he spends with others. This will be a busy year but a special one.

The Metal Tiger

This is the Metal Tiger’s own year and one which holds considerable promise for him. It is a year for forging ahead with plans as well as enjoying some personal achievements. The Metal Tiger will fare well and will also benefit from some strokes of good fortune.

Almost as soon as the Tiger year begins, if not a few weeks before, many Metal Tigers will detect a change in their fortunes. After being frustrated by some of the problems and pressures of the Ox year, they will begin to feel more determined and hopeful. And as one who likes to get on and do things, the Metal Tiger will realize that to make the changes he wants, he should act. Certainly, this is very much a year favouring initiative.

At work this is a time of change and opportunity. For those Metal Tigers who have felt frustrated in recent times, their own year can bring them the openings they have long been wanting. Some could find themselves ideally placed for promotion. For those who do take on new responsibilities, their new role will often allow them to concentrate on the areas in which their strengths lie.

Most Metal Tigers will remain with their present employer over the year and benefit from opportunities that arise there, but those who would prefer to change or reduce their working commitments could also enjoy some fortuitous chances. Sometimes good friends or close contacts could alert them to an ideal opportunity, or by making enquiries they could discover a position that is perfect for them. As many will find, once they start to take action, possibilities will emerge. March, May, July and September could see some interesting developments. These Metal Tigers should also not allow any applications that do not go their way to weaken their resolve. Opportunities can arise in curious ways in their own year and it is a time to remain persistent and alert.

Conversely, however, some Metal Tigers will retire this year. Those who do would do well to give serious consideration to the activities they would now like to pursue. With some clear objectives, these Metal Tigers will often revel in the opportunity to do what they want.

As far as personal interests are concerned, all Metal Tigers should look to develop what they do in some way. New challenges could be especially satisfying and should there be a particular interest that appeals to him, the Metal Tiger should follow it up. With good use of time and opportunity, he will find his actions and interests can add a great deal of pleasure and purpose to the year.

The Metal Tiger can also look forward to some interesting travel opportunities. In addition to a special holiday, possibly to mark his sixtieth birthday, he could have chances to go away for a short break or receive invitations to visit others. Although some of his travelling could be arranged at short notice, he can look forward to visiting some interesting destinations as well as enjoying himself while away.

With his own year having an element of luck, if he sees a competition that interests him, he would also do well to enter it. His own year can have some pleasant surprises in store.

Throughout the year the Metal Tiger will be grateful for the support of those around him, with his domestic life being both active and meaningful. However, with some of the ideas he has and decisions he will need to make, he does need to be open and communicative. This way, more can be decided, arranged and looked forward to. In addition, with some Metal Tigers deciding to move or make improvements to their home, if decisions are shared and all play their part, plans will often be all the easier to carry out. The Metal Tiger will also be grateful for the encouragement he is given for some of his own activities, and others may well have surprises in store to mark his sixtieth birthday. Over the year the love, support and goodwill shown him will be special and mean a great deal to him.

He will also enjoy an increase in social activity, particularly arising from an interest he pursues. By making the most of opportunities to meet other enthusiasts, as well as taking up invitations, he can look forward to some interesting and pleasurable occasions. Any Metal Tiger who is keen to lead a fuller social life or make new friends will find that positive action will reward him well. For some who are unattached, a new friendship could turn to romance and add a definite sparkle to the year. Social opportunities could occur at almost any time, some with little warning, but April to June, August, December and early January could be particularly active and special months.

The Metal Tiger’s own year contains many positive aspects but, as with any year, problems can still arise and disappointments sometimes occur. In 2010 these will often come as a result of rush or unnecessary risk, and despite the Metal Tiger’s natural enthusiasm, he does need to be wary of acting without sufficient thought or consultation. Particularly in financial matters, when dealing with paperwork or making important decisions, he will need to be thorough, attentive and prepared to check anything which may be unclear.

In most respects, though, this will be a highly favourable year for the Metal Tiger, and by using his time and opportunities well, he can accomplish a great deal as well as look forward to some personally rewarding times.

TIP FOR THE YEAR

Give some thought to what you want to do. With clear aims and ideas, a lot can open up for you. This is your year and it can bring you much good fortune.

The Water Tiger

The Water Tiger will have much in his favour this year. With his Tiger enthusiasm combined with the Water element making him an effective communicator, important doors will open up for him, allowing him to accomplish a great deal. After the muted progress some will have experienced of late, this is a time when they will be able to reap some well-deserved and sometimes overdue rewards.

One important feature of the year is that it will give the Water Tiger a greater chance to act on his ideas and to use his strengths. If there is a specific objective that he has been keen to realize or changes he has been considering, now is the time to keep alert and explore possibilities. As many Water Tigers will find, once they start to take action, developments can quickly follow on.

At work the Tiger year can be particularly significant. For some Water Tigers, important opportunities can beckon, even though these may be different from what they may have envisaged. For some these could entail considerable change and upheaval, but to compensate, these Waters Tigers will often feel invigorated by the challenge they are now presented with.

For Water Tigers who are feeling staid and unfulfilled at work, this can also be the year when their career enjoys a new lease of life. Opportunities in their present place of work could allow some to switch to something different and broaden their skills, while others, by making enquiries, could find a more fulfilling position with another employer. Again, once the Water Tiger has made the conscious decision to make a change, he will be setting important—and unstoppable—wheels in motion.

For Water Tigers seeking work, the Tiger year can also bring some interesting opportunities. A major feature of the year is that it will give many the chance to develop their skills in new ways. March, May, July and September to mid-October could see the best opportunities, but such is the nature of the Tiger year that possibilities can open up quickly and at almost any time. As far as work matters are concerned, this is a year to keep alert and be ready to act.

With the encouraging aspects, the Water Tiger will also find this a favourable year to develop certain personal interests or skills. Those who are creative could find this a particularly inspiring time, with some exciting ideas to explore. If they are able to promote or display any of their work, they could be encouraged by the response.

The Tiger year can also bring some unexpected travel opportunities and, in addition to a main break or holiday, the Water Tiger could receive invitations to visit others or find his work giving him the chance to travel. Over the year many Water Tigers can look forward to visiting some interesting destinations and areas new to them.

The Water Tiger’s progress over the year can lead to an improvement in his financial situation and this may well lead to him deciding to go ahead with certain plans or purchases he has been considering. However, he should still keep a close watch on his spending and where possible consider setting something aside for the longer term. Money saved now, sometimes enhanced through tax relief, could become a welcome asset in years to come. Also, the Water Tiger should be wary of risk or complacency. Despite the encouraging aspects, misjudgements could still occur, and time does need to be allowed for planning major purchases. Water Tigers, take note and do manage your money wisely.

This will be a special year in the Water Tiger’s domestic life, often being marked by some important family news or celebration. The Water Tiger will enjoy playing a key part, particularly in making arrangements. Also, throughout the year he will do much to help and advise close relations, with his time and insights being valued. However, with many Water Tigers experiencing change in their work and others in their household leading equally busy schedules, it is important that there is good co-operation and a sharing of household tasks. As with any year, pressures, problems and differences of opinion will sometimes raise their head, but if there is a willingness to talk these through, they will not detract from this often rewarding time.

The Water Tiger’s work, interests and circle of friends will also give rise to some social occasions over the year and he will often enjoy the company of those who are like-minded. For Water Tigers who would welcome a more fulfilling social life, the Tiger year can see a transformation in their situation and, for some, the chance of an important new friendship or romance. Again, if the Water Tiger is active, a lot can open up for him. April to June, August and December to early January will see the most social activity.

Overall, this is a year of considerable potential for the Water Tiger and by seizing his opportunities, he can make important progress. With determination, goodwill and good luck, this can be a successful and progressive year.

TIP FOR THE YEAR

Take the initiative. Believe in yourself and what you want. By making decisions and taking action, you can take advantage of some important developments and will find that opportunities will often quickly follow on.

The Wood Tiger

This is a year of considerable opportunity for the Wood Tiger, although just how much he achieves is partly dependent on him. As a Wood Tiger, he has a keen nature and is interested in many things, but without care, he can spread his energies too widely. To reap the rewards of this favourable time, he does need to remain focused and disciplined.

As the Tiger year starts, it would help him to have some idea of what he wants to accomplish during it. This could be related to almost any area of his life, but with some thoughts in mind he will not only make better use of his time and energy but also be alert to the right actions to take. By planning ahead, he will be able to get far more out of the year.

The Wood Tiger’s work prospects are especially promising, with important opportunities opening up. Sometimes, as a result of work he has recently been engaged on, his employer could look to him to take on a greater role. Many Wood Tigers will find themselves being trained for and offered promotion this year. Such are the aspects that one step up could be the prelude to others and, particularly for the ambitious, this can be a year of substantial headway and some great personal and well-deserved success.

For Wood Tigers who feel there are limited openings in their current place of work and want to further their experience elsewhere, again some very good opportunities will be available. By making enquiries and, if appropriate, talking to contacts, they could be alerted to some ideal positions. By having a clear idea of what they want to do and taking that all-important first step, they will find possibilities soon opening up for them.

This also applies to those Wood Tigers seeking work. Although some may have become dispirited about their prospects in recent times, by maintaining belief in themselves, they will find their drive, initiative and commitment will often prevail and give them the chance they have been wanting. For some this will be in a totally different area than before but will nevertheless set their career off on a potentially rewarding track. This is a year of scope and possibility. Opportunities can arise quickly, with March, May, July and September seeing some interesting developments.

The progress the Wood Tiger makes at work will lead to a rise in income and some Wood Tigers could receive funds from another source or find a personal interest supplementing their means. However, to reap the benefits of any upturn, the Wood Tiger will need to manage his money carefully. It would be helpful for him to look ahead and make provision for more expensive plans and outlays. Also, if entering into an agreement, he does need to check the terms and implications. The aspects may be on his side, but this is still not a year for risks or proceeding on a hurried or ad hoc basis. With clear ideas and good management, the Wood Tiger will fare much better financially.

For many Wood Tigers, accommodation matters will figure prominently over the year, including a possible move. Here again, costs need to be considered and early provision made for new obligations. However, while moving or carrying through plans will bring pressure, what is achieved can underline the progressive nature of the year.

Such are the aspects that many Wood Tigers can also look forward to a personal celebration during the year. For some this could be a personal or family success, a decision to marry or, if currently alone, the start of a serious relationship. This can indeed be a special and personally exciting time. Also, throughout the year the Wood Tiger will be well supported by those close to him. At times of pressure he will find it helpful to share his concerns and will benefit from the advice and assistance given.

In return the Wood Tiger will do a lot for others during the year and for those Wood Tigers with more senior relations, the time and help they are able to give will be more appreciated than they may realize. For those who are parents, the encouragement and care given to their children will not only be important in terms of their physical development but will also strengthen rapport and understanding.

With the Wood Tiger’s relations with others being favourably aspected this year, he can also look forward to some pleasurable social occasions and opportunities to meet others. For the unattached, romance or an important new friendship could transform their year. April, June, August and December could see the most social activity, but whenever the Wood Tiger has invitations or sees events that appeal to him, he should try to go. Not only can these often be highly enjoyable, but they can also bring balance to his lifestyle. There will also be opportunities to travel during the year, although, as with so much in 2010, planning ahead will enable the Wood Tiger to do more.

On a cautionary note, when taking part in physical activities, whether sport, recreation, lifting or undertaking strenuous tasks, the Wood Tiger will need to take care and follow the correct procedures. Similarly, if he experiences a spate of hectic days and late nights, he should make sure he allows himself the chance to rest and catch up, as well as pay attention to his well-being and diet. Taking good care of himself will enable him to enjoy this positive year.

Generally, this is a year of considerable promise for the Wood Tiger, with successes and sometimes celebrations in his personal life to enjoy, while in his work there will be good opportunities to progress. To benefit fully he will need to keep focused and act on his ideas and the very good opportunities that will come his way. But with his own keen nature, backed by the support of those around him, this can be a positive and rewarding year.

TIP FOR THE YEAR

Be disciplined. With resolve and purpose, a lot can open up for you. Use your time and opportunities wisely and you will be rewarded well.

The Fire Tiger

Whether it is because this is the Year of the Tiger or due to his own ambitious nature, the Fire Tiger will be keen to make much of the next 12 months. He realizes that achieving his aims not only rests on his willingness to act but also to put himself forward. And his determination, energy and considerable qualities will lead to some significant developments during the year and times of personal happiness.
