Year of the tiger
The Year of the Tiger is just what is needed to liven up our lives after the conservative Year of the Ox.
This year will be filled with new friendships and new adventures. Loyalties will be tested as will our strengths but we will come out on top in the end with stronger friendships and a better knowledge about what we are capable of as a result.
Last year, we may have had to work harder than necessary to gain less than we deserve. This year, we may find ourselves finally reaping our hard earned rewards.
We may have to learn greater patience as the Year of the Tiger tends to make people more impulsive, sensitive, and emotional.
It's an auspicious year for those of us who aren’t afraid to think on our feet and strike while the iron is hot. This particular year is known as a Metal year, meaning that we may be even stronger and more powerful than usual.
It's a time to stand out in the crowd, one where we will be assertive, humanitarian, and competitive. Once we have goals in mind, we will do anything to achieve them. We will see that the ends usually justify the means-For better or for worse.
People born this year may be unusually attractive and charismatic which may gain them many obvious benefits. However, the drawbacks to being so beautiful and having things come so easily to them, is that they may end up relying upon their beauty, charisma, and popularity instead of developing their own (quite possibly formidable) talents and abilities.
This year, we should be careful not to jump to conclusions or to behave too hastily. It’s good to weigh all the options before signing papers or making choices. We should give the benefit of the doubt no matter what comes our way.
We will be empathic, sensible, and understanding. There’s a chance we could be caught up in fantasies or daydreams about a better future or perhaps about how we felt about some forgotten utopian yesterday. Lovers may find the Year of the Tiger a fiery, provocative, and sensual one.
Now may be a good time to begin dialogues concerning the environment or humanitarian actions towards other cultures. We will have the inventive potential and cultural know-how to form organizations that can help out the entire world. Hydrogen or electric cars, alternative fuels, and carbon neutral works, the Year of the Tiger reminds us that we do not inherit the earth from our ancestors but that we borrow it from our children.
The Year of the Tiger tends to support people with a tendency to burn the candle at both ends. Nevertheless, this will be a good year for quick healing and recovery for many of us. It’s also a good year to re-examine outdated health and lifestyle routines.
Many people may change to a vegetarian diet this year as they begin to consider their impact on the environment with what they buy or consume. This year will see great strides towards civil rights around the world. We may find our homes a place of solace and warmth and wish to begin practicing yoga or prayer at home.
It’s also an auspicious year for travelling to far off places. We may expand our realms and imaginations through overseas or exotic journeys.
The Year of the Tiger is a time of courage and creativity and this will show itself in the work we do and the success we find. Tigers love being surrounded by friends and family and make exceptionally vibrant hosts and hostesses.
We may greatly enjoy sharing and exchanging gifts, however, 'never a borrower or a lender be' is a good motto for the Year of the Tiger. The Year of the Tiger is a time of caring, creativity, strength, and power - we may feel as if we are on the verge of a whole new era, one where we will be far more interested in diplomacy than war.
