Chinese Horoscopes for TIGER
THE YEAR OF THE
CHINESE METAL TIGER 2010
The CHINESE TIGER has a reputation for being bold, ferocious, and irreverent.
It is said to have a heart of gold, but a wall of steel that not many are brave enough to penetrate. The TIGER energy can make you feel protected or persecuted, loved or ignored. It can turn you into a warrior or a victim. This powerful creature has many positive traits and talents, but so often they ignore them, preferring instead to stay in the chaos of the dramas they create.
On an international level the METAL TIGER year will be filled with lots of governmental puffing of chests and threats. No matter whether East or West, politics in a TIGER YEAR could get very dirty indeed. Especially in regard to wars.
Sending in more and more troops to fill a black hole will never ease or solve a solution in a METAL TIGER YEAR. Metal represents guns, bullets and money – so just how far will certain countries go and spend, in their pursuit of ‘WINNING’. How on earth anyone can ever believe they have won a war is beyond me, but then perhaps that’s because God made me a Chinese DOG!
So sorry to cast such a bleak picture, but my part in this is, I believe, the fact that I am a Chinese DOG, and one of the few creatures who have the ear of the TIGER. (Always wanted to write eye of the tiger in something – I suppose ear is close and we needed to bring in some humour).
So, I would like to make a personal plea to the governments of the world and especially PEACE PRIZE winner Mr Barack Obama, to act with humility and wisdom during the next 12 months to ensure that those moments where things that might normally just get sorted out, even if difficult, continue to get sorted out, rather than grossly exaggerated and exacerbated into rhetoric and verbal mud slinging in a way that can lead to some crazy moment where someone presses the wrong button – if you get what I mean, and we are all blown into oblivion – wherever that is.
You see the other side of the TIGER is the loveable, sweet and affable being that you and I may know as a good friend who wants to help and support the needy and those who can’t stand up for themselves.
They often find themselves in jobs where they are doing exactly that, or in situations where laws and rules keep others in check, but not them, because they are more than capable of rule bending and breaking if it suits their purpose.
To know a TIGER is an incredible journey, sometimes into madness. To love a TIGER is one of the most difficult things in the world because they can make you feel so wanted one minute and the next they are threatening you with violence or angry words. And God help you if you try to fight back, because they really do have to have the last word!
If we manage to survive 2010, and I am sure we will, and reach the ever so refined energy of the Rabbit/Cat in 2011, I believe we will have left behind a way of living that will never be allowed to raise its ugly head again. But I do wonder just how far things will go in 2010 to create that?
On another note, not forgetting the METAL TIGER and the whole issue of water. Not sure yet how this will play itself out but there could be many floods and or droughts. If we are thinking TIGER water then either way there is likely to be an issue.
All we can do is be prepared and hopefully if you live where things flood, perhaps put your precious possessions in the loft – especially between May and June.
This is certainly going to be an interesting year and one I don’t think anyone will forget!
wishing you all much love, hope and peace Elizabeth xxxx
CHINESE HOROSCOPES run for a year and each year the animal changes. They repeat in a 12 year cycle, rather like the 12 houses of Western astrology. They tend to change around the time of the First New Moon which is either late in January or early in February. Therefore the change will be at the beginning of the following year. I cannot supply all dates but will give you a guideline to match your year. For instance in 1984 the year started on 2.2.84 and ended on 19.2.1985.
The year of the RAT
1936-7/1948-9/1960-1/1972-3/1984-5/1996-7/2008-9
THE TIGER energy is both a temptress or tempter to the imaginative and impatient RAT, so take care in matters of love this 2010. You are likely to get on like a house on fire at first meeting with that someone special, but do be warned that when the going gets hot and the stakes are raised, you are likely to run for cover my dear RAT friend, simply because the path of least resistance is much more preferable. Now I am not saying that RAT’s are cowards, infact far from it. But what they are is VERY INTELLIGENT and they simply won’t hang around and watch the machinations of those game players in the world. RAT we need you in office in 2010 in order to prevent catastrophes in the world. You are an industrious workaholic, who rarely backs down from your goals. Now the METAL TIGER energy may believe it can persuade you to follow its line of thinking, but you will never be made to feel beholding and that is where relationships can fall away or break up. However, it is likely to be the TIGER holding the tissues, if you date one of these amazing creatures. Success in business is achievable, just keep yourself in the background and become a watcher rather than a leader in this year of 2010. Expect a rise or promotion by June if you keep watching rather than pushing.

The year of the OX
1937-8/1949-50/1961-2/1973-4/1985-6/1997-8/2009-10
MOST FAMOUS OX - President Obama
This is really an interesting year for you OX after the flowing power of last year. You may find things are a little more difficult to get off the ground, especially in regard to money and financial prospects, as the TIGER simply isn’t giving.
You could feel exasperated by the whole affair of business and finance, especially if you have put money
into something and it isn’t paying off.
But you cannot walk away because you are indebted or responsible. Now TIGER laughs at all this need for accountability and quite clearly thinks you are boring.
It may gee you into some kind of knee jerk reaction. Be patient OX, just because we know you can be, and try and ride through this year like a surfer.
All I can promise is that if you try and fight back too much you are likely to loose to this power house METAL TIGER. This is simply not your year for investment or too much procurement. Just sit back and bide your time and even if things fall fallow, trust that you will be able to build them back up in 2011.
The year of the TIGER
1938-9/1950-1/1962-3/1974-5/1986-7/1998-9/2010-11
Well it clearly is your year TIGER, but where do you go with that knowledge?
Simply put you are going to stand out from the crowd and be noticed in whatever field you exist. People will simply be drawn to you and your ideas and beliefs.
The more sensitive of you will thrive in the media and communications industries and there may well be abundant offers of money and prosperity thrown your way, but spare a thought for those that walk closely beside you in life. They may not have your tenacity and attitude, but they do deserve some airtime too.
No matter what area of life you serve, and service is something that may just raise its head too, we are relying on you to keep that temper of yours in check to enable us to get through this year unscathed. If you walk the halls of Congress or Parliament, then try and keep a reign on your temper. We all know that you can be one of the best motivational speakers on this planet – communication is your gift – but we need to see that you believe in humility, love and peace as well.
FAMOUS TIGER VICTORIA BECKHAM
The year of the RABBIT
1939-40/1951-2/1963-4/1975-6/1987-88/1999-20
The RABBIT is known as having an eye for something special. Usually that includes a very special antique, a handsome piece of jewellery, a rather grand manner house and a very pretty face. But what the RABBIT doesn’t like is falling prey to a dodgy deal or bogus heist. He will not behave well if he believes he has been stitched up or manhandled.
Now RABBIT is usually very good at spotting such tricksters – he has a natural inbuilt radar that goes off should such outrageous things occur. But this year of 2010, I believe his radar might need some adjustment.
The METAL TIGER can concoct all sorts of diversions and distractions, which could take our genial RABBIT for a ride. I would recommend taking up karate and or joining the gym. You will need to have your wits about you this year and a strong physical countenance could well make all the difference.
This year, try to avoid falling for false promises, pie in the sky ideas and hard luck stories. Some people are unfortunately, not what they appear to be.
We know that you believe in honour and fair play, and that you will always try to negotiate in all your actions. You are more than prepared to fight to keep what you have. But the METAL TIGER may have other ideas.
This year my RABBIT friends keep yourself in trim and prepare for a call that could transform your life. But don’t get too carried away with someone else’s grandiose idea because it is likely to lead you into bankruptcy or the divorce court.
FAMOUS RABBIT BRAD PITT
The year of the DRAGON
1940-1/1952-3/1964-5/1976-7/1988-9/2000-01/2012-13
The TIGER is your friend and you give each other kudos and pats on the back that can lead to love and marriage. Come out of hiding in 2010 DRAGON because the pathway will be clearer and easier to see this year. If you want to negotiate or create money or fiscal deals, then the TIGER will assist you. It will pour money into your coffers like its going out of fashion. It knows it needs an ally and there is no better friend than an ailing DRAGON. Together you can climb the proverbial mountaintop, but always be slightly aware, that the TIGER always expects something in return. If you are free and looking for love then this could be your perfect year to settle down with that adorably sweet cutie of a TIGER. You will live forever in comfort and bliss and the sun will forever shine in your backyard. Or at least until 2011. FAMOUS DRAGON ORLANDO BLOOM
The year of the SNAKE
1941-2/1953-4/1965-6/1977-8/1989-90/2001-2/2013-14
The METAL TIGER year really could bring you the abundance you have so longed for, even if it appears to be by default in some way.
By that I mean what starts out as a surprise or an unexpected detour, could end up being and bringing you into alignment with the right people at the right moment.
Now we know you are never one to miss an opportunity and that is your forte. However, your dedication and technical skill is being noted in certain places.
All I would say is the TIGER can convince you of many things, and at first you can be taken in by its charm. But when the light goes off and the tantrums start, you will run for the hills and protect your idea, project or concept.
As long as you check out your opposition or proposed benefactor all will be well. And I would suggest avoiding getting too close to an actual TIGER personality as you don’t really get on in the long term.
FAMOUS SNAKE PIERCE BROSNAN
The year of the HORSE
1942-3/1954-5/1966-7/1978-9/1990-91/2002-3/2014-15
Get prepared for fireworks as this METAL TIGER year is going to send intense heat into your love life.
If you have been sitting on the fence in this regard, then expect passion to be launched in your direction.
The TIGER energy is combustive when you are around and this year 2010 promises to be exactly that.
There could also be lots of travel and unexpected opportunities to take off, in both career and pleasure.
You will deal yourself in and feel good about yourself because the TIGER energy seems to somehow inspire you.
If YOU are planning to get married this year, then you are one of the few signs to actually get this energy to fit with your plans.
FAMOUS HORSE ROWAN ATKINSON
The year of the GOAT
1943-4/1955-6/1967-8/1979-80/1991-2/2003-4
My dear gentle goat, what can I say of this year of the METAL TIGER except find a place in the world where you feel safe and stay there. If you are feeling an onset of something rather upsetting before the New Chinese Year begins, I can only say, I empathise with you. You are one of the most sensitive Chinese signs, and at the same time the most intuitive, and it is probably this combination that is causing you to feel as if there is change in the air and something strange is coming. Well yes it is and its called the METAL TIGER year. It could be one long confrontation if you put yourself where you know you simply don’t fit. So pull out all the stops this year and get yourself into a retreat a monastery, a psychic development circle or a job where you are your own boss. But definitely do not line yourself up with anything METAL TIGER. By that I mean sales, marketing, media, big business or corporate executives, money, banking and government. You will ride this energy of 2010 because we need your kindness and sincerity at a time when a lot of people may feel as if they simply cannot cope.
FAMOUS GOAT STEVEN SPIELBERG
The year of the MONKEY
1944-5/1956-7/1968-9/1980-1/1992-3/2004-5
In 2010 MONKEY, you can expect to make a big difference in the world. The METAL TIGER energy may drive or force you to reconsider many aspects of your life that currently feel as if you are pushing water up hill.
What happened to that amazing sense of humour MONKEY? Where did you leave it?
Well if the above makes sense and you feel rather like a candle that is reaching the end of its wick, then rest up a little for the first two months of 2010.
Allow yourself integration time because it is important not to miss a trick. The TIGER can thwart you with complications and misunderstandings, but generally you rely on your humour to get you through. See this year as a moment in your own personal history where you get to see something coming before it happens that enables you to take a huge leap of faith in the direction of your dreams. TIGER won’t let you down but it might mislead you if you allow it too much leeway. Remember you are the brains of the outfit, not necessarily the brawn!
FAMOUS MONKEY DANIEL CRAIG
The year of the ROOSTER
1945-6/1957-8/1969-70/1981-2/1993-4/2005-6
The Proud ROOSTER is not given to giving up or withdrawing when it feels down, and believe you me it can feel down. It simply gets on with whatever work it can find and if it can’t find any work it will make some.
Now what of the TIGER year for our proud friend? I would suggest making yourself a plan that doesn’t involve getting too involved with people that you know are likely to cause you discomfort or confrontation.
You have no problem with people generally, but this year is oh so different. What starts off as an ordinary communication or discussion could lead into something quite unexpected and arguments could break out.
This METAL TIGER energy has sharp teeth, so if there is something hanging over you or worrying you that needs dialogue or debate, my advice is quite simple – get a lawyer, advocate or counsellor to deal with it for you.
Now it’s not that you can’t sort out your own problems – of course you can. But this year is oh so different. It’s like its looking for trouble with some signs. Rather than waste your precious energy and resources in bitter disputes or disagreements, employ someone to do the negotiations for you.
You have much bigger fish to fry this year ROOSTER, so try and concentrate all your efforts on precisely that.
Career and work opportunities could be extraordinary, but do read the small print.
Perhaps 2010 will be your year for breaking free and becoming just a bit of a rebel. Now that really would be a wonderful piece of magic!
FAMOUS ROOSTER GOLDIE HAWN
The year of the DOG
1946-7/1958-9/1970-1/1982-3/1994-5/2006/7
If you are already feeling as if 2010 and the year of the METAL TIGER has got you pining for life on another planet, then holdfast because I have some very interesting news for you.
It may not all be quite as ‘difficult’ as you imagine. Infact, there are possibilities for great change amongst the human race in this incredibly powerful year.
“Oh, but at what cost?” I hear you ask.
Well, surprisingly at little cost to yourself in the long run, but in the short term and at the beginning of this New Chinese Year, you could be feeling a little stretched
in every way.
The METAL TIGER energy can assist you with some very big ideas because basically, it trusts you. The problem is do you trust it? So much has been thrown at you in the last 8 months that quite frankly you are not sure who to believe or who is genuinely on your side. But do not despair because the turning point will come around 25th March.
Stand your ground if you need to but don’t let your past be your guide. The METAL TIGER represents money and financial rewards. As an ally you can be sure that you will be taken care of and provided for as you have an enormous amount of work to do in what will be a very fast-paced year.
FAMOUS DOG BILL CLINTON
The year of the PIG
1935-6/1947-8/1959-60/1971-2/1983-4/1995-6/2007-8
Don’t be afraid to stick your neck out in this glorious METAL TIGER year my PIGGIE friends. You could well and truly clean up on many levels.
The TIGER watches you from afar, in curiosity and fascination. It wants to believe in you and all you stand for and would love to be able to have your sense of quiet refinement, which it honours. So in many respects, you can kind of quietly sail through 2010, without too many hiccups.
You are not afraid to take chances, although sometimes you don’t always quite believe in the opportunities that come your way. But this year, I believe, TIGER has a few tricks up its sleeve of its own.
Expect a year of excitement and adventure. Travel is definitely available and will lead to many new exciting financial and perhaps even romantic liaisons.
Money will flow if you are open and above board. Just remember the TIGER is always watching and anything that remotely stinks of less than honest it will pick up on its radar.
Be careful with all metal objects around the home and anything that might be metal on the body. If you have lots of gold fillings or metal piercing then do take care.
