All Tiger years are turbulent. Political unrest, coups d'états, and catastrophes may strike during these action-packed years. On the other hand, for many, Tiger years represent luck incarnate. Tigers are lucky beasts. Keeping a Tiger person close by or in your very home will protect you from fire and theft.

This year prudence is advised in all new undertakings. During a Tiger year, nobody should leap before he examines either venture or adventure. The Tiger, though noble and honorable, endows his years with uncertainty. He tends to court danger and espouse change. Tigers never know where they might pounce next.  In Tiger years, from time to time the the rest of us to face head-on collisions with our own enemies. When we least expect that calamity, it surges out of nowhere. Much strength may be required of us during these testy times. Best way to deal is not to anticipate disorder or worry about what might happen next. Prepare for the worst. But think positively.

Two of Metal’s main emotional forces are melancholy and romance. I see Metal as Wagnerian. Metal people must guard against a tendency to wallow in nostalgia. A certain murky gloom can permeate the atmosphere in Metal Tiger years. We must remain optimistic and perceive adversity as challenge. These years, rife with sudden modifications and reforms of the status quo are salutary for people who know how to hold their own in unpredictable situations, calamity and upset. For those who panic or are squeamish about altering old habits or modfiying their approach, Metal Tiger years can be plenty disruptive.

Advice?  WATCH YOUR STEP.  You must eye exactly the spot where you plan to place your best foot forward in Tiger years. Stay alert to your own foibles and monitor impulsive gestures. Be tactful. Play it safe if you must.  But don't denigrate those who don't. Above all, keep a cool head in the face of unsettling events. Brother-in-law walks off with the family jewels? Storms hit your area causing blackouts, floods and property damage? Kids fall ill at school and you can't reach them in a blizzard? Neighbors dig up your trees and replant them on their property? A thief tries to enter through the bathroom window while you're in the shower?

All manner of surprising events and harrowing moments will pepper your upcoming Tiger year. Pretend you're on a roller coaster. Hang on tight and enjoy the ride.

If you adore surprises and thrive on revolutionary ideals, this turbulent year promises to be fun and games. For those of you who long for everything to  remain as it always was: comfy, cozy and warm enough for your taste, fasten your seat belts and get ready to encounter some dicey moments ahead.

(Find Your Chinese Sign Here)

RAT 2010, The METAL Tiger Year:The general climate of instability engendered by this Tigerish time is not your favorite. You are a security-seeker, a protector of your home and family and you like to be in control. You may even dream one day to exert power over your own destiny. The Tiger? He (or she) could not care less for security or safety. In fact, despite his natural leadership qualities, the Tiger does not actively seek power over others. So the tenuous atmosphere created in this changeable year promises to de-stabilize you and keep you very much more on your toes than most. If only you knew what to expect, it wouldn’t affect you so thunderously. But in Tiger years nobody quite knows what’s around the next corner. So my advice to you Rats is to roll with the punches. Don’t make waves. Keep a low profile, all the time managing to steer things your way. If you play your cards close to the vest, your Tiger year can turn out to be a giant success. If however, you flaunt the power-hungry side of your character, you may not fare so well.  

 OX 2010, The METAL Tiger Year : Lie low Oxen. Avoid the fray. Don’t get caught up in the Tiger’s frenetic pace or you may lose your sense of direction and feel your brain turning to cooked cabbage. Tigers move far too quickly for your taste. Tiger years pick up speed right from the jump. By this time, with the stability of the Ox year behind it, the world itself feels the need to go thrashing about seeking novelty and excitement. Thrashing and hunting are not at all what you Oxen are about. You like to till and toil and build and improve. And you like to do it all at your own sweet deliberate pace. Tigers? They get a lot done too. But in a very short time so they can move on to newer, more instantly satisfying chores. Not your style. Stay at home by the fire in your lovely new castle with that kindly ally of yours – the significant other of your dreams who will stick by you no matter how slowly you progress. Take time to concentrate on gaining the advantage over your enemies this year. Be wise. Strategize.

 TIGER 2010, The METAL Tiger Year :  After a couple of slow, but not disastrous years, you will take wing and soar over all you survey. I have mentioned several times that Oxen often become dictators. But curious as it may seem, so do Tigers. The style is different. But the aim is the same. Tigers like to imagine themselves the saviours of a people for a cause (Ho Chi Min, Ayatollah Khomeini, Castro) whereas Oxen might just take over because they want to take over. (Idi Amin, Saddam Hussein, Napoleon). So this is your year to rule. You will no doubt adore the power, but you probably will not abuse it as you will be using your superior position to further an ideal – something you are proud of and wish to impart to others. If, however, you let the notion of power for its own sake take over, you will have a dreadful Tiger year. Do also remember that this year you must plan the next 12 years of your existence. Don’t let the months slip by without sitting down with yourself somewhere quiet (countryside, retreat, mountain top etc.) and thinking hard about where you want to be in 12 years. Then decide how you want and need to behave in order to reach that goal. A dozen years may seem like a long time. But life is shorter than we think and those who plan well ahead and stick to their timetables are those who live longest happiest.

 CAT/RABBIT 2010, The METAL Tiger Year: Tiger years are full of hasty rash movesand risky changes of direction. In the early part of the year, you might still be reeling from what the last couple of adverse years have done to your gentle spirit. Once you are back up on your bunny feet and feeling hippity hop tip top, you will be pleasantly surprised at how clement, easygoing and devil-may-care the atmosphere is in this Tiger year. Many of the major events happening this year will affect you directly. A person or people whom you didn’t know till now will approach you at several different times for your assistance or engagement in their projects. Remember. You work best with Pigs and Goats. Whatever you do, don’t take up with a headstrong Horse or a daring Dragon. Their very style abrades your delicate nervous system. By year’s end you should be feeling terrific and perhaps even a bit sentimental. Why not spend some quality time with old friends from school or grab your mom or dad and hie them off somewhere exotic where you can stroll along a beach and learn more about your childhood. Health looks relatively good this year for Cat/Rabbit people. Keep to your diet and exercise routine or you will spend the better part of next year getting rid of excess weight.

 DRAGON 2010, The METAL Tiger Year : There are a number of things about your character which irk the tawny Tiger. First of all, he abhors snobbism and name-dropping. The Tiger finds your causal boastfulness about the famous Who’s Who person you saw at the fancy restaurant or which celebrated author gave you her estimable autograph or who you sat next to at the Academy Awards irritating. Big talkers’ words fall on his deafest ear. Tigers don’t care much about celebrity and deplore pretensions of all variety. So no matter if the Pope comes to your funeral, don’t do any bragging or trying to impress us during this Tiger year. Same holds true for tearful displays of sentimentality. Can that tendency of yours to want to steal every show. This can be a bang-up year for you financially. All new and unusual projects are favored. The Tiger is your ally. He admires your spunky spirit and your words of sane advice are always welcome. So long as you don’t spout any flames through her bedroom window or steal his sweetheart with those seductive swishings of your scaly tail this year, the Tiger will encourage all of your pursuits and applaud most vigorously when you succeed. Be as subtle as you know how. And don’t show off. Tigers hate braggarts.

SNAKE 2010, The METAL Tiger Year : The Tiger wishes you only the best.His influence however is another pair of socks altogether. Tigers have a reputation for prowling low in the jungles of the world late at night stalking their prey. This animal portrait does not quite fit the profile of the restless Tiger person. Tiger people are active in the extreme. They leap and bound and carreen about searching for new and different experiences. They adore change and prefer that it happen in a hurry. You Snakes prefer to languish in silken repose on chaises longues reading novels with dense, sinuous plots, expansive detailed geographies and complex dramatis personnae. Let’s just say your styles are different. And your goals are not the same either. You ant to reflect and philosophize. Tigers act first and think second. Because of their immense charm, Tigers are frequently chosen to lead. But they rarely lead far without the sage advice of someone like you. How could they? They have change for brains – loose change at that. So this Tiger year will be a challenge for Snakes. You will be called upon to counsel friends and foes alike. You will be in charge of wisdom. Small accidents and tiny setbacks will annoy you. But you are not in danger. In the hands of a Tiger, a Snake can feel a certain thrill. But don’t look for security this year cuz there isn’t any to spare.

HORSE 2010, The METAL Tiger Year :You are in for some major alterations in everything from the romantic picture to your actual lifestyle. Tigers require change. It’s in their genes. Horses and Tigers are the best of cronies. In the Tiger year, you will feel free to be entirely yourself. The real you. The headstrong, feisty, talented, outspoken you.  Tigers don’t mind facing down your strong will. They, in fact, approve of how Horses manage their lives and are themselves terminally independent and free-spirited. What you do have to look out for in Tiger years is being drawn into crazy schemes, urged to take zany jaunts to far out destinations or dragged into nutty real estate projects without a backward (or forward) glance. Be cautious of feeling too free. Avoid taking off for some Cloud Cuckooland whence you will not be welcomed upon your return. You might instead be severely criticized for being irresponsible as Tigers tend to encourage loonies to be loonier. Snoop around in your own garden this year. If you do, you will be pleasantly surprised to find that in your immediate surroundings lurks a surprise love interest. Someone you have known for awhile will suddenly take a shine to you. Don’t back away. This could be The One.

GOAT 2010, The METAL Tiger Year : Keeping pace with Tigers is nobody’s favorite sport. Tigers leap and bound and pounce and nomad about like so many grasshoppers on crystal methamphetamine – and they always come up smelling like a rose. If it were only the pace that the Goat can’t keep up, that would be one thing. But fact is, the Tiger also has outlandish ambition and drive to succeed. Goats cannot – and will not – try to keep up. So when it’s the Tiger’s turn to rule the world, the Goat pretty much goes into hibernation or else pretends to admire the hectic chaos and applauds the innumerable curtain calls without much conviction. Either way, Goats and Tigers often clash. They not only don’t have the same way of going about things, they disagree on what outcomes they want to achieve. These disagreements don’t mean that the Tiger doesn’t want you to succeed. Basically, Tigers don’t care if you make it or you don’t – as long as you are not holding them up. So in Tiger years, I suggest that Goats work and play as much as possible on their own. Go on solitary walks. Paint pictures. Write a book or sculpt a sculpture. But stay out of the Tiger melee. You were not made for co-existence with this hasty beast. Use this year to build your own career or your own house or to learn to cook or to sew or knit or crochet or do judo or yoga. But do not try to compete in the big bad world in the Tiger year.

MONKEY 2010, The METAL Tiger Year : The Tiger always welcomes the appearance of a Monkey in his midst. But not consistently and not for long. In Chinese astrology, Monkeys and Tigers are traditionally enemies. In practice however, Tigers befriend Monkeys and vice versa. However, what Tigers don’t tell us is that they often welcome the company of Monkeys because Monkeys can solve problems that they cannot. Tigers enjoy Monkey humor and are somewhat entertained by their antics. But the real reason that you Monkeys will not tread a bumpy path this year is that the Tiger finds you useful. A business question? A travel predicament? Lost luggage? Lost love? Lost jobs? Dial-a-Monkey . . . which is precisely what the Tiger year will do to you. You will be called upon to advise and counsel others throughout this busy Tiger year. People may wake you in the middle of the night just to check your position on their church picnic for next month. How should Tracey approach Nancy on the hard boiled eggs question? Who should cook the hot dogs? What sort of games are safest for the children? Any old problem is fodder for the Monkey’s agile brain. And people catch on fast that you can fix things for them. So you will be solicited and respected for your opinions in this Tiger year. But you may not get married, get rich or live out some great passion this year because there just isn’t time.

ROOSTER 2010, The METAL Tiger Year : For Roosters, the Tiger can be a pal and even a chum. But Tigers move around a lot and they move rapidly. Roosters are hardly slowpokes; but they will have a devil of a time keeping up with Tiger cronies this year. Of course you can’t back out now so the slickest tactic will be to put on your skates and speed up or else risk losses – both financial and personal. It isn’t only the breakneck pace that befuddles Roosters in Tiger years. It’s also the multiplicity of changes imposed on them by the unpredictable tawny beast. Roosters are schedule people who enjoy structure and cleave to order. Moreover, Roosters require a modicum of comfort. They may appear audacious and seem to be able to adapt quickly. But in fact, although they often love to journey to and tour distant lands, Rooster born people are downright conservative in their travel choices. You won’t find many Rooster people hiking with backpacks in Patagonia or riding a bicycle a thousand miles through rugged terrain to help stamp out poverty. But Tigers fancy adventures both elegant and rough and, if they get the bug for a cause, they can and will walk across the thousand miles of rock and river to help stamp out poverty. So this year Roosters should be prepared to accept changes in routine, upheaval at work and at homeand setbacks both big and small. Keep up the cadence and you win. Slow down and you will be out run by Tiger competitors of every stripe.

DOG 2010, The METAL Tiger Year : Dog people bask in Tiger years. Your money luck is good, the sun shines on your family and your heart throbs apace. Tigers and Dogs are sisters under the skin. You two agree on so may things that it’s impossible to mention them all. But what is most salient about the character of your friendship is that you both seek to change the world. The Tiger, in his or her own way, blasts through barriers and carries banners high whilst you fret and worry that the cops will succeed in repelling the demonstration and perhaps even maim or kill someone in the process. You are the worrier. Tiger is the warrior. Tigers, (God love ‘em) are afraid of nothing. They espouse change, run after it and then roll around in it as though attempting to remove their stripes. But you can’t do that. You are too afraid that something awful will happen. This year, put yourself in the capable, fearless paws of the Tiger. You will thrive and so will your loved ones. In return for his or her favors, you can be cautious for the Tiger. As the impetuous Tiger leads you into battle, remember to whisper that confidentially you, as his faithful lieutenant, do not think it wise to be exposing one’s self without bullet-proof vests. Tigers may listen and heed your counsel. And then again they may not. What you have to watch out for? Your natural penchant for paranoia.

PIG 2010, The METAL Tiger Year : The Tiger has a tendency to irk Pigs. You two get on well enough. But there are not a plethora of intimate friendships among you. Why? Well you have different energies and different goals in life. You Pigs thrive on culture, authenticity, purity and the joys of Mother Nature. Tigers prosper in the presence of movement, excitement, novelty and change. Whilst the Pig might sit all morning in a museum in New York City scrutinizing a single painting by Rembrandt; the Tiger would stride through the room where the Rembrandts hang, give each one a minute’s stare and move on to the Picasso room. Tigers are impatient to get on with things. Pigs are content to relish the best things in life and revel in its pleasures. So although this Tiger year doesn’t bode any ill for you Pigs. The frenetic pace and frantic haste at which everything is accomplished raises your bristles. My suggestion for Pig happiness in Tiger years is travel. This is the year for you to get moving. Go see all those museums you have been dreaming about. Visit those splendid temples in India and Viet Nam and Cambodia and Thailand. And while you’re at it, hie yourself and your newfound sweetheart to someplace green and lush and warm where one of you can pop the crucial question. As we head into the peaceful Cat/ Rabbit year, it’s time for Pigs to settle down.
