In Chinese astrology there are twelve animal signs
and five elements. The year of the Metal Tiger
begins February 14, 2010, and ends February 2, 2011.
This powerful combination promises that 2010 will be
anything but dull!
Under this influence, gentle souls will enjoy extra
self-confidence, and adventurous types can be especially
outgoing and brave. Tiger energy contributes a welcome
dash of excitement and promise to a world that has been
buffeted by change.
People usually feel more determined and stubborn under the influence of metal. This energy must be handled with care. Knives, made of metal, demonstrate both the capacity to injure or to heal when skillfully used. It is especially important this year to avoid sudden, impulsive choices.
For
Rats, this year will be similar to a rafting trip through white water rapids. Happiness will be found in simplicity, and ambitious Rats must make every effort to go with the flow if they do not want periodic cases of "nerves."
