Tiger

This is, of course, your year! There will be a sprinkling of magic to 2010 for you but don’t set your goals too high and don’t expect things to land in your lap.

Dragon
1940 1952 1964 1976 1988 2000
In many ways, you’ll enjoy the fast and furious pace of 2010. You’re familiar with Tiger energy as its sense of adventure is similar to your own. Lots of wild times are ahead for you with the chance to bag yourself a massive career boost. Relationships can be tempestuous though, especially if you aren’t sensitive enough. Take time to look after the emotional needs of others and you should have a memorable 2010.
Snake
1941 1953 1965 1977 1989 2001
This year will be as positive as you are flexible! If you’re stubborn or snake headed you might find that you’ve pogo sticked into limbo. You’ll be tempted to say no when you should say yes. The gift of Tiger is to stretch you and to allow you to embrace flexibility. Be rigid at your peril in 2010. You might find a romance or love affair with someone very different or unusual. Get excited about diversity rather than judge or fight it. The more creative and open you are, the better it will be.
Horse
1942 1954 1966 1978 1990 2002
Yeah Baby – you should love this year. Trotting alongside Tiger energy is brilliant for you. You love the thrill and buzz of a Tiger year and chuck yourself in with wild abandon! Business opportunities and a vivid love life make this an exceptional year. The only downside is that you might not have time to look after yourself properly. Pay particular attention to your health and well being. Balance what you eat and don’t ignore your body.
Goat
1943 1955 1967 1979 1991 2003
This will be an interesting year for you, as long as you’re prepared to rise to the challenge! You’re free to make all sorts of choices and the main guidance is to choose well! Temptation fascinates you. You may be drawn towards getting involved in a scandal or love triangle. Follow your heart and act when the time is right.
Monkey
1944 1956 1968 1980 1992 2004
Naughty monkeys need to watch their step in 2010. Tiger does not like to be messed around and Monkey playing the trickster will not work out. Be more honest than usual, avoid getting involved in any secrets or anything dodgy or you could be found out. Your gift this year is to speak your truth. Turbulent, passionate and exciting, 2010 offers you a host of experience only if you’re a good little monkey!
Rooster
1945 1957 1969 1981 1993 2005
2010 offers a bit of a challenge for you. People are quite demanding this year and want you to honour all commitments, promises and work responsibilities to the letter. You can’t get away with leaving things half done. Life is putting you under the microscope and tests all your abilities. Actually, the gift of this is that you will step up and walk the extra mile. Don’t exaggerate, but under play your achievements. Then people can appreciate you for who you are.
Dog
1946 1958 1970 1982 1994,2006
Probably the best year for you than for all of the other signs put together! You’ve got the chance to shine and dazzle this year. 2010 increases your profile and gives you a power boost. Get cosmic ordering as what you want to attract could come extra quickly. Love is gorgeous and sexy, people just want to be around your presence and great things can be achieved. Enjoy!
Pig
1947 1959 1971 1983 1995 2007
You ease into the year slowly but with a sense of relief. After a year of change you are standing on solid ground. Finances should be strong as you build firm foundations. Love needs small and delicate steps and no rash promises. You might still be working on letting go of someone from the past. You feel sentimental and could consider going backwards.
