In his planning, he should discuss his ideas with those close to him. This way not only will he be better able to gauge their reaction but his initial ideas can often broaden out as well as get underway. This is a year favouring concerted action. Projects could include neatening and refreshing certain rooms as well as adding new comforts. As they are started, they will have a tendency to mushroom and become more wide-ranging.
As well as practical improvements, the Metal Tiger can look forward to some special moments in his home life. Celebrations are possible, and whether these involve a wedding, birth, graduation or the career success of someone close, there will be reason for the Metal Tiger to feel justifiably proud. There will also be ways in which he can assist, either with arrangements or advice. In some instances, his expertise will be especially pertinent.
Another positive factor will be the mutual support seen in many a Metal Tiger’s household. He himself will benefit from the guidance of others, particularly with some purchasing choices. Similarly, when problems arise (as they do in any year), it is important they are fully aired and opinions sought. If particularly complex, it may be worth the Metal Tiger seeking professional guidance or contacting a helpline.
June, August and September could see pleasing domestic developments, although there will be a lot to appreciate throughout the year.
Travel is also strongly indicated, and Metal Tigers who have family and friends living some distance away should take up any chances to visit them. Similarly, if able, the Metal Tiger should plan a holiday over the year. By choosing his destination with care, he will be able to fit in a surprising amount as well as see new sights and enjoy new thrills.
For Metal Tigers in work, the Rooster year will be one of decision. While some of these Metal Tigers will continue to make good use of their experience, others could decide to reduce their commitments or retire. Such transitions may not initially be easy, but by making the most of their opportunities (including any additional time now available), these Metal Tigers will quickly come to embrace what opens up for them. The Metal Tiger has an enquiring nature and invariably new ideas and possibilities will occur to him.
This will especially be the case with his interests. While he will continue to enjoy the pursuits he has followed for many years, he may also decide to experiment with new approaches or teach himself a new skill. Metal Tigers enjoy challenge and mental stimulation, and this Rooster year will bring a variety of ideas and opportunities their way. The Metal Tiger may also be inspired by contact with other enthusiasts and could find it worth joining a local club, society or class.
He could also enjoy some financial good fortune, perhaps through receiving a bonus or gift or seeing the fruition of a policy. A lucky few may even enjoy a competition win. However, while the aspects are favourable, the Metal Tiger will rarely be short of spending ideas. To get the best value from his purchases, he needs to take the time to check his requirements are being met and compare options and costs. The greater care, the better. He should also ensure he keeps paperwork safe and is thorough when completing forms. A loss or mistake could result in protracted correspondence. Metal Tigers, take note.
Socially, there will be quite a few convivial occasions for the Metal Tiger to look forward to over the year, with February, June, September and December seeing a lot of activity. While a lot will go well, should a difference of opinion arise or an issue concern the Metal Tiger, he will need to tread warily. Without care, something which starts in a minor way could become awkward. Also, if another person has reservations about one of his ideas, he should listen. There could be reasons for this which he may not have fully taken on board. Metal Tigers, take note and be mindful of others.
In general, the Year of the Rooster can be a constructive one for the Metal Tiger. He can accomplish a great deal and enjoy the benefits and good times that follow on. He can also look forward to a certain amount of luck this year and circumstances will often assist in what he sets out to do. Travel, too, can bring considerable pleasure, as can family news and projects. It is a year to join forces with others rather than act too independently, but overall it is a good one for the Metal Tiger, with many plans developing in encouraging ways.
Tip for the Year
Take action. With your ideas and sense of purpose, together with the support you enjoy, a lot can happen for you. But be sure to consult others and pay attention to their views.
The Water Tiger
The Water Tiger is thoughtful, forward looking and open-minded. And as the Rooster year starts, he will feel more energized than of late. For Water Tigers who have considered their recent progress lacklustre or who want to pursue certain ambitions, this is a year for concerted action.
For many Water Tigers, their aspirations will be work-related. Having proved themselves in their current capacity, these Water Tigers will be keen to take on new challenges. And this year circumstances can assist them. In some cases senior colleagues will move on, creating ideal promotion opportunities, and in others more specialist positions will need to be filled. Over the year many Water Tigers will have the chance to advance their career.
For those who feel prospects are limited where they are, as well as those seeking work, the Rooster year can present some interesting possibilities. However, the Water Tiger will need to take the initiative, including making direct contact with prospective employers and seeking advice from professional organizations as well as talking to others. Whether by word of mouth or a more formal enquiry, he can, with persistence, find new ways forward. His drive and enthusiasm can be used to telling effect this year. March, May, August and November will see encouraging developments.
In addition to furthering professional knowledge, this is also a year favouring personal development. If there is a subject that intrigues the Water Tiger, a skill he wants to learn or a pursuit he is considering taking up, this is the ideal time to do it.
Quite a few Water Tigers will also give some thought to their lifestyle. Those who lead a pressured existence may make a conscious decision to set more time aside for themselves and their family. Some may also consider taking more exercise, improving their diet and setting aside time for recreation. Many benefits can follow on from actions taken this year.
The encouraging aspects also extend to money matters. Many Water Tigers will enjoy a rise in income and possibly also receive something extra. However, the Water Tiger will still need to manage his outgoings carefully and consider and cost his purchases rather than rush.
With this being an excellent year for travel, he would do well to make provision for a holiday or aim to enjoy a few days away every so often. Visits to friends and relatives living some distance away could appeal.
The element of water strengthens a sign’s effectiveness as a communicator and this is especially true of the Tiger. The Water Tiger has a good way with words and is able to empathize with many people. Over the year his skills will be in demand, with several friends seeking his advice over what could be difficult matters. Here the Water Tiger’s understanding can be meaningful and pertinent. February, June, September and December could see the most social activity and give the Water Tiger the chance to extend his social circle.
However, while much will go well, no year is ever without its troubling moments and in this one the Water Tiger could become concerned by a friendship issue. This could stem from a difference of opinion or someone’s changing attitude. When the Water Tiger detects a potential difficulty, he needs to tread carefully. Here his perceptive nature will be of great value.
Domestically, the Water Tiger will often have ideas he is keen to pursue. Whether updating appliances, freshening up certain areas or, if he has a garden, adding new stock, he will relish implementing improvements. At times his home will be abuzz with activity. He does, however, need to be realistic with timescales and focus on specific undertakings rather than overcommit himself. With such a lot happening, there will inevitably be fraught moments, but with care and consideration these will be minimal and
