Today is the last day of the of the year of the tiger which began

on January 28 1998.The following text is taken verbatim from Theodora Lau's

Handbook of Chinese Horoscopes

 

THE YEAR OF THE TIGER

 

This is definitely an explosive year.It usually begins with a bang and ends

with a whimper.A year earmarked for war,disagreement and disasters of all

kinds.But it will also be a big,bold year .Nothing will be done on a

small,timid scale.Everything good and bad will be carried to

exremes.Fortunes can be made or lost.If you take a chance,gamble for high

stakes,but understand the odds are stacked against you.

 

People will do drastic and dramatic things on the spur of the moment.It is

not surprising that Watergate and Nixon's resignation culminated in the

hotheaded year of the tiger.Tempers will flare all around and it will be a

trying time for diplomacy.Like the tiger we will tend to charge without

thinking and end up regretting our rashness.

 

Friendships,joint ventures and deals requiring mutual trust and cooperation

made at this time are brittle and will be easily broken.However the forceful

and vigorous tiger can also be used to inject new life and vitality into

lost causes,sinking ventures and drab or failing industries.It will likewise

be a time for massive change,for the introduction of new and bold,especially

highly controversial ideas.

 

The fiery heat of the Tiger's year will no doubt touch everyone's life.In

spite of its negative aspects,we must realise that it could have a cleansing

effect.Just as extensive heat is necessary to extract precious metals from

their ores so the Tiger year can bring out the best in us.

 

Just one brief word of advice for this unpredictable year. Hang on to your

sense of humor and let things sizzle out.
