General Forecast for the Year of the Metal TIGER
There will be more to celebrate on February 14, 2010 than usual. Of course, the rhythms and melodies of romance will fill the air on this day of love. Apart from that, Valentine's Day 2010 ushers in the Chinese New Year. The Year of the Metal Tiger will run from February 14, 2010 until February 2, 2011. For convenience's sake, I will be using 2010 and the Year of the Metal Tiger interchangeably. 2010 looks to be an auspicious year as the #8 Wealth Star flies to the center, affecting all. This much coveted star considered the luckiest star than can be present. Promises of fortune and prosperity may be around the corner. With the passage of time, there may be a growth in assets. It could be a lucky year for those involved in business. It may be the best time for you to start a business. Of course, 2010 is not the time to be complacent and to slack off. It is possible that money may come by more easily but do not expect it to just flow to you just like water from a gushing faucet. Your resourcefulness and efforts will still have a key role. Catch opportunities while you can but do not take careless risks. The #8 wealth star is linked with nobility. Luck may work to create progress in one's career. Do not be too shocked if you experience significant accomplishment in your career. You may advance to a higher level at work or end up with an increase in your paycheck.All in all, the #8 Wealth Star bring luck but you still have to consider your own animal signs for your own detailed and more individualized forecasts. 2010 appears to be a year for politicians and business looks to be good due to the upcoming elections. However, the Southwest is afflicted in 2010. This in turn will affect love and marriage luck. It is possible for those who have been together for years and years to separate. Be tough and hold on to each other. Make sure that your toilet is not located in the Southwest so you do not flush out your love and marriage luck. Career luck may also be negatively affected with the Three Killings taking up residence in the North. In 2009, career luck was affected and problems may continue but they will not be as bad in 2010. In the light of the global crisis, it may pay to activate the north for luck when it comes to jobs. You may want to place the Celestial Guardians or waterfalls. For 2010, avoid facing the southwest at home and in the office. Do not begin or end renovations in the southwest either. This is believed to invite bad luck due to the presence of the Grand Duke Jupiter. Avoiding these things will keep you from absorbing negative energy. Because of their compass directions, monkeys and goats must beware during the Year of the Tiger. With the year 2010 being the Year of the Metal Tiger, things are looking up for businesses related to the metal and earth elements. Businesses linked with metal include jewelry, engineering, computers, and cars. Those linked with earth include construction, real estate and mining. It seems that challenges will abound for those in fields involving water and fire, which conflict with metal in the cycle of elements. Prospects in water businesses and restaurants and the like appear unfavorable.

2010 Forecast for the Rat

Luck has been dealing you various kinds of cards over the past few years. Luck favored you two years ago as the #6 Heaven Star moved in your direction. Then it took a major turn for the worse when the five killings flew to your corner last year. You may have had it tough but you have also emerged stronger from all of the misfortunes that you have both battled and survived. Things may still not be ideal for you in 2010 but it seems that you might be able to take a breather as luck eases up on you this year. Instead of the five killings, you will have the three killings to contend with. This is an annual affliction that is though to bring 3 types of misfortunes such as relationships, illnesses, lawsuits and bankruptcy. Be on the lookout for the #4 Romance Star. Don't be too surprised if you discover that love is in the air. Hmmm, maybe it's not such a coincidence that the Chinese New Year falls on February 14, which is also Valentine's Day�This is definitely no year for singles to take refuge and hide out from the larger world out there. How can Cupid's bow hit you when you're out of sight? For those who are currently attached, be on guard against infidelity. Affairs may beckon but cheating involves a major betrayal of trust, which may never be recovered again. If you're a student, putting extra effort into your studies may reap great rewards this year. If you have a literary bent, don't let opportunities slip by. This may be your lucky year in the field. To guard against temptation, Rats can place Mandarin Ducks, a sign of marital fidelity, or a picture of a happy couple in the northeast.

2010 Forecast for the Ox

Over the last few years, it seems that your luck has revolved around the people you find yourself encountering in life. Two years ago, your life was interesting because of the influx of love and romance. Then last year, relationship concerns cropped up as you experienced conflicts and arguments with other people. This year, it seems that your well-being will be of major concern. No matter how busy you are, do not neglect your physical health. It seems that you are more prone to illnesses this year. You may also be more vulnerable to accidents or confinements in the hospital this year. If it has been a while since you have had your last check-up considering visiting your doctor. As for daredevil stunts, think twice --or thrice or even more times�about attempting them. You are only gifted with one body during your entire life. Respect your body. Take care of yourself. Honor the body that you have.

2010 Forecast for the Tiger

Relationships have taken the forefront in your life over the past couple of years. In 2007, Cupid brought out his bow-and-arrow and struck your heart. Then in 2008, it was quite the opposite. You had lots of interpersonal difficulties and arguments became a regular occurrence for you. For 2010, it seems that your health will take center stage. This year you may find yourself being more prone to accidents or sickness. Thrill-seeking activities and journeys to exotic but isolated places may not be the best ideas right now. Take an inventory of your daily habits. Make sure that you eat nutritious meals regularly. Get sufficient sleep. Incorporate exercise into your routine. Manage your stress levels. Visit your doctor if it has been quite a while since you've last had your medical checkup. Who wants to find themselves so sick that they are confined in a hospital? Only you can decide to take care of yourself. Great health is not achieved overnight. It is a gradual process. How about beginning to take the first steps now? Those born in the year of the Tiger may be interested in getting themselves the holy gourd or the Medicine Buddha for good health and to avoid confinement.

2010 Forecast for the Rabbit

The luck that you have experienced has varied through these last few years. Two years ago, things seemed incredibly rosy when the #8 Wealth Star graced your direction. Then luck had a major reversal last year as both the #7 Violence Star and the 3 Killings moved in your corner. Fortunately, all these major tribulations from 2009 look to be a thing of the past as 2010 ushers in the auspicious #6 Heaven Star. You might find yourself experiencing an unexpected windfall. Take advantage of opportunities as they come your way. You may find yourself getting ahead due to the help of others. Goodwill from others may prove to be very valuable. Always remember that no one is able to achieve all their aspirations on their own steam. People around you will have a significant contribution to where you find yourself. Last year, when things were difficult you may have had some people who were caring and generous enough to help you. Consider returning the favor this year. Lend a hand to those in need.
