Happy-go-lucky and overtly sexual, you are positive and fun to be around. One of the most sensual signs, you love beauty in all its forms. You aren’t massively demanding and accept the cards you’ve been dealt. You have the capacity to endure all kinds of hardships admirably with a smile on your face. But this can take its toll and you are prone to emotional outbursts that seem to come from nowhere, ill health and paranoia. Peaceful and sensitive, you can come across as passive or shy, but that goes away when you display your highly developed creative abilities.

Suitable careers: dancers, directors, designers, management, psychologists.

Your fortunes in 2010
Celebrations and general merriment may start your year positively and this can continue if you manage to maintain your focus on the gifts the universe offers you. These gifts will be constant in the year of the Tiger, but whether you will recognise them is another story. The Tiger shares your trait of indulging in occasional bouts of melancholic self pity even though you both know it is unhelpful and destructive. Try to channel your overflow of emotion into creative expressions instead. A significant period of this year may be spent in meditation or spiritual pursuits where you may remove yourself from general society in some way. It is time for you to replenish your energy and recuperate in every sense. Be conservative with your money management this year and nurture yourself lovingly.
