Flirty, flamboyant and colourful, you tell it like it is and expect it the way you like it. With high expectations of yourself and of others, some find you hyper-critical and insensitive when you are genuinely trying to help. Not everybody is capable of adopting your work ethic. Vain and talkative, roosters have a reputation for being self-obsessed. Once again, misunderstood, this is one of the most sensitive signs, you wear a heavy mask to protect your ego from scrutiny, so in order to project confidence you talk, and talk and talk. Efficient, alert and effective, you can be highly organised and your mind is like a dictionary.

Suitable careers: anything requiring detailed, specific knowledge, quirky art designers, medicine, science, accountants, beauticians.

Your Fortunes in 2010
The year of the Tiger is a karmic year for you; that which you do and the intentions which you set forth will come back to you in the equal measure in which you sent them out. It is likely to be a busy year where you may struggle to keep up but also one that taxes your emotional store. Some sort of separation may cause you some difficulty but it will come to a natural end and a brighter phase will begin. It could be time to make a decision weighing up both sides of the argument using compassionate understanding. Take your responsibilities seriously as your decisions will have important consequences for you and others. Possibly finding yourself in a lose-lose situation, expect some negative reviews. On the bright side, you are likely to be lucky with money.
