Highly attractive and highly sexed with a massive need for attention. You strut about wearing the face of an all powerful predator yet in private, you suffer with extreme insecurity. Extroverted and captivating, you know how to allure your prey. Moving from one self-induced drama to the next, you spend your time in the midst of activity. You never stop, even when you should, but lucky for you, you have an abundance of energy to call upon. You also hold strong social and political beliefs for which you’re not afraid to fight. Tigers have big, bold audacious personalities, even the quieter ones and like adrenaline pumping activities. Interestingly, many tigers have a severe fear of growing old and of death.

Suitable careers: musicians, singer-songwriters, lawyers, dancers, sports, teachers, journalists, politicians, PR workers, military positions, and jobs within science and technology.

Your fortunes in 2008
A significant obstacle is removed from your path in the early part of 2008 however this does not give you the right to run wild. Consider the effect your actions have on others and try to tame your ego. It may not be the best year to make risky investments or set unrealistic goals. Self-delusion rarely pays off in the year of the rat. It is wiser to save your money for the future, think carefully about commitments and avoid impulsive behaviour. Although it looks like money is flowing in from all sides, it is unlikely to last and expecting it to is immature. Planning ahead, keeping your own counsel and concentrating on your previous successes keeps you moving along productively. A slow yet eventful year lay in store where you will be challenged and pushed to advance. Your successes may equal your disappointments but you will emerge stronger and more powerful than before.

Your fortunes in 2007
You may have met many influential people last year and have organised some mutually beneficial arrangements that may have paid off. Because of this, you may be tempted to continue in this vein and this is where you must be careful. Check the details, fine print and people attached before committing especially if it looks too good to be true. If it all looks kosher, then proceed with every ounce of your energy because financial gains can be huge this year as long as you adopt a business outlook as well as a creative one.
