January 2010 forecast for Tiger

After the highs of the seasonal celebrations, Ox month can bring Tigers down to earth with a rather inelegant bump. Like recovering from having too much to drink or even just too much joyfulness the night before, you go through a lull before bouncing back up again. This being a Fire Ox month means it is easy to ignite a flame to warm up your Tiger passion for life. Before you know it you are ready to take charge of situations and make things happen. If you need assistance and support then the right people will turn up at the right time. Remember though not to act so independent, that you wave off helping hands that come to your aid. Greet any kind offers of help with open arms and don’t be shy about pointing out just where they are needed. You can go a lot further with others beside you than you could trying to do it all on your own. This is a worthwhile point to remember as you consider how you would like the forthcoming Tiger year to unfold for you.

Love

What is the difference between a half-truth and a lie? You tell half-truths and your other half perceives it as a lie. Or you discover a new admirer is somewhat sparse with the truth and you wonder if they routinely tell lies. Being able to distinguish what is true and what is not and everything in between is your lesson in love this month.

Career

If you want to take charge of your career for the year ahead, you can easily begin by controlling your own behaviour in the workplace. Are you always punctual and reliable? Do you stay calm at times of crisis? Play to your strengths and address any shortcomings and you are already heading in the right direction.

Money

It can be tempting to hit the shops to lift your mood. The short-term gratification from acquiring a new worldly possession could easily be outweighed by longer term implications of going beyond your budget. By all means treat yourself a little but refrain from pushing your credit limits.
