Horoscope Forecast for 2009 : TIGER

Forecast for the Tiger

The Coming Year: There won't be much time for fun and games in the Year of the Earth Ox. Instead, you'll be continually forced to prove yourself to friends, employers and relatives. Assuming more responsibility will open the door for bigger and better things in 2010. The secret to your success will be sticking to a schedule, and although you hate being hemmed in like this, you will gain some valuable skills along the way. Being able to deliver excellent work on schedule will cause your reputation to soar, and increase the appreciation of your loved ones.

Practicing humility is also important in 2009, which won't be easy for a prideful animal like you. An unassuming person could turn out to be a respected authority in their field. By playing second banana to this person, you can acquire some valuable skills of your own. Keep warm during the winter months, as you could be vulnerable to colds, flus and other viruses. Vitamins, nourishing food, regular exercise and adequate sleep will boost your immune system. Before you throw your paws up in despair, keep in mind that Ox years bestow tremendous creativity on Tigers. If you're ever going to write that novel, shoot that film or record that album, this is the year to do so!

Love: If you're going to experience happiness in your love life, you'll need to manage your temper. The Year of the Earth Ox emphasizes patience, which is not really your strong suit. Nevertheless, if you learn how to put your needs aside for the sake of your partner, you'll go a long way toward forging a happy relationship. Getting counseling may be a good move for you, especially if you have trouble coming to terms with anger issues that have dogged you since childhood.

If you're single, it may be best to play the field this year. You'll have an interesting array of suitors between February and July. Treat this period as an opportunity to experiment with all different kinds of relationships. By the time 2010 rolls around, you'll be ready to make a serious commitment.

Finances: It's time to take control of your finances. The Earth Ox year demands that you pay off debts, or at least pare them down. If you're in serious trouble, contact a credit management agency to consolidate your loans and reduce your interest rate. The lavish lifestyle you enjoy will have to be scaled back in 2009.

As far as work is concerned, you will need to apply yourself to make money. When given a choice between getting a flat salary and earning a commission, choose the latter. You will be especially successful if your career involves entertainment, hospitality or medicine. Alternately, you could yield impressive profits in menswear. It may be necessary to deal with a bossy authority figure this year, but resist the temptation to quit; you won't be in the driver's seat in 2009. Contact sports can provide an outlet for your career frustrations.
