The Chinese New Year starts today, and as a Tiger, I’m very pleased to know it's also the Year of the Tiger. I'm not sure if this is good news or not for Tigers. So I did a bit of surfing and decided to go the optimistic path - a classic Tiger trait - and pretend this fortune wil be true in 2010.

"Being Tiger's own year, 2010 holds great promise for those born under this sign, with exciting developments happening for them both personally and professionally. Some Tigers may be feeling disappointed and disheartened after 2009 and it will be important to leave the past behind and concentrate on the future, which is looking so bright!

Financially, everything improves this year for those born under this sign and money-making thoughts and ideas should be fully explored and investigated, With the fast pace of this year for all signs, Tiger needs to take extra care in planning and thinking all projects through - no rushing headlong into schemes during 2010!

Tigers looking for romance will possibly see a friendship suddenly develop into something more personal with exciting consequences.  August, December, and January will see a very active and entertaining social calendar, but all of 2010 will see fun activities for Tiger. The Spring months, March to May, will bring encouraging and interesting job opportunities, but Tiger will still have to make sure he puts himself forward and gets noticed at work."

Here's the website for everyone's Chinese fortune in 2010.
