Like a tiger pouncing on its prey this is definitely going to be a big, bold, explosive year. Nothing will be done on a miniature scale, everything, whether good and bad, will be carried to the extremes. Fortunes can be made and lost in business or in the stock market. If you are a gambler then you will have a tendency to gamble for high stakes, but at the same time you must realize that the odds are pretty much stacked up against you. Historically it begins with a bang & ends with a whimper. This year will be noted for war &
disagreement among nations and all sorts of natural calamities. People will do rash and sensational things on the spur of the moment. Tempers will flare all around, passion will overcome logic - so diplomats and doves in any administration will have a tough time bringing the warring parties to the negotiating table. Irrational people always willing to alienate a particular section of society from the rest of humanity will seem to be winning their despicable campaign. Friendships, joint ventures and signing of agreements requiring trust, teamwork & collaboration made at this time will be short-lived. But the commanding and charismatic Tiger can inject new life and vigor into lost causes, sinking ventures and failing industries. This year’s upheavals will have a cathartic effect on us, just as intense heat is essential to draw out precious metals from their ores, so the Tiger year can bring out the best in us.
