2010 YEAR OF THE TIGER
According to the
Chinese Zodiac, the Year of 2010 is the Year of the
Tiger, which begins on February 14, 2010 and ends on February 2,
2011. The Tiger is the third sign in the cycle of Chinese
Zodiac, which consists of 12 animal signs.
It is a sign of courage. This fearless and fiery fighter is revered
by the ancient Chinese as the sign that wards off the three main
disasters of a household: fire, thieves and ghosts.
People born in the Year of
the Tiger are generally well liked because of their charming
personalities. Often, failing at a given task or being
unproductive in his personal or professional life can cause a Tiger
to experience a deep depression. Criticism from loved ones can
also generate this type of Tiger reaction.
Tigers are fond of
competitions. They simply cannot pass up a challenge. They may
appear cool and are unpredictable, and it would be unwise to
underestimate their reactions. Natural leaders, they have a strong
sense of their own dignity. They are intelligent, alert, and
farsighted. Good strategists and tacticians, they often have a
hidden agenda. As long as they do not risk their luck too
often, and keep their restless nature under control, they will enjoy
success and happiness.
People born in the Year of
the Tiger are straightforward and uninhibited in nature. They will
never give up no matter how frustrated they may become. But,
they are also full of suspicion and sometimes will take hasty
action.
Famous Tiger People:
Agatha Christie, Crystal Gayle, Cybill Shepherd, Demi Moore, Diana
Rigg, Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, Hilary Swank, Jodie Foster, Marilyn
Monroe, Mary Queen of Scots, Norma Shearer, Penelope Cruz, Queen
Elizabeth II, Rosie O'Donnell, and Tom Cruise.
