The Year of the Tiger is a take-it-easy year. Remain conservative and stick to what you know best. This isn’t a tide to make great changes or advances. Above all be prudent financially as there’ll be periods when you need extra funds or find yourself earning less.

Some of you will be forced to seek new employment. The Tiger Year’s benefits come in the form of spiritual development, evolving friendships, love for singles and space to bond with family.

The Ice Moon 1st-13th, is steady but unexciting, apart from some fun gatherings, outings and perhaps a holiday. Work, study and business will be steady, but if you strive to make extra progress, you’ll only exhaust yourself. Healthful Earth energies support new exercise or dance regimes, and remind you to top up your immune system with vitamins and minerals.

After the 14th’s New Holiday Moon, you may find you’re feeling vulnerable and stressed. There’ll be criticism and tensions in relationships. Be patient and soldier on. As a Monkey you have faith in yourself and so other people’s barbed opinions shouldn’t be able to wound your confidence. Beyond the 22nd, be sure to take time out to be with people you care for and do things you enjoy.
