My Dear Readers, Friends, Fans and Internet Users,
HAPPY METAL TIGER NEW YEAR!
After a stringent Ox year, trudging through fields of peanut butter, we are ( all of a wonderful sudden) now entering the magical, manic, marvelous year of the Chinese Metal Tiger.
Metal Tigers are not like the other four types of Tiger. They are in some ways better - and in some ways worse. Why? Because Metal Tigers, with all their efficiency and effectiveness, are less profoundly emotional, more prone to committing rash acts and a smidgen gloomier than other Tigers. Let's just say that Metal Tigers (1950, 2010) are not easy to tame.
This New Year (February 14, 2010 to Feb 3, 2011) promises to subject us, one and all, to major changes: Lifestyle changes. Job changes. Travel changes. Significant other changes. Pregnancy and birth, marriage and health changes.
The Metal Tiger year will be outstanding for you who prowl about forever seeking to alter major parts of your existence. For those of you who crave security, mostly stick close to tradition and prefer to remain at home unperturbed by the fireside... this rambunctious year could be trying indeed.
"HOW WILL THIS YEAR AFFECT ME?" You wonder.
LOOK FORWARD TO : New friends and foes. New joys and sorrows. New wins and losses. New illnesses and cures. New cars and horses and dogs and husbands and wives and houses, employment, clothes, shoes and toothbrushes. In other words...ESPOUSE CHANGE. Or else!
Expect the unexpected, roll with the punches, ride the winds of change with a big goofy smile pasted on your pretty face. Be optimistic and the Metal Tiger will treat you with masses of jolly surprises you will adore. But if you panic and lose it, if you live in fear of change and exhibit your vulnerability, the tawny Tiger may ignore you - or worse - impose some startling upheaval on your hitherto steady existence.
ADVICE? Keep your double chins up and your beady little eyes peeled for opportunities to laugh. Tigers just about never interfere with people who are enjoying themselves. They might want to barge in and join in the fun. But they don't sanction the fun-loving.
HAPPY 2010!
GOOD FORTUNE. LONG LIFE
Cheers, Suzanne White

THE METAL TIGER YEAR 2010
(February 14, 2010 - February 2, 2011)
All Tiger years are turbulent. Political unrest, coups d'états, and catastrophes may strike during these action-packed years. On the other hand, for many, Tiger years represent luck incarnate. Tigers are lucky beasts. Keeping a Tiger person close by or in your very home will protect you from fire and theft.
This year prudence is advised in all new undertakings. During a Tiger year, nobody should leap before he examines either venture or adventure. The Tiger, though noble and honorable, endows his years with uncertainty. He tends to court danger and espouse change. Tigers never know where they might pounce next. In Tiger years, from time to time the the rest of us to face head-on collisions with our own enemies. When we least expect that calamity, it surges out of nowhere. Much strength may be required of us during these testy times. Best way to deal is not to anticipate disorder or worry about what might happen next. Prepare for the worst. But think positively.
Two of Metal’s main emotional forces are melancholy and romance. I see Metal as Wagnerian. Metal people must guard against a tendency to wallow in nostalgia. A certain murky gloom can permeate the atmosphere in Metal Tiger years. We must remain optimistic and perceive adversity as challenge. These years, rife with sudden modifications and reforms of the status quo are salutary for people who know how to hold their own in unpredictable situations, calamity and upset. For those who panic or are squeamish about altering old habits or modfiying their approach, Metal Tiger years can be plenty disruptive.
Advice? WATCH YOUR STEP. You must eye exactly the spot where you plan to place your best foot forward in Tiger years. Stay alert to your own foibles and monitor impulsive gestures. Be tactful. Play it safe if you must. But don't denigrate those who don't. Above all, keep a cool head in the face of unsettling events. Brother-in-law walks off with the family jewels? Storms hit your area causing blackouts, floods and property damage? Kids fall ill at school and you can't reach them in a blizzard? Neighbors dig up your trees and replant them on their property? A thief tries to enter through the bathroom window while you're in the shower?
All manner of surprising events and harrowing moments will pepper your upcoming Tiger year. Pretend you're on a roller coaster. Hang on tight and enjoy the ride.
If you adore surprises and thrive on revolutionary ideals, this turbulent year promises to be fun and games. For those of you who long for everything to remain as it always was: comfy, cozy and warm enough for your taste, fasten your seat belts and get ready to encounter some dicey moments ahead.
