Happy Chinese New Year of the TIGER!

The Lunar New Year calendar dates back to 2600 BCE and was implemented by the great emperor Huang Di. Huang Di himself was incredibly interested in Traditional Chinese Medicine and was a great student of herbology and acupuncture. He introduced the first cycle in the Chinese Zodiac. And to this we celebrate!!!
This year the lunar New Year is particularly auspicious because it also falls on St. Valentine's Day. It is, by the Chinese lunar Calendar the year 4708.

The tiger is one of the most caring and thoughtful signs in the Chinese zodiac. Tigers are very vocal about societies rights and wrongs, and have a strong sense of righteousness. Tigers are fierce protectors to those that they love, and the innocent. Children, friends and loved ones are fortunate to have a Tiger close to them.
2010 will be a triumphant year for the Tiger. Obstacles will be easily overcome and the Tiger will shine!
Tiger years are 1914, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998

Happy Chinese New Year!!!!
