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!!!!

Here's some more info I found on the web about this coming year. You can see how your sign fares in this year! (But don't be discouraged if it says you are going to have it tough - life is still full of surprises, and, if anything, next year will be better!)
ReplyDelete"The Year of the Tiger 2010 is a Yang Metal year, and it's a year of much activity, drama, changefulness, crisis, and unpredictability. Tiger years are associated with political and social instability or upheaval. Metal is not a very compatible element for Tiger (Tiger prefers Wood and Fire), and thus 2010 is expected to be challenging and turbulent overall. Nevertheless, the Tiger does prefer Yang, and 2010 is a Yang year, which strengthens matters somewhat. It is strong for technological advances and innovations.
The overall theme is one of change and unpredictability, and so all signs will benefit from remaining flexible and adaptable to changeful conditions in 2010. While caution and moderation were advised in 2009, the Year of the Ox, flexibility and the ability to deal with change are essential qualities in 2010.
The Tiger's independent, innovative, assertive, leading, and honorable traits are qualities that will be especially favored in the year of the Tiger.
It's important to note that while some signs have a higher affinity to the Tiger, and others have a natural incompatibility to the Tiger, the fact that it's a Yang Metal year complicates matters greatly. For example, while the Monkey is incompatible with Tiger and we would naturally expect a more challenging year for the Monkey as a result, Monkeys favor yang and Metal. It's similar for all signs, and the result is a real mixed bag for each and every sign of the Chinese zodiac this year!
The Year of the Tiger is expected to be a quick-moving, turbulent one. As such, it's better suited for those who are anxious to move their plans forward, while it can feel unsettling for those who most value peace and quiet. Opportunities come and go quickly during the Year of the Tiger. Be innovative and adaptable, no matter your sign!"
