Chinese Years
According to the ancient Chinese system of astrology, your life and character are shaped by the particular year in which you were born, not by the days and months.
Under the Chinese astrological system, each year falls within one of the twelve heavenly constellations or Mansions. These are named for the characteristics they share with twelve of the creatures which roam the Earth below. The Twelve Animals by which the Chinese identify each of these Heavenly Mansions are the Dragon. Snake, Horse, Sheep or Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Boar, Rat, Buffalo or Ox, Tiger, and Rabbit or Hare.
As the planet Jupiter travels through its twelve-year circuits of the Sun, it passes through one of these twelve Mansions each year. Those born in that year, withing the shelter of that Mansion, will share its characteristics and its fortunes.
The Year of The Tiger
Based on the Chinese Horoscope 2010 is the Year of the Tiger. As well, any person born in the years: 1914, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998 or 2010 are all Tigers. The mystic symbolism associated with the Tiger is ‘Awakening of Life’.
Those born under the influence of the Tiger, are considered to have enormous talents for making money and every likelihood of material success. The Chines Malay God of Wealth is sometimes portrayed mounted upon a tiger.
Tigers have long been an emblem of bravery and ferocity. If others come under their protection, then those people will have every cause to feel safe from other earthly predators. As the poet William Blake said:
“Tiger, tiger burning bright … Did he who made the Lamb, make thee?”
Those born under this Sign often strike other people as far too intense, dynamite in fact. Then on days when Tiger people are presenting a cool front they can be easily misunderstood as uppity, standoffish and unfriendly.
Either way, others learn quickly to approach Tiger people with caution. The usually magnificently handsome men and women born as children to the Tiger are not only dominating but highly critical of those who can’t match their stern intelligence or explosive energy.
Courageous and adventurous, if you are born in the Heavenly House of the Tiger, then you revel in risk as others do in a warm bath. Chinese gambling dens use tigers as a symbol to advertise their establishments. Highflyers and hard players, rebellious to all authority if they’re in the mood, people born in a Year of the Tiger love to live life right ‘on the edge’. If you are one, be warned; even those with their namesake’s feline grace and surefooted sense of balance must stumble at times.
It you are born to the Heavenly Mansion of the Tiger, there will be days when you’ll find you agree with those who believe that life is not meant to be easy. In fact, you are often unlucky in love. Lucky at cards, unlucky at love as the saying goes.
Tiger people will have better luck in life as well as in love if they manage to fall for partners born in a Year of the Dragon, the Dog, and the Horse. They should be wary of adding to their bad luck in every way if they form liaisons with anyone born in the Years of the Monkey or the Snake.
