Chinese Astrology Predictions 2008: The Tiger

Chinese astrology is an ancient art which guides people all over the world through fulfillment and enlightenment. Let's see the yearly (2008) prediction for the Chinese sign of the Tiger.

A new 12-year cycle started at Feb 7, 2008 with the Year of the Rat according to the Chinese calendar. This important cycle (or era) ends at Feb 5, 2019. It is a 12-year period generally ruled by the universal element of Earth. There are also other elements which rule over each of the 12 years. For example Earth rules over the first and the second year of the cycle (2008, 2009) while Metal rules over the third and the fourth year of the cycle (2010, 2011). The year 2008 is also ruled by the sign of the Rat and has a Yang (male) nature. So 2008 is the Yang year of the Earth Rat. What are the predictions for the sign of the Tiger for 2008? This is what this article is all about.

Tiger people in the new 12-year era will seek for opportunities to expand their kingdom. They will not make any secret or long-term plans. They don't even like having a secret agenda. All they care about is how to seize every day and live life to the fullest. That's what they will likely do during 2008.

Tiger people will continue to move on in their own pace opposing to every authority. They will keep living in a world of their own which they will guard by all means. They will be very self centered and suspicious as usual.

During 2008, Tigers will have a chance to improve relationships with society, their friends and their family. The abilities of the Rat which rules over 2008 will help them do just that. They have to be careful though, not to miss any chances for improvement. Tigers find it difficult to maintain any relationship and expect others to do that on their behalf. This year offers them an opportunity to change that. They should take advantage of it for their own benefit.

The element of the Earth which rules over 2008 can make the Tiger very sensitive and short tempered. It is not a good year for major decisions. Due to Earth's effect Tiger people will not be able to make up their minds which can result in poor or hasty decisions. Tigers should wait for 2010. A year which they rule in this 12-year era. 2010 will be a year of major positive changes in Tiger people's lives.

The Yang (male) nature of 2008 will cause anxiety to Tiger people and will make them feel a bit uncomfortable. These people though, have a way to overcome such negative feelings.

Here are my predictions using the five star system. This has to do with the overall positive energy that the Tiger will receive during 2008. One star (*) means less energy than expected, while five stars (*****) mean more energy than expected. Three stars (***) mean equal amount of positive and negative energy which is a balanced situation:
