Magnetic, rebellious, and a risk-taker, Tiger years bring adventure, exploration and enthusiasm. The Metal Tiger year is glamorous and distinctive. It will encourage ambition, taking risks and leadership. The essence of the Tiger can best be described as nobility. High ideals, high moral character and impressive magnificence represent the Tiger?s most virtuous traits and in 2010 self-reliance, exciting activities, and passion take center stage.

Change will be the keyword this year. All signs will feel the restlessness of the Tigers influence motivating changes in many key areas of life. Many may pick up and change residence or jobs or both (possibly more than once.) Tiger years are a time of commotion, uproar and bold new moves. An unusually charismatic influence, more action-oriented and more impulsive is active. Takeovers, marches and empowered forces will finally make their move. In all endeavors ask yourself the question, "Is this a rash decision?"

The hidden element in the sign of the Tiger is Wood which negatively clashes with the Metal stem of the year. This clash between Wood and Metal could indicate an explosive and difficult time. Tyrants, both on the home front and internationally, (empowered and made bold by the previous Ox year), could act out in rash, unpredictable ways. 2010 will be a year favoring action, and courageous movement. In addition, the Metal element combined with the Tiger will make 2010 an unbending, rigid time. The nature of Metal is to define and strengthen which brings structure to ones life. The Metal element symbolizes clear thinking, sincerity and accuracy. For greatest success, learn to compromise with those who are in a position to help you.

The aggressive Tiger energy, confident with the years great changes and achievements, prepares to enter the calm, reticent and well-mannered sign of the Cat/rabbit.

Wealth or, at the very least, dramatic financial recovery is within your grasp this year so be sure to have a well thought out financial plan and goals. Be careful as impetuous spending could drain your newly recovered bank account just as quickly as it was filled. Slow down and think all purchases through very carefully. Attending happy or joyful events such as weddings, reunions, celebrations and lively debates are likely, they improve your luck and brighten your mood. Romance and marriage feature prominently for Tigers in 2010 and love is in the air for you! Committed Tigers and Tigress should be conscious of romantic temptations which could affect your relationship health. A pivotal year for all Tigers and the decisions that you make now will steer your course over the next 3 years. You formulate new plans and strategies this year many proposals and opportunities will be offered to you, but always allow extra time and slow down in order to avoid accidents.

The year of the Tiger and the Rabbit are in a Peach blossom or Love Plum relationship, responsible for romantic, scorching love affairs. You will be very attractive to the opposite sex and this year could be full of both passion and love scandals. Tiger years bring everything from memorable obsessions and attractions to soul mates and twin flames. Good news arrives, and the past few years of crisis and drudgery fade into the distant past. 2010 offers recognition for your efforts and talents - a hectic year when it is possible for you to achieve great success. Imagination, feeling and intuition flow freely from you now and influence everything from your dreams to your decisions about partnerships.  Be cautious of co-mingling funds with or lending money to others this year as it could sour a friendship. If single, your partner may be hinting to you about wanting a permanent commitment. The timing may be off and as always the cautious one, you resist and will not be hurried by pressure. However, by years end don't be surprised if you become more of a faithful finance than an artful dodger in love.

Plan an encore with a social Monkey, feisty Rooster, or eclectic Rat. Many of this years melodramatic situations will amuse you, but try to be sensitive to the suffering of the people involved (despite the self-perpetuated nature of their woes). Presence of mind and taking an extra measure of time to evaluate matters are the keys to negotiating this busy year.

When it comes to lovemaking you are a master and virtuoso but marriage or commitment may be the last thing on your mind this year. Recognition by colleagues is your top priority and should make this a particularly enjoyable year. Despite your frazzled nerves you are a good sport and cheerfully come along for the ride in 2010. You find life and routines changing much too quickly for your tastes. Lingering restlessness may provoke a major change in living arrangements or employment.

2018 Feb 16 to Feb 4, 2019: Earth Dog

The Dog and the Tiger are in a harmonious Trine relationship with each other and 2010 brings financial recovery for pessimistic Dogs. While there are no short cuts to any accomplishment this year, it should prove to be much better than the past 2 years have been. This is a good year to pay more attention to your physical and spiritual health. Take time to attend that healing seminar or soul retreat you have been thinking about. Be particularly cautious of injuries from sports or athletic activities during January, April and October. Work quietly behind the scenes, directing others with your encouragement and fresh ideas.  Love is also in the air for you! Say “Yes” to a romantic getaway with a street-wise Rabbit, a hot blooded Tiger or a politically savvy Horse and you’ll be in fine spirits! Be realistic in your planning and avoid wishful thinking for best results. A new, open-minded and optimistic year for you! Seize the opportunity.

Best months: Feb, June, Aug, Oct, and Nov. Challenging: Apr, July, and Sept.

Hardworking, but also very fond of pleasure, sensual Pigs must be careful in matters with the opposite sex. In 2010you may have many opportunities for love affairs, scandals and emotionally charged scenes. Single Pig year natives find a ray of romantic hope and may experience a new level of enthusiasm and self-confidence. Happier times are ahead for you! Be caution in May and August not to become involved in any legal disputes or allow someone to pull you into their legal matters. Vivid dreams and powerful emotions could take your tranquil soul by surprise.

Best months: Feb, Mar, April, July Challenging: May, August, Nov.

 Below is a Short Biography about Shelly.
Like most of those born into a year of the defending Dog, Shelly Wu spent a fair amount of her childhood fighting bullies -- taking up the gauntlet for the picked-on and the friendless.

Shelly no longer scuffles with bullies, but her soapboxes still run high. She believes that: "In the perception of the smallest is the secret of clear vision; in the guarding of the weakest is the secret of all strength." - Lao Tzu
Shelly's horoscope columns and feature articles have appeared in A. Magazine: Inside Asian America, The Rainbow News, The Tea Leaf, Psychic Interactive, Your Stars, InTouch and LIFE magazines. Her articles have been featured on the Associated Press, ABC News, the BBC, and the Wireless Flash news service.

In 1995, Shelly's website premiered in a new realm called the "Internet" and since that time has become a definitive source of information. Ms. Wu currently teaches Chinese and Mesoamerican Astrology at the International Academy of Astrology, is the author of the bestselling books Chinese Astrology: Exploring the Eastern Zodiac, Chinese Sexual Astrology: Eastern Secrets to Mind-Blowing Sex,The Karma Sutra: Sex, Love and Relationship Zen and The Definitive Book of Chinese Astrology available January 2010.

Those who have met Shelly say she has a certain 'spark' that is unmistakable. Using an eclectic mixture of metaphysics and astrology, she has a gift for encouragement -- her best role being that of moral supporter. Shelly confesses "I only believe in meaningful coincidences...I've been to the top of life's mountain and face down in it's valleys, and I believe that happiness and misfortune walk the same street." Shelly Wu lives and loves in the mountains of northern California with her menagerie of pets and can be heard on radio talk shows worldwide.
