This can be a constructive year for the Metal Tiger, although it will require good planning. With some ideas and hopes in mind, the Metal Tiger will be able to get a lot out of the next 12 months, but if he proceeds in too ad hoc a manner, time and some good opportunities could be lost. As 2011 starts all Metal Tigers should consider setting themselves some objectives for the year and having something definite to work towards.

As personal development is favourably aspected this year, if there is a skill the Metal Tiger would like to learn or improve, or a subject that has been intriguing him, this is an ideal time to follow this up. Self-improvement activities could be especially satisfying, with the Metal Tiger exploring ways he can use his new knowledge. Some Metal Tigers will also decide to give some attention to their well-being and, with proper guidance, will be pleased with the changes they make.

For Metal Tigers who are particularly keen to meet others, it could be well worth considering joining groups, enrolling on courses and going to interest-related events. With his keen and enterprising nature, the Metal Tiger will nearly always have something to look forward to, but May to early September and November are likely to be the busiest months socially. Also, during the year the Metal Tiger could have the chance to help a very good friend, and the support he gives can be significant. Many of those around him value his judgement and over the year he can demonstrate what a true friend he is.

The Rabbit year can also spring its surprises and some of these could be travel related. The Metal Tiger may see a last-minute offer that particularly appeals to him or be tempted to travel to a special event. If so, he should seize his opportunities. In addition, if there is a particular destination he is keen to visit or something he specifically wants to do, by making enquiries and keeping alert he could benefit from some ideal offers.

He will also enjoy his home life over the year, with shared activities bringing him particular pleasure. Again, if he acts on his ideas, he can make this a satisfying and constructive time. There could also be some family highlights during the year, with an achievement or anniversary to mark.

Although the Metal Tiger will enjoy a lot of the year, as with any year there will be pressures and problems to address. Rather than keep these to himself, he should talk them over with his loved ones and, if appropriate, seek professional advice. He should also be wary of acting on any complicated matter too quickly. Facts, implications and sometimes obligations will need to be checked and clarified. When problems arise, the Metal Tiger will need to be thorough and avoid haste.

This also applies to financial matters. The Metal Tiger should study any financially-related forms carefully and question anything which is unclear. This is a year for care and keeping alert. In addition, if he makes advance provision for some of his plans and keeps a watchful eye on spending, he will find he is able to go ahead with much more as well as benefit from some favourable buying opportunities.

For Metal Tigers in work this will be a busy year, with many facing a heavier workload and new pressures. However, while demanding, it will offer the Metal Tiger an excellent chance to add to his experience. Many Metal Tigers could find their in-depth knowledge particularly valued as colleagues seek their advice or they guide and instruct more junior staff. The Rabbit year can be an exacting one but give the Metal Tiger the opportunity to display and develop his strengths.

For Metal Tigers seeking work, the Rabbit year can present a number of choices. Sometimes these could involve adapting and using their skills in new ways or taking on a temporary position with a view to seeing how it develops, but by remaining open to possibility, many could succeed in taking on an interesting new role. April to early July and September could see important work developments.

Metal Tigers who retire this year can also make this a constructive time. By giving careful thought to what they now want to do and getting their plans underway, they can see the year developing in an encouraging manner.

Overall, the Rabbit year holds promising prospects for the Metal Tiger and by acting on his ideas and opportunities, he will often derive much satisfaction from what he is able to do and the benefits that follow on. An interesting and favourable year.
