This will be a positive year for the Water Tiger and while it may lack the activity of some, he will often be pleased with the progress he makes. For many Water Tigers this can be an encouraging and personally satisfying time.

With the year’s emphasis on personal development, if there are any particular skills the Water Tiger feels it could be useful to learn or improve on, he should make enquiries and see what is possible. By looking to develop and doing something definite about it, he will often benefit from the knowledge he acquires. New skills could be one of the most important legacies of the Rabbit year.

As far as personal interests are concerned, the Water Tiger could also find it helpful to see what courses, interest groups and amenities are available in his area. With positive action backed by enthusiasm, he can make this a particularly rewarding time. The Water Tiger also has talents as a communicator, and any Water Tigers who enjoy writing should set time aside to enjoy their skills and creativity. In the Rabbit year the Water Tiger should use his strengths and chances wisely.

With the year favouring personal improvement, if the Water Tiger feels he is lacking sufficient exercise or his diet could be improved, it would be worth him seeking advice on the best way to proceed. Appropriate changes can make a noticeable difference, including improving energy levels.

The Water Tiger will value the help and support he is given over the year and, particularly when considering a new activity or project, he should talk over his ideas with those around him. Similarly, by being forthcoming over any concerns he may have, he will enable others to better understand and advise.

In his home life, with often busy lifestyles and different schedules to work around, the Water Tiger will need to ensure there is good co-operation and everyone does their fair share around the home. Also, despite the activity of the year, setting time aside for shared pursuits will not only help rapport and understanding but also add to the quality of home life.

Another feature of the year will be the support the Water Tiger is able to give to both younger and more senior relations, and although he may not want to appear interfering, his assistance can make a difference. The Water Tiger’s people skills will be much in evidence this year.

He will also find this an active and pleasing year socially. With the year’s emphasis on self-development, it is possible he will meet others who have embarked on a self-improvement activity or who share his interests (and sometimes problems), and this can lead to new friendships being made. For the unattached, affairs of the heart are also well aspected. Late April to August and November could see the most social activity.

In the Water Tiger’s work, there will be excellent chances to develop his skills. Often these will be with his present employer, with him being encouraged to make more of his specialist skills and being well placed for greater responsibilities. Admittedly, the headway many Water Tigers make this year will be modest rather than substantial, but a key benefit of the Rabbit year will be the experience the Water Tiger gains. This can prepare him well for future opportunities.

For Water Tigers who are seeking work or would like a change from what they are currently doing, the Rabbit year can be an excellent time to evaluate their position and consider the direction they would now like their career to take. With careful thought and some guidance, many could discover new possibilities to pursue, possibly involving retraining. For quite a few Water Tigers this is a year to take stock, consider what they now want to do and be prepared to adapt and learn. Opportunities could arise at almost any time, but April to early July and September could see some important work developments.

Many Water Tigers can look forward to an increase in earnings this year, but all will need to be disciplined in their spending and allow for their commitments and plans. Without care, anything extra could quickly be spent and not always in the best way. This is a year for good control and careful budgeting.

Overall, the Year of the Rabbit can be an interesting one, but the Water Tiger does need to act. With willingness and enthusiasm, he can make progress, but if he takes a more laid-back approach, valuable time and opportunities could be lost. Water Tigers, take note and do build on what this year offers.
