Читать книгу Your Chinese Horoscope 2017: What the Year of the Rooster holds in store for you - Neil Somerville, Neil Somerville - Страница 62

The Rooster likes to look ahead and plan and this is what the Metal Tiger would do well to do this year. By giving some thought to what he would like to see happen, he will not only be able to channel his energies more effectively but also accomplish a surprising amount.

In his planning, he should discuss his ideas with those close to him. This way not only will he be better able to gauge their reaction but his initial ideas can often broaden out as well as get underway. This is a year favouring concerted action. Projects could include neatening and refreshing certain rooms as well as adding new comforts. As they are started, they will have a tendency to mushroom and become more wide-ranging.

As well as practical improvements, the Metal Tiger can look forward to some special moments in his home life. Celebrations are possible, and whether these involve a wedding, birth, graduation or the career success of someone close, there will be reason for the Metal Tiger to feel justifiably proud. There will also be ways in which he can assist, either with arrangements or advice. In some instances, his expertise will be especially pertinent.

Another positive factor will be the mutual support seen in many a Metal Tiger’s household. He himself will benefit from the guidance of others, particularly with some purchasing choices. Similarly, when problems arise (as they do in any year), it is important they are fully aired and opinions sought. If particularly complex, it may be worth the Metal Tiger seeking professional guidance or contacting a helpline.

June, August and September could see pleasing domestic developments, although there will be a lot to appreciate throughout the year.

Travel is also strongly indicated, and Metal Tigers who have family and friends living some distance away should take up any chances to visit them. Similarly, if able, the Metal Tiger should plan a holiday over the year. By choosing his destination with care, he will be able to fit in a surprising amount as well as see new sights and enjoy new thrills.

For Metal Tigers in work, the Rooster year will be one of decision. While some of these Metal Tigers will continue to make good use of their experience, others could decide to reduce their commitments or retire. Such transitions may not initially be easy, but by making the most of their opportunities (including any additional time now available), these Metal Tigers will quickly come to embrace what opens up for them. The Metal Tiger has an enquiring nature and invariably new ideas and possibilities will occur to him.

This will especially be the case with his interests. While he will continue to enjoy the pursuits he has followed for many years, he may also decide to experiment with new approaches or teach himself a new skill. Metal Tigers enjoy challenge and mental stimulation, and this Rooster year will bring a variety of ideas and opportunities their way. The Metal Tiger may also be inspired by contact with other enthusiasts and could find it worth joining a local club, society or class.

He could also enjoy some financial good fortune, perhaps through receiving a bonus or gift or seeing the fruition of a policy. A lucky few may even enjoy a competition win. However, while the aspects are favourable, the Metal Tiger will rarely be short of spending ideas. To get the best value from his purchases, he needs to take the time to check his requirements are being met and compare options and costs. The greater care, the better. He should also ensure he keeps paperwork safe and is thorough when completing forms. A loss or mistake could result in protracted correspondence. Metal Tigers, take note.

Socially, there will be quite a few convivial occasions for the Metal Tiger to look forward to over the year, with February, June, September and December seeing a lot of activity. While a lot will go well, should a difference of opinion arise or an issue concern the Metal Tiger, he will need to tread warily. Without care, something which starts in a minor way could become awkward. Also, if another person has reservations about one of his ideas, he should listen. There could be reasons for this which he may not have fully taken on board. Metal Tigers, take note and be mindful of others.

In general, the Year of the Rooster can be a constructive one for the Metal Tiger. He can accomplish a great deal and enjoy the benefits and good times that follow on. He can also look forward to a certain amount of luck this year and circumstances will often assist in what he sets out to do. Travel, too, can bring considerable pleasure, as can family news and projects. It is a year to join forces with others rather than act too independently, but overall it is a good one for the Metal Tiger, with many plans developing in encouraging ways.
