Читать книгу Your Chinese Horoscope 2014: What the year of the horse holds in store for you - Neil Somerville, Neil Somerville - Страница 63

As the Year of the Horse gets underway, many Water Tigers will feel this is a time of change and that by acting purposefully, they will gain results. And this will be the case for many. The Horse year requires effort and application and the enterprising Water Tiger will be able to make positive strides. For those who have been feeling unfulfilled or have been hindered by recent circumstances, this can be a particularly welcome change.

In the Water Tiger’s work situation there can be significant developments. In view of the expertise and experience he has built up, he will often have the chance to move his career forward, either by taking advantage of promotion opportunities or new openings that arise during the year. Many Water Tigers will find themselves in the right place at the right time in this year of rapidly moving developments. The Water Tiger’s strengths can serve him especially well and, being an effective communicator and good at generating ideas, he will often find himself with an increased role to play in many a team. This is a year when he can make his talents count and show others his true potential.

This also applies to Water Tigers who feel there are limited prospects where they are as well as those looking for work. Although the employment situation may be difficult, by considering different ways in which they could use their skills and making an extra effort with their applications and at interview, they will find new doors opening for them. The Water Tiger’s drive, talents and personal strengths will impress many this year. February, late March, April, June and September could see interesting developments, but with the aspects as they are, at almost any time of the year the Water Tiger may see an avenue of enquiry which could be worth pursuing.

Another positive aspect concerns his own personal development. Whether through work or his personal interests, he should make the most of any opportunities to learn something new or improve on his skills and knowledge. Much can follow on from this in the future.

In addition, Water Tigers who enjoy creative activities could receive an encouraging response to any ideas or work they may promote this year. As the saying goes, ‘Nothing ventured, nothing gained,’ and it will reward the Water Tiger to venture.

The progress he makes can also help financially, and with the aspects as they are, he may also benefit from some financial windfalls this year. However, with existing commitments, an often active lifestyle and the likelihood of travel too, his outgoings will be considerable and will need to be watched. Before making any major purchase, the Water Tiger should take the time to consider his choices. With care, he can fare well, but he does need to remain vigilant.

He can look forward to a busy social life in the Horse year and will often have an interesting mix of things to do. Once again, his interest in others and ability to empathize will make him popular company. For Water Tigers who have experienced recent personal difficulty or feel their life is lacking a certain sparkle, the Horse year can be a time of exciting possibility. However, to bring improvement these Water Tigers need to be active and go to events in their area and/or join interest or community groups. Positive action can lead to meeting others and, for some who are currently unattached, exciting romantic possibilities. May, July, September and December could be busy months socially.

The Water Tiger’s home life will also be especially active this year, with the possibility of an important family occasion to mark. In view of all the activity, there will need to be good organization, co-operation and flexibility. To help, the Water Tiger should spread out any practical undertakings rather than have a lot concentrated in a short space of time. He should also make sure that quality time does not suffer due to general busyness. With travel well aspected, he should aim to take a holiday with his loved ones over the year as well as take advantage of any travel opportunities that arise at short notice. Horse years do have an element of surprise and spontaneity about them.

Overall, the Year of the Horse can be a favourable one for the Water Tiger. To benefit fully, he will need to keep alert as well as use his ideas and strengths to advantage. However, the Water Tiger has a lot to offer and with a positive ‘can do’ attitude, he can fare well and enjoy some well-deserved success.
