Читать книгу Your Chinese Horoscope 2014: What the year of the horse holds in store for you - Neil Somerville, Neil Somerville - Страница 65

This will be a full and interesting year for the Wood Tiger. Not only does it mark the start of a new decade in his life, but with his active and enthusiastic nature, he will revel in the excellent opportunities it will bring. For any Wood Tiger who has felt held back or frustrated in recent times, this year can see a welcome improvement in both his situation and prospects.

With Tiger resolve combined with his quick wits, the Wood Tiger can achieve a lot in 2014 as well as set a positive pattern for the next few years. However, to get the best results from the year, he will need to remain focused and concentrate on priorities.

For Wood Tigers who are well established in a career, the Horse year can offer some good opportunities to move ahead. Whether obtaining promotion with their existing employer or moving elsewhere, these Wood Tigers will find this an encouraging time. Also, what many Wood Tigers take on this year will give them the chance to explore and extend their capabilities and, in the process, prepare them for further advances in the future. What is achieved this year can have considerable long-term value.

For Wood Tigers who feel unfulfilled or are seeking work, the Horse year can also bring new opportunities. However in order to benefit, these Wood Tigers will need to be active in making enquiries and quick to follow up any possibilities – Horse years are not ones for delay. However, when committed to an objective, the Wood Tiger will usually achieve what he wants – and changing or finding a job will be a priority for many this year. February, April, June to early July and September could see encouraging developments.

Another factor that will help many Wood Tigers this year will be their ability to relate well to others. Not only can the Wood Tiger be a key member of any workforce or team, but during the course of the year he can particularly impress influential people and establish what can become important contacts. If relevant, he may find it helpful to join a professional organization. By networking and raising his profile he can do a lot to strengthen his position and prospects.

Progress at work will often lead to an increase in income and as a consequence some Wood Tigers will decide to go ahead with accommodation plans or major purchases that they have been considering for some time. By thinking through their requirements, they will often be very pleased with the outcome. An element of good fortune can sometimes help as well.

The Horse year can bring some good travel opportunities and some Wood Tigers will decide to celebrate their fortieth year with a special holiday or treat. If this can be planned and budgeted for in advance, it can be enjoyed all the more and be a memorable highlight of the year.

The Wood Tiger will also make the most of his social opportunities this year. Not only will he value meeting his friends (some of whom will be especially supportive this year), but will also thoroughly enjoy the social events he attends. His personal interests can also bring him into contact with new people. Late April, May, July, September and December are likely to see the greatest level of social activity.

For the unattached Wood Tiger this can be an especially exciting year, with a chance encounter possibly becoming significant. Wood Tigers who have been feeling lonely and would welcome company, a more rewarding social life or possible romance should make it a resolution to go out more and perhaps join a local activity group. This is a year which rewards positive and purposeful action.

The Wood Tiger can also benefit from his personal interests this year. If he has ideas he would like to take further, this would be an ideal time to act. The Wood Tiger is blessed with an imaginative and enquiring nature and some of his undertakings this year will be especially rewarding.

In addition he should give some thought to his well-being and if he feels his level of exercise or the quality of his diet is in any way lacking, he should seek advice on the best action to take.

His home life will be busy and eventful and his loved ones may well be keen to celebrate his fortieth year in style. Over the year the Wood Tiger may also give extra assistance to more senior relations. However, in view of the general activity of the year, flexibility would be advised where more practical activities are concerned and the Wood Tiger should watch his sometimes over-zealous nature. He may be keen and willing, but there are limits to how much can be undertaken at any one time. Overall, however, this can be a full and rewarding year domestically.

The Wood Tiger has many talents, and his determination, quick wits and experience may lead to some good results in the Horse year. To make the most of his opportunities, he does need to concentrate on specific aims and focus on priorities, but he will be helped by the support and goodwill of those around him and his loved ones will be especially important. There are some memorable personal times in store for him in this rewarding year.
