Tiger
General
2018Your bold personality knows no bounds, Tiger and, this year, you get a chance to prove yourself in many new arenas. Thankfully, you and the Dog get along great, so during the year of the earth Dog, you're poised and ready to make some positive shifts.
From work to money, love, and more, you're using your courage and cleverness to get ahead. Last year, it may have been about proving yourself to someone or something.
This year, it's about relaxing a little more, not taking your eye off the ball exactly, but allowing yourself to enjoy a little more of the ride. It's also a great year for anything you want to grow.
As you make your yearly intentions, think about the seeds you're planting, and how you want them to sprout and bear fruit. Your friends don't know where you get all this energy, but your secret is that you love life, and aren't afraid to show it.
Love - Romantic
You know what you want and aren't afraid to go after it. Tiger natives are known for their love of the chase. When it comes to relationships this year, though, you're looking for something that requires a little less drama.
If you've been dating a lot of the same kind of person and not getting anywhere, try mixing it up. You may find that "your type" isn't really a thing after all. As you get closer over the summer months, consider all you've been through. Last year taught you so much about yourself, and now you're ready to use all that positive growth in a real, adult relationship.
Those already partnered up can find new wisdom from their partners around the solar eclipse of February 15 when they have the perfect answer to something you're going through. Knowing you have such a wonderful partner by your side not only feels amazing but lets you know you're on the right track in other areas of your life, too. Together, you're working up to a major life transition happening in the second half of the year. Tigers can sometimes be unwilling to settle, but you didn't do that. You actively chose the right person for you, as they prove to you every day of the week.
If you're thinking about increasing the size of your family, you may be surprised at how emotional this makes you. Becoming a parent, or adopting a pet, means so much to you. You're finally ready for the responsibility this brings.
Finance - Money
Tigers love to leave their mark wherever they go, as a way to show they've been there. When it comes to your wealth, Tiger, you're no different.
During the year of the earth Dog, all the hard work you did last year has paved the way for you to reap the rewards this year. Woohoo!
As you study up on how to grow your wealth, you may need to swallow your pride and seek some expert advice. You don't have to go it all alone, after all. This information can make a big difference in your bottom line by the end of the year.
New investments take shape around the end of winter through the beginning of spring, when you're willing to take some out of the bank for a splurge, and leave the rest to make your future brighter and more comfortable. Enjoy the warm feeling security brings.
Career - Work
You were so busy last year that you may not have been able to keep up with your friends and family, Tiger, so this year, you've decided to change that. The earth Dog is great for making progress in your career, whether you're trying to get a better position, more flex time, or a salary that will allow you to save.
You seldom leave a room the same way you found it, so this is also the year to work on your image a little more. If you're known as the opinionated one, this year you may try listening a little more, and seeing how you can help shape the company's policies that way. When it comes to co-workers, you win them over simply by being the great leader you are. You won't lose an inch of ground just by trying something new.
During the lunar eclipse of July 27, use a secret to your advantage. It's not underhanded if it's the truth, and you deserve to get ahead. As co-workers learn to respect your abilities, there may be some jealousy. Shrug it off with your trademark humor and move on to better things. You're moving up in the world.
Health
Since your sign of the Tiger is one of the physically strongest in the zodiac, you're often feeling good, and flexing your muscles for all to see.
But this year, as the earth Dog takes over, you may find that your body is craving a little more rest and self-care. Finding some downtime in your busy schedule is never easy, but try to do so around the months of late spring into early fall, when you may be feeling a little ragged. Connecting with friends may be the ticket to feeling better, since the Dog is so social, and being around those you love.
This is also a year of stepping back a little from your habit of accepting too many projects. You know your limits, and now it's time to practice them. If you need help, ask for it, since many people want to assist you. Your body and health will thank you.
