Tiger

MANILA, Philippines - The Tiger symbolizes power, passion and daring. A Tiger therefore usually displays a rebellious, colorful and unpredictable character. He is a fearless and fiery fighter but on the other hand has a humanitarian and romantic streak in him. At his best, he is warm, sensitive and sympathetic; at his worst, he is obstinate, unreasonable and selfish.

2013 will be generally a good year, one that you’ll find satisfying on many fronts. However, you should endeavor to change your approach at doing things. While you tend to deal with issues and accomplish work with considerable energy, you’ll achieve better results if you temper your ways. It will also help to follow your intuition and passion this year.

On the professional front, 2013 is a time for consolidation. You’ll need to take stock of your past efforts and build on your achievements. There will be bumps along the way, so try to win over people to your side with charm and reason. It is also a good period to further train in your field of expertise. Many Tigers will remain in their present jobs but there will be opportunities to take on bigger responsibilities. Those seeking work will see unexpected openings during the third and fourth quarters of the year.

Your finances are expected to improve towards the middle of the year. A surprise gift or cash windfall could come your way, thus allowing you to proceed with a long-planned project or purchase.

Many Tigers will have the chance to go on a leisure travel this year. You will also be drawn towards a new recreational activity or health regimen. At home, you will take pleasure in many family events and social gatherings with friends. It will also be a good time to do some spring cleaning at home and in your workplace. A family member or close friend will need your support so be there for him. You’ll have to watch out though for a major personality clash with an associate. Someone from your past will re-appear in your life. Keep an open mind but exercise some caution.
