December 16 - December 22, 2024
This is a time of year when we are going to be getting together with others, but adding to what is a socially focused time of year is that you are in the very heart of the social and serendipitous month of the Rat. It was Sunday's Full Moon that not only brought you to the halfway point of the month of the Rat but also brought its influence to its peak potency. With the month of the Rat running through to New Year's Eve, for the rest of the year the focus will remain on your social life, friendships, teamwork and networking and there will be places to go and people to see. However, as the Moon moves into its waning phase and things go off their peak, you will feel a need to become more selective with your time and who you spend it with.
Year of the Dragon
Feb 10, 2024 - Jan 28, 2025
Regardless of what lunar year you are moving into, the first month of any year is always the month of the Tiger, with a chance first for a personal check in. This brings you to the start of a new personal 12-month lunar cycle, something that will always coincide with the start of a new lunar year. No one other than those born during the Year of the Tiger will ever get to experience the chance that the Chinese New Year will always bring for a personal reset. The month of the Tiger will run from 10th February to 10th March, giving you time to get your bearings and get a feel for the Year of the Dragon and its influence. Not all years are created equal, but this year is one of the best but also the most unique in a 12-year lunar cycle.
Most years have a specific area of influence, as was the case with the lucrative Year of the Rabbit, which until it ends on 10th February has put the focus on enriching all the currencies in your life. When the Year of the Dragon ends on 29th January 2025 the Year of the Snake will begin and for the next 12 months this will put the focus on home, family and/or property matters. What sets the Year of the Dragon apart is that its influence is a lot broader, and it can have a positive impact on almost every aspect of your life. For the Tiger, the Dragon is the Swizz army knife of any lunar cycle, with a tool for every occasion.
The Dragon makes you smarter, allows you to become more mentally focused, better able to think on your feet, express yourself and think creatively. The Dragon also puts a lot of focus on communication, making this a Year that is going to have a positive impact and give every area and aspect of your life something to draw on. During the lucrative month of the Rabbit, from 10th March to 9th April you are likely to develop a smart head for money, during the month of the Snake which will run from 8th May to 7th June you will be able to make smart choices, decisions and plans on the home front and so on. On the relationship front, the Dragon can keep the communication lines open, while professionally you will find it easier to work smarter.
About the Tiger
The Tiger is warm, loving and dynamic. One is never bored in the company of a Tiger. They are independent and unpredictable. Tigers can sometimes be selfish in pursuit of fun for they are susceptible to being captured by sudden enthusiasm, causing them to alienate their friends. But they generally have great sympathies and understanding for others.
Tigers are aggressive and need to control their tempers. They always tell it like it is, but they are also intelligent and sensitive, so will be full of remorse if they upset you. Tigers are protective of their families and peers and often show great courage.
Tigers are brave and powerful. At times, they take risks to the point of recklessness. They can make hasty decisions without thinking of the possible consequences. Nevertheless, Tigers are natural born leaders and are often successful in money and career matters. But they do have a propensity to see-saw in triumphs and failures because of their rash behaviour.
In love, Tigers are highly emotional. They have a strong sex drive touched with good dose of sensuality. More likely to "sow wild oats" in they younger days than other signs, they do become more placid with age.
