YEAR OF THE TIGER - BEAUTY FORECAST

The Tiger is a charismatic symbol of beauty and power. Since the Tiger greatly influences innovations and technical progress, the world of skin care and cosmetics can expect to see many new scientific advances offering new ways to accomplish complexion perfection. The Tigress represents on-the-prowl-drama-queen glamor with an emphasis on function and speed. These traits place a demand for no-fuss, no-muss beauty. This big-cat beauty trend will also see sleek and convenient product packaging this year.

The Tiger is known to be notoriously moody with a hair trigger temper. That said, don't be surprised when psychology and cosmetics pair up as their own dynamic duo and market a wide variety of mood enhancing skin care and makeup, a.k.a. neurocosmetics. These products incorporate ingredients to nourish the skin while balancing temperaments through calming, or stimulating, the neurotransmitters in the brain. Aromatherapy (scent), chromotherapy (color), and vitamins are being formulated in the beauty market to effectively alter moods, increase or decrease energy levels, reduce stress, and add a sense of well-being to an otherwise rip-roaring day. Mood boosting beauty? You bet!

Tigers sprawl out and lounge all day long on the banks of rivers, ponds, and lakes. These lazy sunbathers may not need protection from the sun, but we do. Sun protection technology will offer all of us more time to luxuriate safely in the great outdoors. A solid overall health care routine is essential to boost and maintain energy since the height of all feline activity is during the day. Tigers engage in storage eating . . . binging one full day and then cutting back for the balance of the week to keep trim and lean. Take notice of these ferocious felines and enjoy a feast-fest one day a week and then focus on a healthy eating program. At the end of each day, choose great night care products to do the heavy lifting while you get your beauty sleep and rest up for life's daily hunt.

Change is the name of the Tiger's game. It is a perfect time to personally switch things up, get a new hairdo, investigate a new color palette, shape new brows, and most definitely upgrade your skin care. Throw out the old things that no longer do the trick anymore. Bright, bold colors, smokey eyes, tiger stripe eyeliners, sleek looks are very much the beauty focus of this year. The year of the Tiger is not a year to be part of the pack . . . no . . . Tigers are too independent to blend into a crowd. They prefer a more solitary lifestyle or will roam in small gatherings. 2010 is the year where identifying your own individuality is key. In true form, no two tigers are exactly alike. Singular purrrrrfection!

THE YEAR OF THE TIGER - PERSONAL FORECAST

The Tiger is born to lead. Commanding and bold, warm hearted and fearsome, charming and charismatic, honest and dynamic, independent and determined, exciting and adventurous, authoritative and clever. Tigers are known for their sharpness and speed, and are always courageous in the face of danger. The cat's counter productive behavior? Short-tempered, stubborn, disobedient.

Last year's plodding and careful cultivation of the Ox is definitely a thing of the past. The Tiger brings rapid change, and with that comes a bit of turbulence. Flexibility and adaptability are key to surviving the quick pace of the year under the Tiger's influence. Opportunities will quickly come and go. Strong instincts and energy will be required to effectively seize the moment. Businesses will succeed when led by rigorous determination, strategic planning and uncompromising follow-through.

The 2010 Tiger will be a year of new beginnings, change, and renewal. It presents a year of high energy, technical advances, innovations and a level of unpredictability that always leads to a little drama. Although restlessness may be rampant, the Tiger's optimistic nature and fighting spirit keeps the ball rolling in the right direction. This year presents a unique opportunity to attack difficult personal issues with courage and passion, and successfully accomplish difficult challenges. Tigers tend to be a little more reactive than proactive, so it is important to realize this is not the year for spontaneous reactions, but one for thoughtful actions. Big cat instincts and the readiness to leap must be replaced with mindful timing. During 2010, it is far better to sit back in the weeds and wait rather than attacking each situation. The theme of this year? Ponder before you pounce.

CHINESE NEW YEAR - THE YEAR OF THE TIGER

February 14th 2010 - February 6th, 2011

I am the delightful Paradox.
All the world is my stage.
I set new trails ablaze, I seek the unattainable, and try the untried.
I dance to life's music in gay abandon.
Come with me on my carousel rides.
See the myriad of colors, the flickering lights.
All hail me the unparalleled performer.
I AM THE TIGER.
