Money for the Tiger

It's time to take control of your finances. The Earth Ox year demands that you think about paying off debts, or at least paring them down. If you're in serious trouble, consider contacting a credit management agency to consolidate your loans and reduce your interest rate. The lavish lifestyle you enjoy will likely have to be scaled back in 2009.

As far as work is concerned, you will probably need to apply yourself to make money. When given a choice between getting a flat salary and earning a commission, think about choosing the latter. You could be especially successful if your career involves entertainment, hospitality or medicine. Alternately, you could yield impressive profits in menswear. It may be necessary to deal with a bossy authority figure this year, realizing that you probably won't be in the driver's seat in 2009. Contact sports can provide an outlet for your career frustrations.

Love for the Tiger

If you're going to experience happiness in your love life, you'll need to manage your temper. The Year of the Earth Ox emphasizes patience, which is not really your strong suit. Nevertheless, if you learn how to put your needs aside for the sake of your partner, you'll go a long way toward forging a happy relationship. Getting counseling may be a good move for you, especially if you have trouble coming to terms with anger issues that have dogged you since childhood.

If you're single, it may be best to play the field this year. You'll have an interesting array of suitors between February and July. Treat this period as an opportunity to experiment with all different kinds of relationships. By the time 2010 rolls around, you'll be ready to make a serious commitment.
