Half-way through the year of the Metal Tiger!

So, we are nearly half-way through the vibrant and dynamic Metal Tiger year of 2010 (going through to 2011 but we don't want to think about that far off lol). So what should you have seen so far and what will can you expect?

Year of the Metal Tiger So Far
Well, the Metal Tiger is all about courage and quick-thinking and so this would have been a good time to make all the decisions you've been putting off over the previous years. You are likely to have seen situations that practically pushed you forward with these too, leaving little room to back out. With such pressure though, comes a few temperamental moods though so it's possible your temper has flared a few times - recognise this?!

The best way to counter these feelings is to make sure that you keep your eye on the main goal up ahead. By this time of the year you will start to get a clearer picture of what you want to achieve, even if it's just the seeds of a few ideas.

What's To Come in the Year of the Metal Tiger?
Achieving those goals! Career is likely to be the main benefactor of this new drive and energy but love or a renewed feeling of closeness in an existing relationship can follow. This is because you will be increasing your confidence and getting a better sense of who you are.

Love tends to thrive in these conditions and you will notice that you get more attention and there are more opportunities. You may feel there is an urge to jump in feet first but don't be too rash - take your time and don't let any one area of your life take over too much. You may feel like you want it all now, but you may not be ready for it all yet!

Daily Chinese Horoscope - 04/06/10

Here is Friday's daily Chinese horoscope!

Rat: Don't put unnecessary pressure on yourself by taking too much on. There is a danger that you'll spread yourself too thin.

Ox: There is a slightly more flamboyant air about you than is normal today. Make the most of it to point out the hard work and graft you normally put in!

Tiger: You may find it difficult to deal with colleagues today, particularly those who you are not exactly on friendly terms with. Patience is wearing thin but try all you can to not let arguments flair.

Rabbit: Keep an eye on your relationship today. If you notice that your partner is looking a little disgruntled or forlorn then you are not paying them enough attention. 

Dragon: Whatever you do today, do something different! You hate to be bored and can be unpleasant to be around when you are so let those vibrant energies out. 

Snake: The energies around you seem a bit tetchy and people will invariably feel far too close to you today. Just try not to say anything you'll regret. 

Horse: You're not known as a mediator at times of stress and tension but just make sure that you don't get caught up if emotions are running high. It's best to not take sides before you have calmly thought it all through.

Sheep: Social matters are high on your list of priorities today so you are gearing up for the weekend! You're going to have fun no matter what  - there's no stopping you :)

Monkey: This is a good day for new romances to blossom and intimacy to to develop. So keep an eye out for opportunities to flirt and see who shows to have had their eye on you. 

Rooster: Best to steer clear of romance today as there is an energy around you that is quite contrary and argumentative. So opt for activities that don't require conversation!

Dog: You aim to please in whatever you do but this can lead others to take advantage. So make sure that you check with yourself to see if what you're asked to do is really in your interests!

Boar: Today you need to claim your right to be at the centre of what you've worked for. Don't think of yourself as lesser, keep telling yourself that you are everyone's equal.

Chinese Love Horoscope

It's the Snake that wins the Chinese love horoscope vote for today - but only if you're in a relationship already. It's more common to see love forecasts for those who are single and looking for a bit of passion to come into their lives so actually it's nice to see a positive result for those snuggling down on the sofa together ;)

But stability and consistency rule the day for the Snake today in emotional matters so time to appreciate the one you love. 

Daily Chinese Horoscope - 01/06/10

With the bank holiday over, it's back to work for most of us. So what's the daily Chinese horoscope say for this rainy Tuesday! 

Rat: Today is not the day to jeopardise your rainy day fund so don't be tempted by any business or financial risks however good they might appear. 

Ox: There is an energy of success around you today so your efforts are going to go far! Don't get to distracted with the good feelings this brings on and you'll do even better ;)

Tiger: There is a risk of jealousy today so be careful to keep your cool if the green-eyed monster gives you a visit. It's really not likely to be as bad as you fear. 

Rabbit: You're going to have to be creative in getting past the 'blahs' today. There's not much happening and you're not feeling great. So take any little chance for light relief that you can. 

Dragon: If you're not sure what to do and feeling a bit all over the place, you may need to just give your brain a break. Do something uplifting or even physical instead. 

Snake: This is a time for stability and consistency. So if you are in a long term relationship, you will really be appreciating your good fortune at this time. If you're a singleton snake, you may not see too much action!

Horse: You may be restless and desperate to get started on something new today. But if you haven't finished what you were doing, you're not going to get too much support. 

Sheep: Don't get too serious about anything today. There is a lot of pressure on you but it may not be obvious that so much is being put upon you at first. Best to use your charm to deflect it all. 

Monkey: You're mind is running overtime - as its prone to doing - so you need to be really careful that you don't fall prey to stress and its complications. 

Rooster: Things seem on an even keel for you at the moment which is just as you like it. Remember that you don't need to LOOK for things to worry about!

Dog: If you're trying to make everyone happy today - don't bother. You're susceptible to be under fire whatever you do so you might as well make yourself happy. 

Boar: You have been feeling in the money lately. Just be careful that this doesn't make you feel invincible or that others don't try to take advantage of this. 

Chinese Love Horoscope

The Chinese love horoscope for today is with the Ox. There are so many open emotions to those born under this sign today so it's a time to get close to loved ones and attempt to get close to those you'd LIKE to be loved ones! 

Daily Chinese Horoscope - 31/05/10

Today's daily Chinese horoscope:

Rat: This is a day for listening and learning. Don't assume you know what's best and don't underestimate someone who could really help you see things from a new perspective. 

Ox: If you're off work today, make sure that you keep it that way! Focus on the more personal aspects of your life, particularly relationships or any potential ones. 

Tiger: You should listen to your inner feelings today, don't try to ignore them until they go away. It'll mean you feel ready to tackle the world again tomorrow. 

Rabbit: You can always be relied upon to sensitively deal with arguments and help people to calm down. If this becomes a problem today, you may not feel like stepping in, but it'll help resolve the issue much quicker if you do. 

Dragon: There is a very lively and upbeat energy around you today. So if you channel it into something productive, or just have a great time, it doesn't matter. All will go well whatever you choose!

Snake: If you've been feeling under-appreciated lately, you may need to prompt a little gratitude from your loved ones. It'll make you less grouchy!

Horse: Your full of ideas today and not inclined to wait to get stuck in turning them into a reality. As long as you don't rush, it'll do you the power of good to be productive. 

Sheep: Any old excuse to have fun - that's you! And there seems to be a particularly strong need to party today so why refrain. 

Monkey: Avoid anything repetitive or that's an old habit for you today. You need to get the creative juices flowing so do something unusual to get you thinking. 

Rooster: Don't let those controlling urges get the better of you. You like things to be done your way but this doesn't always go down too well with everyone else around you. 

Dog: You're likely to be susceptible to criticism today so don't let any negative comments get to you too much. If you do, your mood may spiral downwards to try to be tough. 

Boar: Today is not the day to take risks. You may be prone to thinking you're more ahead than you really are so don't over-extend yourself too soon. 

Daily Chinese Horoscope - 29/05/10

Bit of a rainy Saturday here today,  I hope it's better where you are! Here's today's daily Chinese horoscopes for you. 

Rat: If you are not sure that others are acting in your interest - they probably aren't. So dig deep to find the answers within today, you know better than anyone what's right for you. 

Ox: There is a sense of completion around you today, as if you need to accept something is drawing to a close and that it's time to go forwards. It can be hard to let go but there are many benefits in doing so. 

Tiger: Today is a good day for you to reach out to others or take on board what they say to you. Otherwise there is a danger that you may get a little self obsessed. 

Rabbit: There is a very happy and confident energy around you today and it seems that you can do no wrong in the eyes of others. Enjoy it to the max!

Dragon: Seeing as most Dragons wield a lot of social influence over the people around them, there are times when you need to be responsible for tensions or rows. Today is a day when you should try to smooth any differences. 

Snake: You mind appears sharp today and this brings out all your best qualities. So follow more intellectual pursuits a you will feel completely at home with yourself. 

Horse: Be careful of being flippant today. This particularly applies to romance and emotional matters as this could bring consequences further down the line. 

Sheep: There is a very flowing energy about you today. Things seem to effortlessly lead to something else and all seems right with the world!

Monkey: Don't be too hasty today. There is a restless feel to you and this may lead you to make decisions you would normally think risky. 

Rooster: Today has a feeling of problem solving today, which will please you no end. But it will work both ways - don't be too proud to accept the wisdom of others. 

Dog: You have been acting on instinct and enthusiasm lately. Now is the time to sit down and look over what's been achieved and start to be a little more organised about it all. 

Boar: You have a lot of talents due to your ability to see things in a variety of ways - you're an incredibly open thinker. Today is the day to let this show and display your versatility. 

Chinese Love Horoscope

Today's Chinese love horoscope is certainly with the Horse today! There is a great feeling of a new phase of life starting and finding new love is very possible. Those born under the Horse sign are always ready to let their feelings show so any connections made today have the potential to grow quickly to something quite special. 

Daily Chinese Horoscope - 28/05/10

Here is today's daily Chinese horoscope. It's a Friday, I'm sure there's something for you to look forward to in there ;)

Rat: You're going to need to be multi-talented today! You can't stick to what you know or like doing, you're going to need to try and cover as many bases as possible to avoid neglected areas that spoil your overall plan. 

Ox: You can be stubborn but this doesn't mean that you're heart isn't in the right place. Try to let others see this as they need to do know how much you care about what happens and how much you've put in already. 

Tiger: There is a strong feeling of empowerment with you today - it can cover all areas of your life so use it wisely! 

Rabbit: If you've been falling into too much of a routine with your home life lately, try to do something different to break the habit today. It will lift your spirits, but also those of people around you. 

Dragon: You like to let your hair down at every opportunity and seek out places where you can be noticed while you do so. It doesn't always work out that way, but the energies with you today show attention should be very favourable!

Snake: While you can more often than not rely on your skills of observation, you cannot read people's minds. There are times when you just have to talk openly and today it shows to be necessary. 

Horse: There is a very exciting energy around you today and there is a lot of potential for a new phase of your life starting! Emotions are running high so love is a great possibility if you are single. 

Sheep: Being as you can be a little materialistic, it can lead to a 'keeping up with the Joneses' mentality. But this is only taking the focus off you and what you need to be doing, so look inside for your motivation. 

Monkey: Keep the mind active today. You may feel that you just want to curl up on the sofa with a good book, or it may mean a lively discussion with a friend. Just get that mind working!

Rooster: You're very sociable today and it'll be a pleasure for you to reconnect with some friends that you haven't seen for a while. So let that chatty mood take over!

Dog: You like a cause and today seems to bring you one. Nothing major but just a great chance to show your support for those who truly matter to you. 

Boar: You've been working hard lately and even though you haven't seen the rewards as yet, you will. So try to take this time over the weekend to do what you want to do, if possible. 

Chinese Horoscope Compatibility

Who do you match with best in your love life? Do you find that there are certain characteristics that you are always drawn to? You may be surprised to learn that Chinese horoscope compatibility may be able to offer you some insight to why you are drawn to who you are! 

So who, in the Chinese horoscope compatibility charts, do you match well with? 

Chinese horoscope compatibility - First Triangle of Affinity

Those born under the Chinese signs of the Rat, the Dragon and the Monkey. The characteristics that these vibrant personalities have in common is that they are all very energetic and driven. They like to have success in their careers and will want to have financial rewards for their efforts. They will not hold back from displaying their good fortune to the world! 

In love they can be very supportive and like to ensure that their loved ones have all they need. But they can also be demanding and need plenty of attention and reassurance. When they get together, these signs will offer lots of fun and occasionally, passionate rows!

Chinese horoscope compatibility - Second Triangle of Affinity

This includes those born under the Chinese signs of the Ox, the Snake and the Rooster. What these signs have in common is their reliability and their logical, one might say unemotional, thinking. They are solid, hard workers and believe firmly in no pain, no gain. But they are also deep thinkers too and often can include reading, art and theatre amongst their hobbies. 

In love, they can sometimes be hard to fathom. They tend to show they care by offering practical help rather than with grand displays. But they will always be there for someone they care about. Together, they are extremely loyal couplings!

Chinese horoscope compatibility - Third Triangle of Affinity

The third triangle of affinity is the Chinese signs of the Tiger, the Horse and the Dog. They are honest and open in their nature so people feel very relaxed in their company. They prefer to act on their instincts, which can be very tuned in to others' feelings and situations. 

In love they are expressive and like the object of their desire to feel desired and special. They have been known to be a little fickle though. When they get together, people of these signs tend to fall head over heels quickly to the exclusion of everyone else in their lives!

Chinese horoscope compatibility - Fourth Triangle of Affinity

The fourth triangle of affinity is those born under the Chinese signs of the Rabbit, the Sheep and the Boar. They are kind, thoughtful and tend to put manners before ambition. That said, they are very loyal too so do make good workers and have every chance of doing well for themselves, career-wise. 

In love they are at times a little flighty and possibly needy. But they otherwise make perfect partners as they are both dedicated to their partners and able to show their true and deepest feelings. When they get into relationships with one another, all of their emotional needs will be met and the chemistry remains long term. 

Chinese Love Horoscope

Today's Chinese love horoscope would have to go to the Rabbit! Kind and sensitive in nature, the typical Rabbit feels love but isn't always the first to display these feelings. So when a more encouraging energy comes around those born under the sign of the Rabbit, it's a nice release to let the love and affection out. 

Daily Chinese Horoscope - 27/05/10

Today's daily Chinese horoscope:

Rat: Today would be a good day for you to let out your thoughtful and giving side. It will help you to see past the trivial stresses that have been building up for you lately. 

Ox: Those born under the sign of the Ox are usually happiest with a plan but it seems you have a very creative energy about you today. Go with it - you never know, you might like it!

Tiger: You seem to hit a brick wall with everything you try today so it could be a frustrating time if you don't have any plan Bs. Being innovative is could be your only way past the problems.

Rabbit: It's a good day for you to socialise and make the most of the more gregarious qualities about you today. You never know, you might make a new friend along the way!

Dragon: Most Dragons cannot resist the temptation to be centre of attention. So you may need to ask yourself today - are you really wanting to oppose the issue, or are you just wanting everyone to look at you?!

Snake: Try to do something a bit different today. It will help you to see things from another angle and could lead to a eureka moment. 

Horse: Sometimes your feelings can run out of control and even though this doesn't happen every day, people tend to remember the times when this happens. You may find today is one of those days when you notice this!

Sheep: You are drawn to the finer things in life but today you may feel even more so than usual. If you feel the temptation is just too much, consider going for a compromise? It'll stop you having regrets later. 

Monkey: If  you are feeling frustrated because of the attitudes of other people today, you may need to try and put yourself in their shoes. Could it be that you're missing something important? 

Rooster: If you've been focusing on your plans or financial matter a lot recently - and as a pedantic Rooster this would be quite likely - your family, friends and loved ones may be feeling a little neglected. 

Dog: You have put a lot of effort into your work or business plans lately but family and partners are likely to be feeling left out so a little TLC is in order. 

Boar: There's nothing wrong with plodding along - fortunately for you! Don't feel under pressure to dazzle or to rush, you will be rewarded with greater stability in the long run. 

Confucious Quote

"Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it."

Confucious

Chinese Love Horoscope

Today, the Chinese love horoscope would have to be with the Monkey. There is a lovely openness to their emotional energies today and any minor issues will melt away when addressed in their charming and persuasive manner. So if you're born under the sign of the Monkey, give that cheeky grin of yours as much as you can today - it's a winner!

Daily Chinese Horoscope - 26/05/10

Today's daily Chinese Horoscope. 

Rat: You may have been slowed down by stress lately but your quickness of mind and thought returns to you at last. You'll be feeling yourself again!

Ox: A great and tempting opportunity may come along today, but think twice about whether you can realistically commit to it. 

Tiger: Some recent success has left you with the feeling that you can do anything - which is largely true - but try to stick to what you know you're good at. You're talented but not invincible. 

Rabbit: Getting organised today will not only get a load off your mind but also help you come up with a few new ideas along the way. 

Dragon: You can really instill confidence in people when you talk. Use this to your advantage today, not only for yourself but for the team of people around you. 

Snake: It may seem like your coming up with ideas off the cuff but in fact you are likely to have been working at this for some time. But no one needs to know that ;)

Horse: You could be feeling fenced in today and will not be liking this at all. So look for any opportunity to break free, even if it's only in a small way. It'll stop you from getting snappy. 

Sheep: You are very sociable and sometimes led by the wrong people. So if you are feeling something is a little wrong with some acquaintances (rather than friends) than think over whether you actually need them around. 

Monkey: There is a very strong energy around you today so you are not likely to struggle with work, relationships or life in general. A good day to work through any small niggle that you have too!

Rooster: There shows to be some setbacks around you today and this may irritate you as it scuppers your plans. But never fear, there are some benefits likely to show later. 

Dog: You're much more clear headed today and you've got success in your sights again. Time to make some tangible progress though. 

Boar: If you want something to happen, you need to make it so. You know this deep down but sometimes get distracted. Focus on the long term goal today. 

Daily Chinese Love Horoscope - 25/05/10

Today's Chinese love horoscope is going to be split between the Ox and the Tiger! The Ox has a great energy for meeting someone new and the Tiger should be looking closer at those he or she already knows for strong connections they might have missed. Both very different influences but both equally interesting in terms of finding love!

Daily Chinese Love Horoscope - 25/05/10

Not so sunny here today, so let's see what your daily Chinese horoscope can do to lift your spirits!

Rat: Family and close friends are extremely important to you and you hate to see them get into strife. But losing your temper won't help so try to stick to thinking through solutions to their problems. 

Ox: Love is in the air for those born under the sign of the Ox today! It is particularly good for new love so if there is someone you've been watching from afar lately, get a little closer and make the most of your irresistible charms!

Tiger: If you are looking for love at the moment, you may find that you have been ignoring those around you in favour of meeting someone new. Take a second look. 

Rabbit: Not everyone is as good at picking up on the subtleties of what's happening as you are. You may find yourself falling behind at work because you're not singing your own praises enough. 

Dragon: You may be feeling under par today as there is a tired and listless energy about you today. So give your health a bit of a boost if you can.

Snake: Now is the time to be extra cautious when it comes to making any important decisions. Your focus isn't quite as it should be and there is a danger you'll miss something important.

Horse: Face it, life can be a bit boring sometimes. Even if you've been living it up - in face ESPECIALLY if you've been living it up - you need to get the little, niggly jobs done. 

Sheep: Today you are finding your way with people to be a real plus. Use it for work or for pleasure but make sure you get all you can from it!

Monkey: You've not been on form lately, and you've probably been finding yourself having to work extra hard to get what you want. But this should change for you today and you will find yourself back to your winning ways.

Rooster: You are full of ideas today - nothing unusual about that. You may find that you're a bit ahead of your time though, and others may not share your enthusiasm. So be prepared to go it alone. 

Dog: You've been working hard lately and it seems that things have not quite gone as well as you expected. Don't let doubts creep in and undo all your efforts. 

Boar: You may find it hard to concentrate today. If it's possible to take the day off, it may be wise!

Daily Chinese Love Horoscope - 24/05/10

Today's Chinese love horoscope most definitely has to go to the Boar! There is a wonderful, creative energy to those born under this sign today and so love would most certainly be enhanced by such exciting vibes. If you are single, this is a particularly good day to go a-charming ;)

If you are not, then you probably can't go wrong with a bit of flirtation with your partner to bring back the spark. 

Daily Chinese Love Horoscope - 24/05/10

Another lovely day today - shame it's got to be a Monday that isn't a bank holiday :( Here's today's daily Chinese horoscope. 

Rat: Try to set some boundaries today. Relationships, friendship or work colleagues alike - there is a feeling of confusion and of not knowing if people are crossing the line. So define it first, then it'll be less confusing. 

Ox: Hopefully you are refreshed from a weekend of relaxing?! Well, today there shows to be a productive energy with you so you can get a lot done today if left to your own devices. 

Tiger: You can be such a bold and lively character and this is why people like you. But it can be hard to curb the excesses of this side of you. But try you must today or else it could cause problems later on. 

Rabbit: Don't try to keep the peace by holding back your own thoughts. It will only lead to the other person feeling confused. So without losing your temper, be brave and speak up. 

Dragon: Today is not the day to act on instinct - which will frustrate you no end. Think everything through carefully, paying particular attention to anything you left undone a few weeks ago. 

Snake: It's back to plotting for you today! You like to feel like you have a plan and this is a good time to start a new project - so scheme away. 

Horse: You are both intuitive and good at picking up on the thoughts and feelings of others. However, sometimes it's difficult to distinguish your feelings from theirs though so take time for yourself if you feel pulled in many directions. 

Sheep: If there has been something niggling you lately, why don't you follow this feeling and see where it's taking you? It's probably bothering you for a reason. 

Monkey: Your famous/infamous charm doesn't seem to be working as well as it usually is today. So best not to cross any lines with anyone, just let them have their way. 

Rooster: Be careful that tempers don't flair today. You know that you only want to see things done properly, others may just feel your bullying them. 

Dog: You've been putting a lot into business or work lately so today is better served spending time with the family. They'll thank you for it. 

Boar: There is a very vibrant energy around you today and you are feeling creative and innovative. So use this to the full as some great ideas for long term projects can come of today too. 

Daily Chinese Love Horoscope - 23/05/10

The Chinese love horoscope for today most certainly has to go to the Ox! Those born under the sign of the Ox are not generally known for their romantic gestures but today they will thrive in intimate and close conversations. People will want to get close just to feel special - so it's a two way thing! 

Daily Chinese Horoscope - 23/05/10

It's a glorious SUNday here, hope it's the same where you are. Here's today's daily Chinese horoscope. 

Rat: You will be surprised to find out that people have already sussed how you are feeling and will have no problem with you opening up and leaning on them a little. That's what friends are for. 

Ox: There is a need to spend some real quality one to one time with someone today. Enjoy a luxurious, intimate chat!

Tiger: You may well know you're right, but other people are unlikely to consider that such an important matter as you! Try to be a little bit gracious. 

Rabbit: You are a very sensitive soul and this will be appreciated by someone today. A few wise words to show you understand their predicament will be all that's needed. 

Dragon: You like a good cause and today is just the day for you to share your talents in getting things done. You'll feel great about yourself and it will really make a difference to others. 

Snake: You like to use gentle persuasion to get what you want from others. But sometimes some old-fashioned telling it like it is is required. You may be surprised how well it works. 

Horse: It's looking like it'll be a busy day for you today but you'll be in your element as it means you'll be charging around and showing off all your strongest skills. 

Sheep: You like to have fun and socialise and today shows to bring a few opportunities to do just that. Is there any reason to not join in?!

Monkey: Your mind is so full of ideas today you just don't know what to do. So let it all out and you will feel in explaining it all, it starts to make more sense. 

Rooster: Things don't always stay the same, and for you this always seems a bit messy. But there is no point in blaming others, it's just the way it is!

Dog: It's been a pretty good time for you lately and you've been feeling the world is your oyster. But this may also mean that you've been bombarded with feelings you don't know how to handle. Try to break it all down and make it more manageable. 

Boar: Sometimes, sitting there thinking about it all can just make your head spin and achieve very little else. So actually, why don't you just stop thinking about it and see what comes to you!

Daily Chinese Horoscope - 22/05/10

Here is today's daily Chinese horoscope - hope it reaches you on a nice, sunny day!

Rat: Don't overdo it at the moment. There's been a lot of pressure on you lately and it's time to acknowledge that you're only human and need to rest every now and then. 

Ox: You are always respected by colleagues and family alike for being a real team player. You'll always chip in and do your bit - and then some! Today, it seems you are going to get a little recognition for this. 

Tiger: Don't be too quick to speak or act today. There is an impulsive side to your nature just waiting to get you into trouble to keep an eye on it. 

Rabbit: You are feeling good about yourself today, which isn't always the case for the worrier Rabbit! So enjoy the feeling as it's well deserved. 

Dragon: If something seems boring or laborious then you tend to lose interest., You're much more interested in the grander, more exciting projects. But you can't always have it your own way so try to get those boring tasks out of the way. 

Snake: Today you need to listen to friends and family who tell you to loosen up a bit. Have fun, it's a Saturday!

Horse: When it comes to feelings, you don't do things by halves so unsurprisingly, love is something of an obsession for you today. Just don't overwhelm the object of your desires. 

Sheep: You can be a bit flighty and so today you will need to make sure that you are not seen to be uncaring or avoiding your responsibilities. 

Monkey: You're mind is always working overtime so sometimes it's good for those born under the monkey sign to instead turn to physical activities to burn off nervous energy. 

Rooster: There's a lot that needs doing today. No doubt you volunteered to get it done in the first place but just don't let the stress get to you and make you snappy. 

Dog: There is a very sensual feeling around you today, you are enjoying touch and physicality. This is just the time for you to explore your feelings fully. 

Boar: You do like to give people the benefit of the doubt but this is not always too wise. Best to try and buy yourself some time to think about what you really should do.

Daily Chinese Love Horoscope - 20/05/10

Today's Chinese love horoscope would certainly be the Dog - who seems to be having a good time of it lately! Today you are likely to be feeling relaxed and confident and that just adds to your many charms. Enjoy the feeling of being popular and not having to try too hard ;)

Daily Chinese Horoscope - 20/05/10

Today's daily Chinese horoscope.

Rat: You are very shrewd usually but today you'll need to be extra alert. Investigate all offers made to you thoroughly. 

Ox: If there's one thing you thrive on, it's stability and generally work hard to maintain it. But with the best will in the world, you can't always have what you want and today will be a bit rocky. 

Tiger: Love is a tricky area for you today. You can sometimes speak without thinking, but if you want to avoid trouble later, maybe hold back and be more tactful!

Rabbit: If you often don't speak out for fear of being accused of over-thinking then today you need to put these fears to one side. Your thoughtful opinions are needed. 

Dragon: Seek out those friends that you know you can rely on to tell you the truth today. It's not a time to skirt around the issues. 

Snake: Keep an eye on your money situation today. There are some gaps in your plans that need some attention.

Horse: Being so intuitive, you pick up on vibes and feelings very easily. Something around you makes you feel uneasy today but try not to get too involved.

Sheep: If there's one thing those born under the sign of the Sheep like, it's a bit of reckless fun! So why not just go ahead and let your hair down :)

Monkey: Emotional connections are where your focus should be today. Don't shut people out, take their gestures as the warm hearted symbols of their affection they're meant to be. 

Rooster: Your plans may go awry today and there is nothing you can do about it. Best then to try and make do and see if there's anything you can salvage for the day. 

Dog: You are likely to be feeling great and ready to take on the world today. Pleasant to be around, you may find others come to you just to bathe in your relaxing energies!

Boar: If your mind is all over the place today, then try to focus on something smaller and then build it up from there. It'll give you the sense of purpose that you seem to be lacking. 

Daily Chinese Love Horoscope

The Chinese love horoscope award for today goes to......the Tiger!! 

It is the day for connections if you are born under the Chinese sign of the Tiger. You will find that friends are drawn to you, people generally feel able to open up to you and there will be an ease in communication. All of this is very conducive to forming a romantic relationship so if there's someone you've taken a shine to, now is the time to get their attention. 

Daily Chinese Horoscope - 18/05/10

Your daily Chinese horoscope - hope it's good for your birth sign!

Rat: There is instability around you today, and this will go against your usually planned and organised routine. You won't be able to tolerate it so you may as well investigate to see where the problem lies. 

Ox: You like to think that life goes in a straight line - you work hard and then reap the benefits. Unfortunately, it's not always so simple and today is going to be one those unfair days. 

Tiger: It's all about friends for you today. You seem to be in demand and will not be short of offers to have some fun!

Rabbit: Today you should focus on physical activities. Not only will it make you feel good, it will also help to clear your mind. 

Dragon: Home is where the heart is for you today - or at least it should be. If you've been enjoyed your social life a little too much lately, those at home (or close to you) are likely to be feeling a little neglected. 

Snake: Talking should be on your agenda today as you have been bottling things up too much lately. You will feel like a weight has been lifted afterwards. 

Horse: You just don't feel like you're connecting today, nothing really grabs you. But not everything has to appeal on an emotional level so don't miss out on something important. 

Sheep: You could be feeling a little fragile emotionally today as there is a very draining energy around you today. It will pass so try not to take it too personally. 

Monkey: It's time to stop planning and thinking about what you're going to do - and just do it! You'll learn so much when you do. 

Rooster: You like systems; anything that helps to create order out of chaos. Be very careful that you're not overly reliant on them today though, always have a plan B. 

Dog: When you get in a mood, everyone else knows about it. Don't be surprised if people tend to make their excuses and leave you be today. 

Boar: Today is the day to clear out the past and focus on the future. Don't let emotional baggage hold you back. 

Chinese Love Horoscope

Today is certainly the Dragon's day for love! It is particularly good for the single Dragon as there is a strong energy for new beginnings, power behind new relationships. In fact a romance that starts today shows promise for a happy and long term one! 

If you are already in a relationship however, you don't have to miss out. Think of something you really want to happen or something new you feel you and your partner should be doing together. There's a good chance you're going to succeed in bringing back the spark. 

Daily Chinese Horoscope - 17/05/10

Today's daily Chinese horoscope - hope it goes someway to helping those Monday blues. 

Rat: You are never one to shirk your responsibilities to family and friends. But today you need to think about whether you are helping or contributing to the problem.

Ox: You'll be at loggerheads with people today if you're not careful. There's something about the energies around you that just doesn't go down well so it's best to remain quiet!

Tiger: You are sociable by nature but don't let this mean you let people into your inner circles before you check out their credentials. Not everyone is as they appear. 

Rabbit: Don't rush your tasks, however much you might feel pressured. It is highly likely that the pressure isn't as real as you think, it's YOU that's making it seem so.

Dragon: Love is the main energy in your life today - there is a real strength to any romantic connections that are made today. So don't be shy (as if you ever are!), get flirting ;)

Snake: Mostly you like to operate beneath the radar. It gives you the perfect vantage point for working out what others are up to. Today, however you want some praise, so the only option is to put your head up and be noticed. 

Horse: Gossip is a bit of a weakness of yours - it just feels so good! But you really must think about the consequences of what you say. You'll be sorry if you genuinely hurt someone's feelings. 

Sheep: You are not one to like heavy conversations and prefer fun and frivolity. But not everyone is the same so be careful what conversations you wade into today, you may find you're out of your depth and it gets out of hand. 

Monkey: You are in a very emotional state today so try to ensure that you use it to get closer to those you care about, to share honest feelings. Whatever you do, don't push them away by being overly needy. 

Rooster: If you've been blaming other people a lot lately, you are going to notice the effects of it today. Introspection is needed, you're likely to find you have been more at fault than you thought. 

Dog: There is a draw towards all things new for you today. Habits and patterns will annoy you, it's new experiences you want. It may be a bit of a gamble but you may actually do well from it!

Boar: You're not feeling too good about yourself today and particularly memories of the past are coming back to haunt you. Try to be realistic though, don't punish yourself for the sake of it. 

Daily Chinese Horoscope - 16/05/10

A lovely, relaxing Sunday - hope your daily Chinese horoscope doesn't change that! 

Rat: I mentioned above that it was a relaxing Sunday and you may need to take heed of that! Today you seem antsy and it will lead you to doing something you'll regret if you're not careful. Try to channel it wisely. 

Ox: If your mind isn't on the task at hand, you'll be grafting away for nothing. Try to enjoy what you're doing more, or just give yourself a break every now and then, you determined Ox, you!

Tiger: Something about the past seems to be calling you at the moment. Just be careful that it doesn't set you back and stop you from moving forwards. 

Rabbit: You don't like to make a fuss when times are a bit difficult, but it doesn't mean that your loved ones don't notice. You seem to be getting surprise support today. 

Dragon: If work has been stressful lately, try to take the chance to grab a break today if you can. You aren't changing anything by thinking about it day and night - just tiring yourself out. 

Snake: If people around you call for you to join in with something you don't want to or didn't agree to, try to speak up about it. They'll be more inclined to change than you think. 

Horse: You need to have a goal today, it will help you to make strides in something you've been really trying to succeed in for a while now. 

Sheep: A good way to take your mind off what's worrying you is to get active. Work off some of that nervous tension your carrying around and you will feel 10 times better!

Monkey: You have a very keen eye for an opportunity but sometimes your ambition can lead you to bite off more than you can chew. Check your diary before you make any commitments. 

Dog: You've had plenty of attention lately, you don't have to have it all the time! Take a step sideways and let someone else have their moment. 

Boar: There is a bit of a low energy around you today and so you shouldn't try to fake jollity in the company of others. If you can spend some time on your own, all the better. 

Daily Chinese Horoscope - 15/05/10

Daily Chinese horoscope - hoping for a good Saturday? Here's where you find out!

Rat: The weekend feeling is truly with those born under the sign of the Rat today - you want to have fun and relax and nothing will stop you! Just do it and don't feel guilty :)

Ox: Another one hit by the weekend bug, you will not be in the mood to get much done. But for you, this is a foreign feeling! Just relax and make the most of the time for recuperation. 

Tiger: Whatever you've been avoiding, bite the bullet and sort it out today. If it's making contact with someone then you are likely to find it a bit of a struggle at first, but after, you'll be glad you did it. 

Rabbit: If you feel a situation is unfair, don't sit there hoping it will go away. The chances are  it won't, this seems to be something you need to address directly to prevent it getting worse. 

Dragon: Today is a day for friends and family and you seem to be centre of attention today. If you have been having a bad time recently, this will help you stock up on warm feelings of being loved for some while. 

Snake: You may be feeling a bit run down today and starting to realise that you need to take care of yourself a little better. Time to rethink your plans and strategies methinks! 

Horse: Your impetuous nature can get you into trouble sometimes and today could be one of those times. There is even more of a reckless side to you at the moment and you'll need to work extra hard to avoid saying something tactless. 

Sheep: You are generally a very light and fun person but today you are really bouncy and full of beans! You'll have no problems with people today as you'll be carrying them along with your infectious mood. So if there's someone you particularly want to influence.....

Monkey: You've been trying to work out what to do about something for a while now and haven't realised that the answer has been right under your nose all along. Sometimes the simple solutions are the best. 

Rooster: Those born under the sign of the Rooster are the most in need of the weekend feeling - but don't seem to be showing any signs of feeling it. You don't need to feel guilty about letting your hair down, the world will still be there when you get back to trying to run it!

Dog: There is something happening in your life that has grabbed your attention, and has done for a few weeks now. Today you will need to sit down and work out some of the more boring solutions. Come Monday, you'll be glad you did it. 

Boar: Love, relationships and romance are at the forefront of your mind today. So use these flirty energies to boost your confidence and make you feel a little better about yourself. 

David Cameron's year ahead in Chinese Astrology

As all of us in the UK know, David Cameron is the new Prime Minister and has a difficult time ahead of him controlling a coalition government! I looked at the Leader's Debates before so I thought I'd take a peek at how this year is looking for him, as someone born in under the sign of the Fire Horse. 

David Cameron (Fire Horse) in the Year of the Metal Tiger

Seeing as David Cameron is a Fire Horse, he will do well in 2010, the year of the Metal Tiger - but it won't be perfect for him. The Horse and the Tiger are very compatible and so he will find that he has more energy that unusual and that his endeavours will prove more successful. There is a feeling of harmony and wholeness around him. 

This would make it an excellent time for making allies and for career advancement - although it doesn't mean that he'll make it to king! But it does show that some of the fears of rivalries from his side may be over-stated. He will be seeking to get people on side and will be more inclined to use honesty and straight-talking than coercion.

But the Metal part of 2010 is more problematic for David. Fire melts metal and so he needs to avoid being impetuous, lest he burn bridges or watches genuine opportunities go up in flames! 

Overall though, I see some real potential for David Cameron this year. If he can keep his focus on what he wants to do, he will look back on this year as a good one. 

Daily Chinese Horoscope - 14/05/10

Here is today's daily Chinese horoscope. Hope it gives you a good Friday feeling!

Rabbit: It may be Friday but there is still lots for you to do today! If you get it all done, then you'll be able to relax and have fun all the sooner. 

Dragon: There's been a feeling growing within you for some time now and it's at risk of taking over today - but don't give in the need to spend! You are extravagant by nature, but you still need to watch the pennies. 

Snake: You may have been watching a friend or family member for some time now and wondering if they are ok. It seems that today would be the day that they turn to you for support.

Sheep: You devil-may-care attitude to life often disturbs the more sensible of your friends. Today is the day for you to show that taking the odd risk can pay off!

Rat: There is quite a lot of tension with you today so you need to look at ways to ease this before you say something you regret.

Boar: You appreciate the finer things in life and so today would be just the right day to gravitate towards what you appreciate. Be it wine, literature or theatre, enjoy the luxury of it all!

Tiger: Unless there is anything particularly pressing today, it's not a good time to make important decisions or to even think big projects through. Just leave it until you're more in the mood.

Rabbit: I've one thing only to say to all you Rabbits today. Boring tasks MUST be done - so you might as well just go and get started!

Dragon: You love flamboyance and you'll always be looking for ways to liven up any situation or project. But plain old substance, not style, is the name of the game today.
