tiger+monkey=A bumpy ride...

ohh.
Year of the Tiger.

Too much change in such a short period of time.

I was afraid of this.

read along with me...

The Chinese Year of the Tiger will result in tremendous strokes of luck for the Monkey. Golden opportunities will appear out of the blue, and you need to be ready to seize them. You may get an opportunity to study abroad, stage a play, return to school or get a dream job. The sky is the limit in 2010. The one problem you will face is lack of time. You'll be so busy working, playing and creating that you'll have few opportunities to rest and relax. When you feel overwhelmed, ask friends to help you with chores and housework. They'll be happy to come to your assistance for a change.

Your family will undergo some radical changes, and you need to be prepared to assume the responsibilities of a sibling, spouse or parent who is called away on other business. A period of adjustment will ensue and a few arguments will break out. It takes time to break old habits and establish new routines. Be willing to rearrange rooms in order to accommodate your new lifestyle. "Out with the old and in with the new" should be every Monkey's motto in the Chinese Year of the Tiger.

Your work life will also experience seismic shifts. It's critical to maintain good relationships with your colleagues throughout 2010. Refuse to get drawn into office politics. By mid-year, the atmosphere may become so tense that your boss will be required to reorganize the entire team. You'll have some good suggestions for rearranging things, so warring parties won't have to deal with each other anymore.

LOVE

You need to be utterly scrupulous as far as your love life is concerned, dear Monkey. Scandals have a way of popping up during the Year of the Tiger. If you're tempted to stray from a committed relationship, either seek couples counseling or break things off altogether. Cheating will come back to haunt you. A flirtatious admirer who tries to tempt you away from your partner can't be trusted. Yes, it's flattering to get all of this attention, but in the end, you'll be glad you stayed away from this rogue.

Single Monkeys are better off focusing on their social life than pursuing romance, according to your Chinese compatibility horoscope. The Year of the Tiger could put a heartbreaker in your path. If you do happen to get swept off your feet by a silver-tongued devil, be prepared for a big shock. It may develop this admirer is juggling several relationships. Hold out until next year, when prospects for a steadfast lover will be better.

MONEY

Monkeys need to be careful about impulse purchases in the Chinese Year of the Metal Tiger. This isn't the best time to buy expensive status symbols and flashy clothes. The demands of your social life could put a serious dent in your savings, too. By putting yourself on a budget, you'll avoid the pitfalls many other Monkeys will experience in this frenetic year.

If you want to change jobs, plan to do so in the second half of the year, when your prospects will be strong. Limit your search to your current field; 2010 is not the time to switch industries. A job offer could require you to relocate. Although the idea of moving away from friends and family is upsetting, you will be glad you accepted this position. It looks as though you'll be able to make significant headway in your career. In addition, you'll meet some great new people who appreciate your unique outlook and talents.

I was afraid of this for so many many reasons...
