Slumdog Millionaire, the acclaimed film of director Danny Boyle, has just brought Boyle Best Director at The Critics' Choice Award and The Chicago Film Critics Association, as well as the Golden Globe award. With this success, Danny Boyle has one hand touching the Oscar.

Boyle was born on October 20, 1956; His primary personality traits are represented by the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal sign, the Fire Monkey. According to Chinese Astrology, his Fire element makes him among the most confrontational of the Monkeys. He can find the extra Fire energy useful to satisfy his Monkey desire to control his surroundings, a desire often fueled by jealousy. These characteristics are true of people born from February 12, 1956 to January 30, 1957.

What’s in the Chinese Astrology cards for Boyle in the Earth Ox Year 2009? Earth Oxen not only think they are better; they believe they were born to lead others, to teach the poor things how to live, and sometimes even to push them around like pawns on the chessboard of life.

Monkey’s taste for the new and untried can irritate the Ox and he butts heads with the immoveable Ox temperament. But Oxen can also use some of Monkey’s twitchy energy. So Monkey should hop aboard the Ox’s strong back and lumber through this year at the Ox’s unhurried pace. The Ox Year can protect a Monkey like Boyle from himself, and may even prevent heart problems by slowing him down and causing him to take a good look at certain behind-the-scenes complaints.

In the spring of 2009, a rather hair-raising event will occur in Boyle’s life. This occurrence won't happen directly to him but whatever it will be, it will hurt.  But not to worry, it too shall pass.

Monkey is a gentle con-artist whose gift of gab delights and surprises his entourage. Boyle’s is not a restful sign. He is attracted to motion for its own sake. Sometimes he travels to new territories merely to soak up different vibrations or to meet an unusual challenge. Whatever the purpose, as a Monkey, Boyle likes to keep moving. Active and energetic, he has a sharper than average intelligence and a wry sense of humor. All of these traits have contributed to his success and will bring more in the future.

Chinese Astrology advises Boyle to remember to schedule regular checkups for both doctor visits and dental checkups throughout year. Long talks outside and walks on the beach with his loved one (or ones) should clear up any outstanding grievances.

In all, this year will bring Boyle many satisfactions. Maybe an Oscar among them?
