Notice how animal prints made a big comeback -- just in time for Tiger year 2010! If you want to be chic in 2010, wear a Tiger print -- or print of any of the big cats. A Tiger print coat would be smashing over a red dress for New Years. And a Tiger print sweater would be nice and cozy, just like a cat. A Tiger print dress? Why not if you dare! But if you consider an animal print to be too flashy or strong, then accessorize with animals prints. Find the perfect belt, shoe, hat, or handbag -- just don't wear them all at the same time. And if you were born in the year of the Monkey, no Tiger prints for you because Monkey is Tiger's opposite. Fashion trends follow the energy of the Chinese New Year year.

Tiger year 2010 will bring political upheaval and violence. But Tiger chaos does not result in the end of the world on 12/21/2012. This day will go by just like 1984, 2000, and Y2K. 2012 will be a Dragon year, and in the last Dragon year 2000 people had similar fears. But a new age is predicted on 12/21/2012 by many indigenous cultures including the Mayan, Aztec, and Peruvian Q'ero Indians. The Sun on that solstice day will be in alignment with the center of the Milky Way (between Scorpio and Sagittarius). To the Mayans, this place in space was a womb of creation, the mother's milk of the Milky Way. The solstice Sun aligns with this galactic center every 26,000 years.
The Mayan calendar does not really end on winter solstice 2012; there is another cycle in the Mayan astrological system.

Are you boring? Do others see you as being selfish? How about adventurous? Carefree?
Your Chinese element plays a significant role in the shaping of your unique personality. Every person is born in a specific year, with an Astrological symbol and element all their own. Depending upon your birth year, you could find yourself the beneficiary of a Water, Fire, Earth, Wood or Metal element. Understanding the characteristics of your particular element will allow you to realize your potential and to recognize your shortcomings—even if you don’t agree with them.
