The Year of the Tiger begins on February 14, Valentine’s Day. Naturally, inquiring minds want to know. How will my love life be in 2010? Are things finally going to heat up? Will I find my soul mate? Is marriage in the cards?

Plenty of questions--- but there are answers. Some depend on that Tiger, others on your Chinese zodiac sign. The Tiger will affect you personally, so learning something about that mighty beast is a great place to start.

Passion and adventure abound wherever you find the Tiger. There is no escaping the fact. This is going to be some year in the annals of your love life. It may not be all good, but it is going to be memorable! So, hold on to your hat for a wild ride and go with the feeling.

Such action may not be your thing. Not to worry. You would be foolish to try and keep up with the Tiger all year long. That doesn’t mean, however, you can’t hop on and off the roller coaster.

Chinese month’s are based on the Lunar calendar so, the first half of February (1st to 13th) is the month of the Fire Ox and the second half which is also beginning of the Year of the Metal Tiger (14th to 28th) shifts to the Month of the Earth Tiger.

Our experts at OnlineChineseAstrology.com have compiled a list of your auspicious/lucky and inauspicious/unlucky days for the month of February.  These lists are created according to the ancient Chinese Farmer’s Almanac, which has governed the planning of Chinese farmer’s and nobles alike for thousands of years. Our modern interpretation uses the Chinese constellations to determine favorable and unfavorable characteristics of each day. In addition, we use Four Pillar analysis to determine lucky and unlucky days and hours. With this information, we have taken the liberty to modify some of the categories to fit with modern activities and we have omitted some of the strictly farm related categories.

RAT - Orange Ginger ice Blended coffee free drink. Here’s a treat that appeals to the Rat’s sophisticated taste and inquisitive mind. Its distinctive flavors are just the thing to stimulate thought and witty repartee as the Rat plays godfather to his inner circle.

OX - Pure Vanilla Ice Blended made with special French Deluxe vanilla powder, ice and non-fat milk. A drink that appeals to the unassuming yet powerful Ox. It packs a punch but reminds us of the Ox’s other persona, that of the gentle animal grazing in the meadow.

TIGER - Tropical Passion Tea, French Deluxe vanilla powder, steam milk and foam. Exotic adventure and passion are hallmarks of Tiger style. This drink symbolizes those who live life to the fullest and, like the Tiger, are not afraid to go off onto an uncharted path at times.

RABBIT - Vanilla Latte, Espresso, French Deluxe TM vanilla power, steamed milk and foam. This elegant and classy drink perfectly suits the Rabbit. Experience the pleasure that derives from going first class.

Who better to party with Lords a Leapin’ and Maids a Milkin’ than our friend the Rat? Her need for constant stimulation and entertainment makes for the “12 Days of Christmas” to be her tune. Only she would require each day’s gift leading up to Christmas to be more spectacular than the last. If you’re still at a loss for what gift to get your Rat friend or family member for the holiday season, perhaps all they need is a fifth golden ring to complete their repertoire of shiny things.

“You can count on me,” says the Ox, “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” being his carol.
