Hopefully you gave it your best shot and scored some outstanding successes last year. The Tiger, unfortunately, has a low tolerance for the Rooster. If you are a typical one, you need to remember one thing. The Tiger has claws. Your direct, no nonsense approach is likely to lead to your getting scratched. The same goes for arguments. Your managerial talents should serve you well when it comes to steering a course that avoids pitfalls. The diplomatic approach, regardless how foreign to your style, needs to be your favored one. Save your best efforts and big occasions for your two, favorable months. The ruling element, Metal, should help you achieve one or two noteworthy successes.
