Beethoven & I

My Chinese horoscope (what's creepy is that it repeats a lot of my traditional horoscope traits...I'm an Aries, ruled by Mars...it's a fire sign, etc.):

Tiger people are sympathetic, kind, emotional, and sensitive. At movies, they can cry their eyes out (yes, yes I can)! Despite their kindness, they can be extremely short-tempered. The rage of Tigers is terrible to behold but it also gives them the adrenaline needed for the sublimest of bravery (I do feel much better after a good blow up). The Tiger is also a deep thinker and can make the most astonishing intellectual connections, with great mental agility. On the negative side, they tend to be suspicious and a bit self-centered, OK selfish, and indecisive (I'd dispute it, but...). Above everything, however, the Tiger stands as a supreme emblem of protection over human life, admirable always.

Soup and Oolong Tea are among the keys to good health.

You see the Fire Tiger across the room, making a very dramatic entrance. Suddenly you are mesmerized by the eloquent eyebrows, yes, eyebrows, of that very vital face (my eyebrows are blond and barely noticable). So expressive, this face is positively on fire (I have a very expressive face...you always know what I'm thinking)! Wait a bit longer and you will be caught up in hearing laughter that goes right through the bones and catches you up in it. The Fire Tiger is a thrilling person to know, full of enthusiasm for every aspect of life, optimistic to the core (even if that's tempered with an Eyeore attitude and penchant for negative comments). Even cloudy days are seen for what they are, simply vibrant grays on the verge of exploding into sunshine. Fire Tigers are leaders in the best sense of the word, honest and fair with everyone. They love being boss (why yes, yes I do). Fire Tigers get over any financial difficulties they might encounter very quickly. Although they might not possess great fortunes, they certainly enjoy comforting financial security throughout their lives (oh, thank god). The Charismatic Fire Tiger is full of charisma and has no trouble attracting love and finding lasting relationships. This Tiger loves to play and is enlivened by sensuality and passion. To know Fire Tigers is to love Fire Tigers.
