Tiger's Fortune in 2023

Tiger horoscope in 2023 is average as a whole. They may not be the most excellent staff in their company and the prediction shows little chance of promotion and salary raise. The singles may not have time and energy to become unavailable. Those in love should spend more time with their lover in case of breakup. Their daily expenditure is very likely to increase a lot; in the case, make a plan to make the income and cost meet. Their health fortune is at a low level, so pay more attention to any discomforts.

Career: The 2023 prediction shows low chance of promotion. But their performance would not be bad. So stay calm and spare some time to learn more professional knowledge and skills, which will help them do a great job in the future. Their relationship with workmates and customers would be harmonious and they intend to develop more distinguished customers.
Wealth: This year, their salary may not be enough to cover their increasing expense. Maybe they could find a part-time job to fill in the gap. The businessmen born in the year of the Tiger would be satisfied about their profits, just in case of losses caused by the competitors.
Relationships: Due to their negative attitude, the singles would not like to dress up to attract a potential girlfriend/ boyfriend, or attend a blind date, hence very likely stay available. For those married, their marriage would be stable because the two sides could understand and compromise to each other.
Education: Their attitude towards study is positive and they would meet someone who can help them improve the efficiency. Focus in class. Their luck in examinations is good, too. Even though, go over the papers carefully before submitting them, so as to get high scores.
Health: The possibility of getting sick is high this year. But do not be afraid and go to hospital on time if feel not OK. Early treatment means early recovery and less sufferings. Also, they’d better do something to strengthen their body.

According to the horoscope, if you two can get through the special and complicated period, you will be together ever after; if not, the relationship will end. But more importantly, you should follow your heart.

1963 is the year of the Rabbit... But Chinese New Year in 1963 begins on January 24th. Your birthday is before then, so you were born in the Year of the Tiger.
