 The first day is the start of the Golden Tiger Year. The Tiger is the third sign in the cycle of  Chinese Zodiac, which consists of 12 animal signs. It is a sign of courage.

Characteristics of the Metal Tiger (Years 1890, 1950, 2010) :

They are thought to be ambitious and competitive and are determined to get what they want no matter who gets in the way. They like to stand out from the crowd and are also active, aggressive, temperamental, and hasty, but can be passionate.

This fearless and fiery fighter is revered by the ancient Chinese as the sign that wards off the three main disasters of a household: fire, thieves and ghosts.  On New Year's day itself, it is beneficial to celebrate, to be happy, to have smiling faces, and to refrain from scowling, quarreling, or criticizing anyone.

The first day is for the welcoming of the deities of the heavens and earth, officially beginning at midnight. Many people, especially Buddhists, abstain from meat consumption on the first day because it is believed that this will ensure longevity for them. Some consider lighting fires and using knives to be bad luck on New Year's Day, so all food to be consumed is cooked the day before. For Buddhists, the first day is also the birthday of Maitreya Bodhisattva (better known as the more familiar Budai Luohan), the Buddha-to-be. People also abstain from killing animals.
Most importantly, the first day of Chinese New Year is a time when families visit the oldest and most senior members of their extended family, usually their parents, grandparents or great-grandparents.( wikipedia sources)

She got the energies from Uranus, the planet of changes and freedom, and  from Venus planet of art and love when she was born.  There is a great deal of of air in this astral combination. She never lands ! She is  very gifted for abstract reasoning. Everyday life makes she wants to fly away to another planet and reality bores her. She  understands everything better than everybody else and though she may seem elusive it's only to avoid losing her freedom. Some people think she is a little shallow. You she  is very reserved and sophisticated, and friendship is essential to her

Oprah Winfrey was born with the energies of Uranus, the planet of change and freedom, and Jupiter, planet of luck and social convention. She has only one concern - to have adventures, travel and challenges. She is open to the outside world and she lives without frontiers or limits to her freedom. She believes in mankind and trusts everyone. Her friends are so lucky - She is always ready to help them, no matter what and if there is a problem she is always there. Injustice is unbearable to her and the fate of the under-dog is always her concern. She might be unconventional in her attitude towards love relationships because she values so much her friendships, perhaps even more than anything.

All these people are original thinkers, often a bit eccentric, they prize individuality and freedom above all else.They can be stubborn, once they make up their minds about something, its hard to convince them to change what they believe. They can be also impatient and rebellious.

Ellen Degeneres has only one concern - to have adventures and travel. She is open to the outside world and lives without frontiers or limits to her freedom. She believes in mankind and trusts everyone. Her friends are lucky - she is always ready to help them, no matter what and if there is a problem she is always there. Injustice is unbearable to her and the fate of the under-dog is always her concern. However, if daily life and reality seem to annoy her and even her Bank Manager doesn't appreciate her casual attitude, she'll always manage to get out of difficult situations. Her home is an open house, and the word hospitality has great meaning for her.

Gisele Bundchen got the energies from the Moon, planet of imagination and from Saturn, planet of harshness and wisdom, its a marriage full of contradictions.

Leonardo Dicaprio got the energies from Pluto, planet of transformation and from Venus planet of art and love. to his disposal. This astral combination points to a multi-faceted personality. He knows exactly how to wield an iron hand in a velvet glove .His good manners will allow  him to get  his point across in front of the most terrible enemy.

Tiger Woods has the energies of Saturn, planet of wisdom and Mercury planet of intelligence at his disposal,  that's a great astral combination. Fate doesn't exist for him and his great intelligence means everything is under control. He love sall that glitters. No-one is as secretive as he is. He can be fussy - almost to the point of obsession, which isn't easy to live with it.

Denzel Washington was born under the energies of Saturn, planet of wisdom and Venus planet of art and love. What an astral combination! He looks like the most courteous and easy going person on earth, but the truth is, behind this smiling appearance is hidden a will of iron. No-one is more organised and practical than he is. He knows precisely where he is and  goes exactly where he wants.

.She got the support of Neptune, Jupiter and the Moon, all conjunct her Sun into the sign of Pisces and Ten house ( rewards and succes house)  but also trine to Uranus in Scorpio and to her natal Moon in Cancer. It couldn't be better. Congratulations to her.
I like her a lot and was feeling so happy for her and wish her a lot of success for Bliss, her first movie as a director.

First US lady Michelle Obama is celebrating her 46 th birthday under very sad circumstances regarding the Haiti disaster. Anyone who sees her in the Red Cross spot rising money for Haiti can't doubt she really means what she says. No surprise about that, her Pisces Moon talks so much, its all about empathy and compassion. On Tuesday, Jupiter will shift into the sign of Pisces just after the Moon, both will transit her natal Moon and Venus. She could not be more exposed to the entire world, also its interesting to notice that President Obama's  natal Venus will be trine also to Jupiter at the same time. For sure no one will miss them.

Also Jim Carrey is celebrating his birthday that day.

2010 Mercury ‘s resolutions:
 

I, Mercury, the communication Planet aka the Messenger, am never very far from the Sun but I appear sometimes like to move backward three or four times a year. During this time People might get some issues with travel, schedule, or in technology and communication business.

Just see what happened in Newark on Sunday night, for securities reasons, the terminal C has been totally closed for hours. Security people wre looking for someone who crossed a wrong line. Hundred of passengers have been stucked and all planes have been cancelled. Other Airports have been closed also because of the cold weather.

In 2010, I start and end the year going retrograde and do it two more times in April and at the end of August.

As I said, I go retrograde from December 28Th 2009 to January 17th into the sign of Capricorn which means that those in positions of power might be challenged, my energy at that time could get communication a bit complicated.

People who were born between December 27th and January 12th like Denzel Washington, Howard Stern, John Kerry, Sienna Miller might know what its about.

The second time I’ll go retrograde is between April 19th and May 13th into the sign of Taurus.

You know that the sign of Taurus isn’t the fastest sign of the Zodiac, so you might expect that things are going slowly, very slowly especially in the business ad financial field. On April 25th I ‘m squaring Mars the fighter, it could be a stressful turn for stocks market for example.

People we were born between April 22nd and May 2nd like Jack Nicholson, Beyonce Knowles and David Beckman should be on game.

The third time I’ll go retrograde will take place between August 22nd and September 14Th into the sign of Virgo.

Everything about health or environment may arise at that time and become a huge concern for People.

People who were born between August 29th and September 12th like Benjamin McKenzie, Mats Vilander will share these energies.

The last time I’ll go retrograde in 2010 will be between the 11th and the 30th of December.

I’ll bring with me a need for clearing dirty stuff and ethics. Politicians and institutions should be the first to be called !

People who were born between the 12th and the 27th of December like John Kerry could be at first places.

 Mel Gibson who can actually be seen in the movie the  Edge of Darkness is celebrating is 54 th birhday. Victoria Principal and Mickael Schumacher were also born on January 3rd.

American figure skater who earned many medals from 1978 with partner Judy Blumberg. A lanky 5'10 Michael Seibert was a shining example of the precision and skill needed for ice-dance, and the couple was the American hope for the 1984 Olympics.

I think that Donna Sommer should sing ' I Feel Love for Val Kilmer, Anthony Hopkins, Gong Li and Ben Kingsley to celebrate their Birthday. Its a special one:  a Lunar eclipse and a Full Moon day. Intensity of emotions and feelings should be increased a lot for sure.

I wish a very Happy Birthday to all of them and a wonderful 2010 Year.

Jude Law is Capricorn ascendant Libra, its a good astral combination. Actually Jupiter is supporting this actor a lot. Marianne Faithfull is also celebrating her birthday, Pluto is trining her rising sign in Taurus, she can expect a lot of very positive opportunities.

It will be difficult at the moment to miss Denzel Washington!  He is " the Boolk of Eli " principal actor. Right now, his birth chart analyzis shows a very wonderful Uranus trine to his natal Uranus, Jupiter is also playing well.The talented actor can expect the best for 2010.

He can celebrate his birthday with Chad MacQueen, Steve MacQueen's son.
