Chinese zodiac: Tiger
- Brave
- Charismatic
- Competitive
- Independent
- Generous
- Restless
In Chinese culture the Tiger is the symbol of strength and courage. The stripes on its forehead are said to resemble the Chinese character for "king" (wang), which is why it is considered the ruler of the forests. Dressing children in tiger-head hats to bring them luck is an old tradition. People born in the Year of the Tiger are energetic, unafraid to take risks and set their own rules; they draw attention wherever they go and carry a natural air of leadership.
The Tiger's test is patience and cooperation. It decides quickly and can get bored just as fast; it tends to clash with authority and take excessive risks. It has strong intuition and a generous heart, and standing by someone who has been wronged is almost a reflex for it. It reaches its most productive state when it channels its energy into a concrete goal.
Love and relationships
In love the Tiger is passionate, generous and drawn to adventure. It brings vitality to a relationship and excites its partner; when it feels bored or restricted, though, it can become distant. It looks for someone who respects its independence and matches its energy. Compatibility with the Horse, Dog and Pig is strong; with the Monkey there may be rivalry and tension.
Career
The Tiger shines in crisis management, entrepreneurship, sports, politics, the military and the creative industries. It quickly tires of routine and draws energy from risk and competition. As a leader it inspires, but it may neglect details and fail to listen to others. Delegating authority to its team and making time for long-term planning increase its success.
Compatible and challenging animals
Most compatible: Horse, Dog, Pig
