Tiger

Courage, Passion and Independence

虎

In the Chinese zodiac the Tiger is a symbol of untamed strength and magnetism. People born under this sign are dynamic, impulsive and full of life. They cannot sit still - they are drawn to adventure, risk and great challenges. If you are looking for a hero who will stand up for the weak and oppose injustice, the Tiger is the ideal candidate. It is a born leader who sweeps crowds along with its charisma.

In the heart of every Tiger, even the fiercest, hides a sensitive kitten that longs for acceptance and love. Its tough-guy armour often masks insecurity and a need for support.

Personality Traits

The Tiger is one of the most stubborn signs of the zodiac. Once it makes up its mind, it is hard to stop. Even if it meets obstacles and is temporarily discouraged, it quickly regains its strength and comes back into the game with double the energy. It is painfully honest and despises lies.

Its nature is full of contradictions: on the one hand it can be aggressive and domineering, on the other it can be tender and caring. It often acts on impulse, which gets it into trouble, but its natural charm means people forgive it quickly.

Love and Relationships

In love the Tiger is a real volcano. It is passionate, romantic and can love madly. Yet its feelings, though intense, can be changeable. The Tiger needs constant stimulation - routine and boredom are the killers of its relationships.

If its partner cannot keep up with it intellectually and emotionally, the Tiger may start looking for excitement elsewhere. It can be a heartbreaker, but not deliberately - it simply follows its passion. When it finds someone who fascinates it and gives it freedom at the same time, it becomes a devoted and exciting partner.

Career and Life

Tigers are individualists. At work they do best where they can be in charge or act independently. They hate supervision and rigid frameworks. They are excellent innovators who are not afraid of risky investments or new projects.

In friendship they are selective - they have few true friends, but would go through fire for them. As parents they are adored by their children, because they have a lot of the child in them - they are funny, spontaneous and full of imagination, though they can also be demanding.

The Tiger and the Elements

Water Tiger The calmest of the Tigers. It has a strong sense of justice and responsibility. It is an excellent observer and can keep a cool head in difficult situations.
Wood Tiger The life and soul of the party. It is charming, witty and well liked, but often wears the mask of a joker to hide an inner emptiness or a lack of confidence in love.
Fire Tiger A volcano of energy. It acts in a flash, often before it thinks. It is a leader who sweeps crowds along, but must be careful not to burn out through lack of rest.
Earth Tiger A hedonist. It has refined taste and loves luxury. It is more focused on itself and its own needs than other Tigers, but also more stable.
Metal Tiger Ruthless and ambitious. This is the Tiger that tramples over others to reach its goal. It is extremely effective in business, but lacks diplomacy. Better not to cross it.
