Tiger

The Tiger is the cat of the Chinese Astrology. The tiger is known for its beauty and grace. Whether the mighty Bengal of India or the white snow tigers these animals are truly the epitome of poetry in motion. When a tiger walks toward you and holds you in its gaze, you know the true definition of spellbound. A part of you can’t believe that this beautiful beast coming toward you could cause harm. But beneath the beauty of fur, body line and feline grace, lies a cat – with all the bravery, courage and alertness that that entails. The Tiger is the third year in the Chinese Astrology. Tigers are competitive animals and will show their displeasure when necessary!

The characteristics of the Tiger animal definitely show up in those who are born within the years to which Tiger is assigned. Tiger people are courageous and ready to make new friends and take on new tasks. They can be enthusiastic and bold, and ripple with social energy. Tiger people enjoy social settings and have no problem putting them in the center of attention. Enthusiastic and optimistic, Tigers mystify those around them with their ability to make even the most hare-brained scheme work! With their nearly endless font of energy, that’s no surprise; however, the cat can have a temper too. That courage can turn in to impulsiveness and that energy may sway to impatience. These can make Tiger people appear hot-headed and unthinking. Flashy and sometimes brash, Tigers are not exactly the first to jump to accept a compromise on any subject.

With their capability to adapt and learn quickly, Tiger people make excellent new employees. Tiger people have a great capability for leadership just through the force of their spirit. Their natural “dominance” should be capitalized on whenever possible because it is a powerful force for both the person and the organization as well. Tigers who are entrepreneurs may seem to be going out on a limb – but remember many of the large cats pull their kill up into the trees to feed.

Want to curl that Tigers’ toes? Try a cookbook on an exotic or ethnic food type. If you want to really set them back on their haunches, rubies, diamonds, and (of course!) cat’s eye. Treat your Tiger to a new manicure set if the budget is limited, or a Mah Jong set (which can be inexpensive or terribly expensive) may well be the perfect treat. With their innate curiosity a Tiger year person would well enjoy a good mystery novel or detective stories. Loving noisy parties and lots of people, the perfect New Year’s Eve…whether Solar or Lunar…would be Times Square!
