Year of the Tiger: Personality, Element and Stones
Tiger is the sign that moves first and checks later. Warm, impatient with procedure, and more protective than it lets on.
How this sign is usually described
- Decides in the room, then spends a week defending it.
- Loyal to individuals, distrustful of institutions.
- Restarts things rather than repairing them.
- Needs a physical outlet; the mood follows the body.

Common questions
Is Tiger too strong for partnership?
No. Tiger reads as intensity, which most partnerships are short of. The risk is not strength, it is sequence — acting before the other person has finished.
I was born in early February. Which am I?
Check Li Chun, around 4 February. Before that date you belong to the previous year's animal.
