 The Tiger, the living symbol of
strength and power, generally inspires fear and respect. Tigers' compelling
dynamism, intense activity, independence and curiosity about others make them
irresistible, persons of multiple charms; Tigers attract followers and
admirers. The Tiger has a regal quality and is courageous, active and self-assured; he makes an
excellent leader and protector. Known for determination and charisma, the Tiger aims high and pursues goals with vigor,
passion and daring. However liberal-minded Tigers may be, they
are rash and resist the authority of others. Although they are
selfish in the little things, they are capable of great generosity, even of
altruism, in the larger. Tigers are men and women of action, thrust by
destiny into the spotlight.
Tigers are fearless creatures
in as much as they blind themselves to dangers and impetuously rush in where
more cautious individuals would fear to tred. Outspoken in the face of
injustice, their strong humanitarian instincts will not allow them to pass by
if they see a wrong perpetrated upon another. They have a disdain for security
and make a religion of change.
Tigers tend to renounce
confining traditional roles, opting for a more unfettered life. With a wide
ranging mind, they can adopt any number of careers. Their many experiences
serve to enrich their life and add depth to their nature. Material benefits
matter little to them.
Tigers have an inborn magnetic
personality that attracts people to them like bees to honey. Warm-hearted,
sociable and friendly, they are characterised by their frank, honest and open
approach. Their immense kindness and generosity will always shine through
except when crossed or backed into a corner, for then they can become
vehement and ferocious.
Solitude is often the price
Tigers pay for their position of authority, but they become accustomed to it.
Better still, they draw on the experience, gaining new energies and great
strength. However, this loner attitude and pride can sometimes prevent the Tiger from seeking
other people's assistance when faced with an endeavor that calls for someone else's
resources and talents.
Chinese say the
life of a Tiger born at night will be less hectic than that of Tigers born
after dawn and above all, those born around midday. It will be a stormy
life full of dangers, but the Tiger will never be bored. Neither Night Tiger
nor Day Tiger will have an easy life. The Western term for a particularly
fierce woman is "dragon lady," but the Chinese call her an "old tiger lady."
She has many expectations of her partners which can cause difficulties; she wants to
dominate relationships because of her independent nature and desire to rule. A female
Tiger won't submit willingly to the Confucian ideal of womanhood, which dictates that a
daughter obey her father, a wife obey her husband, and an older woman obey her eldest son. For
this reason some Chinese avoid having children in the Tiger Year -- for
fear of having a daughter.
The lucky Tiger represents
the greatest power on earth, and is the emblem of protection for human life.
A Tiger in the house minimizes the Three Great Risks -- thieves, fire, and
evil spirits. If there are two Tigers in the house, however, one of them
has to go!
The Sexy Tiger
Tigers make ardent and virile
lovers who dominate their partners. Because of their sensuality, their
impetuousness and love of adventure, there is an excitement that not only
follows Tigers wherever they go, but also guarantees them a certain
irrestible sexy allure. These creatures whose emotions are out-front have
strong libidos and are lusty in their passions. Generally flirtatious, they
are especially prone to wild flings in their early years but do settle down
as they get older. When committed to a happy and fulfilling relationship,
Tigers make loving and caring partners, warm-hearted and generous. They
don't, however, lose that romantic streak nor that exciting ability to
surprise.
Encounters with the
Horse and the
Dragon will be especially interesting.
Tigers will feel a definite affinity with the Dog
and Boar but should avoid the
Rabbit who could be too conservative or weak for him. The
Monkey may be one of the worst possible mates for him, competing with him and
refusing to compromise. Above all, beware of the
Ox, who is stronger than the Tiger and
will keep on attacking him until he is destroyed. If there is a Tiger and
an Ox under the same roof the Tiger will have to quit before he is
annihilated.
March is the month of the
Tiger. The time of the Tiger is from 3:00 a.m. to 4:59 a.m.; their
direction of orientation is east-northeast. The Tiger's color is
green.
