I am a bit biased when it comes to Tiger’s I’m afraid. I love them. They are lovely! And of course there is the small fact that I live with one. Tiger’s in China are the sign of luck and as such the Chinese always like to have some kind of Tiger symbol in their homes believing it will bring them luck. The tiger always lands on his velvet paws. If he/she is short of money, the Tiger doesn’t worry, he will just go and get some more. You see Tiger’s don’t really care about money, I mean obviously there are some Tiger people out there who have buckets of it and live in pure luxury, but more to the point they don’t live to make money, they are not preoccupied with acquiring it, unlike so many other people. If they have money, they go out and spend it, and when they run out they just go and earn some more. That’s it. Pure and simple.

The Tiger is somewhat the hero of the Zodiac. He/she is the one who rushes in on a noble stead ready to take on the dragon and save the Princess!! If he sees a person falling to their death into the coldest sea from the tallest bridge, it is the Tiger who will be seen diving in to the rescue! And that’s great! Wonderful! And also slightly stupid. Yes, I’m afraid to say it, Tiger’s can be foolish. You see they forget to think. They just run into the deep end, and then think afterwards. This isn’t perhaps the best thing to do.

Fear? No. This is one of the problems. Tiger’s seem to have no fear whatsoever. They take things on that most mortal beings would at least have to seriously think about, and probably decide not to do. Like swimming with great white sharks or something equally nuts. For some reason this lack of fear draws them to the more outrageous kinds of life.

They prefer the unusual to the norm. And that goes for their partner’s as well (I’m saying this in full knowledge that I am a partner of one such creature). If you happen to be a little strange, unique shall I say for risk of condemning myself, then they will take an interest in you, they can’t help it. When the going gets tough for these feisty being’s they simply pounce beautifully to safety, lick their wounds, have a snooze, then they are up and running again. Tiger’s are often involved in situations which would drive most people to drink or worse. It’s this velvet footed ability of knowing when to run away that keeps them sane.

Tiger’s are gifted with natural authority and normally have high powered jobs. However, Tiger’s also crave change and can sometimes end up nowhere fast. This is why they need a herd of safety people behind them to pick up the pieces and help the Tiger learn some kind of moderation. Then the Tiger will always be successful.

From experience I can tell you that Tiger’s are perfect, oh and immortal. I can also tell you that that is what THEY believe. Sadly, it’s not true. They are constantly trying to catch up with themselves. So many things to do and so little time to do it. Tiger’s long to be healthy and will try all sorts of things to be just that. Problem is that it involves discipline, and their not too good at that, not in themselves anyway. These people have great strength and will always over do it with weights and other machines meant to make them stronger, they can’t help it, they don’t seem to do half measures. You can’t tell them either. They will not be told, as they know best and often have to learn the hard way about the down falls of excess! Tiger you need space for your energy so the country is the best place for you so you can breathe in the fresh air as you run your marathon, but please do rest as well, and do try eating fruit once in a while!!

Tigers are most compatible with: Horses, Dogs and Dragons. Stay away from tricky Monkey’s, Ox are no good for you either. And don’t even think about taking up with another Tiger!!
