The Chinese Horoscope Tiger: An Introduction

Are you curious about the Chinese zodiac? There are twelve repeating animal signs in the Chinese zodiac. This article, however, will focus on the Chinese horoscope tiger. So, if you were born in the year of the tiger, you're in the right place!

For thousands of years, the lunar cycle- based zodiac has been used in China. Because it takes the lunar cycle twelve years to complete, there are twelve animal symbols. Your Chinese horoscope is determined by the year you were born instead of the month like in our western zodiac.

The myth that inspired the twelve animal signs was based on Buddha. Before he departed from earth, he invited all animals to a feast. Buddha named each year after one of the twelve animals that came in order of their arrival. Each year, that animal's characteristics are said to influence events and personalities occurring in that year. The tiger was third to arrive, so it is the animal of the third year.

Tigers are very compassionate, supportive, and tenderhearted. They are without a doubt the lovers of the Chinese zodiac. The tiger is very alert and attentive to the world around them. Thoughtful and reflective, they have great intelligence. Tigers are fiercely loyal, and are very assertive. They will defend their loved ones boldly and vigorously. A tiger knows what it wants and is not afraid to go after it. They make passionate lovers and true friends. Conversely, they can also be hot headed, stubborn, and impulsive.

The elements of nature are also factored into Chinese horoscopes. Because of this, you are a certain type of tiger, not just a tiger. Water tigers are the creative geniuses of the tiger clan and despise being alone. Fire tigers are volatile but also full of charisma and enthusiasm. Metal tigers are very ambitious, merciful, and kind. Reflective and full of self-confidence, the earth tiger is the workaholic of the group.Lastly, wood tigers are quick witted and likeable friends who are always there for you.

Tigers are successful in careers as musicians, actors, writers, daredevils, and explorers. Did you know that Oscar Wilde and Marco Polo were tigers? For companionship, tigers should avoid monkeys and snakes. Look for joy with a dragon, horse, dog, pig, or rabbit.

If you are a born tiger, have pride! The Chinese horoscope tiger is a very unique and interesting sign. Figure out what type of tiger you are, and be the best tiger you can be!
