The Tiger

The Tiger is an error-finder and a rebel. He’s a hothead, always revolting against authority and his superiors – the stuff of which revolutionaries are made. He’s the ring leader type but unfortunately, as so often happens with leaders, he does not always merit confidence place in him! He’s the first to start the action.

In business, as in love and war, the prudent will think a little before following him. And sometimes they will be well advised to hold him back. Those who follow the Tiger may find themselves heading for catastrophe. He’s the all-time brinkmanship expert, and sometimes he pursues his taste for foolhardiness and risk to the limits of recklessness and irresponsibility.

All the same, it is difficult to resist him, for he is a magnetic character and his natural air of authority confers a certain prestige on him. People automatically respect him – even those working against him. This is just as well, for the Tiger like being obeyed. Nobody dares to tell him where to get off!

But if ever he manages to think before he acts, if he can bring himself to listen to good advice, the Tiger can become an enormous success.

A fighter, violent and daring, he is capable of standing up to the bitter end for what he think is right. He is obstinate and stubborn, contentious and always quarreling with someone. He is selfish in little things. He is capable of great generosity, even of altruism, in the larger. In his own terms, he is narrow-minded, and he trusts nobody.

The Tiger is always in the lead. He distrusts the status quo, he is against established authority, and he is contemptuous of those who play it safe. Paradoxically, though he sometimes draws back when he is faced with an important decision and hesitates until it is too late.

Admirably suited to be an army chief or a captain of industry, the Tiger will also make a redoubtable gangster, for he adores any profession that involves risks. Lady Tigers are the same in their way; they are the first to launch a new idea, to take up arms against convention to fight for what they believe is right.

Tiger is not directly interested in money, but it can happen that he makes a lot.He is above to all the man of action, the man thrust by destiny into the limelight.In fact this warrior is sensitive, emotional and drawn towards introspection. He is capable of great love, but becomes too intense about it and his love affairs are rarely happy. The female Tiger will have numerous adventures – and all too often they will end up badly.

The Tiger can spend his life with the honest horse, with the Dragon – who brings to the partnership strength and prudence – or with the Dog, who will stick by him through thick and thin in defense of his ideals.

The Tiger should refrain from associating with the Snake, who is too wise for him, and the Monkey, who is too mischievous. In love as in business, the bad faith of the Monkey, so skillful at fooling him, can do a lot of harm to the Tiger.
Cows, too, are out. The Cow is stronger than the Tiger and will keep on attacking him until he is destroyed. If there is a Tiger and a Cow under the same roof, the Tiger will have to go before he is annihilated.

As for the Rabbit, he never succeeds in making a home with the Tiger. The popular Eastern legend has it that the Rabbit, to annoy the Tiger jumps higher up a tree than the heavier Tiger can manage from which position he does his business on the Tiger’s muzzle. But they understand themselves just the same, for they are after all, of the same feline race.

The first phase of the Tiger’s life will be smooth and without any difficulties. The second will be violent and passionate. There will be problems of all kinds to solve money troubles, marriage troubles, troubles in romance; nothing will be spared of him! And if these problems are not handled skillfully, there may be repercussion in the third stage – which can still bring him peace and tranquility if in fact he does reach an old age!

The life of the Tiger can be completely different according to whether he was born at night or day. Night Tigers, especially those born around midnight, will be sheltered from the snares of life a little and their path will be less hectic than that of Tigers born after dawn, and above all those around midday. It will be stormy life, in any case, full of dangers – but the Tiger will never be bored, night Tiger or day Tiger, he is destined to bypass the easy life!

Not that he would have it any other way. Varied, thrilling, passionate, it’s the life that he wants and the life that he gets. And his love of taking risks leads him to gamble with it time after time. The Tiger is the man of sudden and violent death.
But he is also the man of good luck: nobody enjoys luck like the Tiger. For the people of Asia, the sign of the Tiger is a food sign. It represents power on earth and it’s an emblem of protection for human life. A Tiger in the house minimizes the three risks – thieves, fire, and evil spirits.

If there are two tigers in the house, one of them has to go.
