In the twelve-year cycle of animals that appear in the Chinese zodiac, the mighty tiger surprisingly only comes in as number three. When the Jade Emperor invited all the animals of the world to take part in a race, the powerful tiger was considered the big favorite. However, the race path also included a huge river that all creatures, large or small, had to cross. The smart rat persuaded the kind ox to let it sit on its head, and instead of being thankful, it made a mad dash for the finish line to come in first place. The tiger was sure to win until the strong current in the river sent it off course, and so he crossed the finishing line behind the rat and the ox. The tiger is the king of all beasts in China, and if you are born in the year of the tiger, you are said to be a most powerful individual. Supposedly, you are authoritative, brave, and self-assured with a strong moral compass and believe system. Tigers enjoy competition and fighting for a cause, but they can sometimes struggle with “their emotional and sensitive natures that allows them to be extremely passionate.”
People born in the year of the Tiger are born leaders, who walk and talk assertively and inspire respect. They are courageous and energetic, love a challenge or competition and are prepared to take risks. They are hungry for excitement and crave attention. They can also be rebellious, short-tempered and outspoken, preferring to give orders rather than take them, which often leads to conflict. Tiger people may appear calm but there is often a hidden aggressiveness, but they can also be sensitive, humorous and capable of great generosity and love. As you might well imagine, this combination of authority and sensitivity makes for a rather volatile combination. But first things first, there are several lucky things for people born in a years of the Tiger. Pay specific attention to the numbers 1, 3, and 4, or any number combination containing your lucky numbers. Your lucky colors are blue, gray, and orange, and your lucky flowers are the yellow lily and cineraria. And please don’t forget that your lucky directions are east, north and south. As for unlucky things, avoid the numbers 6, 7, and 8 or any combination of these unlucky numbers. Your unlucky color is brown, and please avoid the southwesterly direction at all cost.
