People born in the Year of the Tiger command great respect. They are deep thinkers and are sensitized to the plight of others, granting them the capacity for sympathy – something the world can always use more of. Tiger people are courageous and suspicious of authority. They have the ability to make sensible snap decisions but most often put their intellectual powers to work for them when it comes to larger issues. People born in the Year of the Tiger have the good fortune of duality: they are both powerful and sensitive, forceful and kind. Tiger people are most compatible with Horses, Dog and Dragons.
