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!
Chinese horoscopes have been around for thousands of years and are used to predict the events of that year and the characteristics of people born under that sign. The reason there are twelve animal symbols in the zodiac is because of the lunar cycle. The Chinese live by the lunar cycle, which completes in twelve years each cycle. A major difference in Eastern and Western horoscopes is that the former calculates the year you were born, and the latter goes by the month.
Under each sign, the characteristics of occurrences in people and events correspond with the traits of that animal. The myth of how the twelve signs were chosen originated with Buddha. Before he departed from this world, he invited all the animals to a great feast. Only twelve were present. Buddha named each year after all of the twelve animals in the order by which they arrived. The tiger was the third animal to arrive.
Tigers are said to be the lovers of the Chinese zodiac. They are kind, sympathetic, and sensitive. The tiger is very courageous and bold and can be very competitive. They are very protective of the people they love and will defend them fiercely without reserve. Independence is a staple quality of the tiger. The tiger is attentive and a deep thinker; never afraid to go get what it wants. Tigers make honest and loyal friends. They are passionate lovers as well! On the darker side, tigers tend to be impulsive, restless, and stubborn.
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 do well with careers as explorers, actors, politicians, daredevils, writers, and actors. Marilyn Monroe and Dwight D. Eisenhower were two famous tigers. When you are looking for compatibility, it would be wise for the tiger to avoid snakes, monkeys, and the ox. Instead, find true love with a dog, horse, pig, rabbit, or dragon.
If these qualities sound like you, you must be a true tiger! Considering the Chinese horoscope tiger is such a versatile and likeable character, you should be proud! Keep moving stealthily through life, but be on the alert for troublesome monkeys!
