I'm a Tiger

In the East, the Tiger symbolizes power, passion and daring.

The Tiger is a fortunate person to have around, provided that you are prepared for all the activity that comes along with his dynamic personality.

Their vigor and love of life are stimulating. In short, the captivating Tiger loves being the center of attention.

They must speak their mind when upset. But just as they are quick-tempered, they are equally sincere, affectionate and generous. What's more, they have a marvelous sense of humor.

Every Tiger has the humanitarian touch in them. They love babies, animals or anything that can catch their imagination and attention for the span of the moment.

When they get involved, their involvements are total. Everything, even breathing, will have to take second place to the object of their adulation. They are never halfhearted about their endeavors, and one can trust the Tiger to give 100 percent of themselves or even more if they had it in them to do so.

The more sensual types usually have a fling at the bohemian life in their youth. Some never grow out of it.

No matter how down and out the Tiger is, no matter to what depths of despair and depression they plunge, don't believe for one moment that they will ever say die! There will always be a tiny spark left somewhere in that unquenchable spirit of them to rekindle the fire and start them living and loving all over again.

A bit too intense to rely on in times of stress, the Tiger is still renowned for their ability to sway the crowd. At their best, they are warm, sensitive and sympathetic. At their worse, they are obstinate, unreasonable and selfish.

The lady Tiger is the most charming and radiant of hostesses. She can combine home and social life with aplomb. But don't taunt her, she keeps her claws sharpened just in case she has need of them.

She is great with the children, too. After she shows she loves them, she makes sure to enforce the law. She makes them mind their manners, and if they perform well, she is extremely generous with rewards. Now, how can anyone resist that?

The Tiger native has a super ego. Money, power and fame will mean nothing if his ego is hurt. Thwarted, the Tiger could turn out to be the meanest and pettiest bully you ever came across. He will go to any length to get revenge, even to bringing down the house with him. Little slights will enrage him, but he may let big issues pass without a fuss. Just remember, he hates being ignored!

Paradoxically, his two main shortcomings in life will be his rashness on one hand and indecision on the other. If he can learn to take the middle of the road, the Tiger will be a roaring success.

At heart, the Tiger is a romantic. He is playful yet passionate and sentimental all at the same time, and it will be quite an experience being in love with or married to one.

On the whole, the Tiger's life will be volatile. It will be filled to the brim with laughter, tears, pain, joy, despair and every conceivable emotion in the dictionary. If there is one thing one should never do it is to feel sorry for him. He won't need it, either: he can only love life if he is allowed to live it to the hilt in whatever manner he chooses. The Tiger is the ultimate optimist who will always bounce back for fresh challenges.
