Tiger
Sign:
The tiger is the sign of bravery and daring
Basic Character:
Tiger-people though somewhat inclined to self-aggrandisement,
are at heart sympathetic, sensitive and considerate. There is
indeed a tendency to preen themselves within their particular
circle of admirers. However, on the credit side, tigers have
courage, are down-to-earth, and will risk life and limb in a good
cause. If at times they are had-tempered, one should not
immediately apportion blame, but rather look for the cause. A
tiger year is good for those born in that year, irrespective of sex.
Such children are likely to be brave, adventurous and
progressive. 'The wind of change' also began to blow long ago
in the Far East, uplifting woman's once secondary position, for
Eastern women are slowly but steadily entering a man's world on
a professional basis with remarkable success. Tiger types get on
fairly well with most animal characters, although there is likely to
be minor conflicts with Snake and Monkeys.
The Tiger Lover:
Tigers make ardent and virile lovers. Because of their sensuality,
their impetuousness and love of adventure, there is a frisson of
excitement that not only follows Tigers wherever they go, but
guarantees them a certain irrestible sexy allure. Needless to say,
these creatures whose emotions are outfront, have strong libidos
and are lusty in their passions. Generally flirtatious, they are
especially prone to wild flings in their early years but do settle
down as they get older. When committed to a happy and fulfilling
relationship, these people make loving and caring partners,
warm-hearted and generous. They don*t, however, lose that
romantic streak, nor that exciting ability to surprise.
The Tiger Parent:
Tigers make excellent parents No mother or father could be
courageous, more defensive and, of need be, more aggressive, in
the caring and protection of their child. Exciting and stimulating,
they are always prepared to try out new theories, new ideas and
will sweep their children along in their enthusiasm. And if their
offspring should take up a new hobby or bring home a project
from school, the Tiger parent is likely to get quite carried away in
the excitement of joining in. Open-minded and non-conformist
themselves, they are able to understand any rebellious
tendencies in their young, but they WILL NOT brook bad
behaviour or discourtesy from them towards others. They believe
in teaching their children by their own example, or by putting
views and lessons on life across in story-form, especially if
there's a moral or two tucked away somewhere in the tale.
The Tiger child:
Little Tigers make bright, friendly and affectionate
children, ever inventive and full of life and of bright ideas. They
are boisterous, noisy and competitive with no less energy and
enthusiasm for life than their adult counterparts. With their sunny
and outgoing natures, they easily make friends and soon become
popular amongst their peers. Quick to learn and to catch on, they
have a Peter-Pan excitement about life that leads them to ask
interminable questions and that gives them a driving desire to
explore to the very limits of their environment and their
experience. They can be stubborn changes of mood - unless
taught from a very early age the value of compromise. As they
grow in against authority, to rebel against conventions, against
rules and regulations. Consequently, in carving out their own
destiny for themselves, some could well go against the wishes of
their parents, drop out or experiment for a time with a Bohemian
way of life.
Health:
Tigers generally enjoy good, vigorous health. They do, however,
need to learn to pace themselves so that they use their energies
more consistently rather that over-stretch their resources in great
swoops of activity that then leaves them exhausted and in need
of recurperation.
Compatibility:
Tigers are compatible with Horses.Both love activity and living
life to the full. To say nothing of the fact that the Horse is better
at sensing danger than the more scattered Tiger. The Boar
provides him with security; practical, fun-loving Dogs are also a
good match. Dogs are probably the only Animal sign capable of
reasoning with the Tiger. Rats, Sheep and Roosters combine well
with the Tiger, as do other Tigers, although that relationship is
sure to be strenuous. About all the extravagant Tiger and the
cool, collected Snake have in common is am equally suspicious
view of the world. In the Tiger, this expresses itself in rash
accusation, but the ways of the Snake are cold and calculated.
They never find harmony. The Monkey has no defence but to
deceive the Tiger with its clever ways, whereas the rebelliousness
of the Tiger is sure to enrage the Ox. In a contest like that, the
Tiger always loses.
