Chinese Zodiac Tiger — personality, years & compatibility

Tiger (虎)

What Chinese astrology says about this sign — character, love, career, and its years.

The Tiger is king of the mountain forest: beasts part before it, and it carries presence and decision by birth. Classical texts assign it "the fierceness of yang wood" — growing force charging in a fixed direction, sooner broken than bent.

Its strengths are courage, decisiveness, and risk appetite; a born leader who steps up when everything scatters. Its weaknesses are haste and deafness to counsel — winning means pioneering, losing means tuition. There is no "wait and see" in the Tiger’s dictionary.

In love the Tiger is intense and direct — loves and hates in bold strokes, protective to the end. In work it suits opening, storming, and front-line command: startups, sales, competition, emergency and crisis work. Give the Tiger an open field rather than an office.
