Personality of the Tiger
Bold, magnetic, brave. A natural leader who moves on instinct and courage. Core traits: brave, competitive, confident, charismatic.
People born in the Year of the Tiger (虎) tend to show these qualities in work, relationships, and how they meet challenges. Your ruling element — Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, or Water, set by your birth year — adds another layer, so a Wood Tiger and a Metal Tiger express the same core nature differently.
Tiger compatibility
The Tiger's strongest matches are the Horse and the Dog, who share the Tiger's rhythm and values. The most challenging match is the Monkey, the Tiger's zodiac opposite. Real compatibility also depends on each person's full chart — month and hour animals and elements matter as much as the year sign.
Your three animals
Most people only know their year animal. But your birth month and hour each carry their own animal too — your inner (work and family) self and your private inner self. Together with your ruling element and yin/yang polarity, they form a layered portrait. The free calculator finds all three in seconds.
