In 2010, the Chinese calendar will move into the Year of the Tiger for the first time in 12 years, and for those born in the Year of the Tiger, the spotlight is now on you!

Those born in the year of the Tiger are born leaders, and they command the respect of those around them. They use their natural influence for good, and are known for their generosity to those in need. A Tiger is usually never short of friends, thank to their charming and irresistable ways! They have a kind heart and are very loving to their family and friends.

However, like wild tigers, they can be impulsive and quick to ‘pounce’ on those who upset them! They are prone to making rash decisions, and tend to rebel against anyone who tries to pressure them into something that they don’t want to do. Their ability to become wrapped up in their emotions can leave them feeling highly stressed, and this may result in wild mood swings.

They are not afraid of confrontation and can be quite aggressive, which is why many Tigers have battled their way to the top of the corporate ladder.

If Tigers can learn to find a middle ground in life, and avoid the emotional rollercoaster they are used to, they may feel a lot more settled. Moderation is the key to finding happiness for a Tiger.
