The Tiger

Known for their fiery passion, daring, and fearlessness, Tigers are universally respected and revered for their courage by both friends and foes.   The fearlessness Tigers makes them the symbol that wards of the three main disasters of the household, namely fire, thieves, and ghosts. 

With an impulsive, vivacious, and dynamic personality, it's not surprsing to find that Tigers have little regard for rules and regulations that would otherwise bridle their free-spirit.  These qualities make them magnetic characters who always end up being the center of attention in social settings.  Moreover, their courageness and universal attractiveness make popular leaders.

The fiery passion and emotionality of Tigers makes them unpredictable.  Tigers seem to be the epitome of contradictions because their personality is so dynamic.  They can go from being fiery and fearless to calm and emotional in a blink of an eye.  So you have to make sure you keep an eye on Tigers, because you never know what you're going to get!

In business, Tigers are great motivators.  They tackle any job or assignment  with the same passion and enthusiasm that they live their lives.  Their strength is to lead by example because their enrgy and vivacity are very contagious to all around them. 

However, in traditional leadership roles they can be impatient at times since they are so fiery and  passionate.  Tigers like it when things are done effciently and correctly.  Being restricted is not something Tigers tolerate very well, so they can easily give orders but they don't take orders very well.

The passionate, sensitive, emotional,and romantic qualities of Tigers make them great lovers.  However, the intensity of the emotions that Tigers experience quite frequently makes jealous and possessive.  More often than not, the friends and family of Tigers love and adore them for their passion.
