Tiger Years
The year of the Tiger often brings about dramatic changes and upheaval. While some people will experience disaster and calamity, others will gain success and fortune. (It is interesting to note that both World Wars and the Korean War began in Tiger years. Bill Clinton and survivors of El Nino weather patterns can certainly attest to 1998's ferocity and unforgivingness!)

Tigers in Rooster Years
Tigers will make many forward steps for success. Almost everything they do will turn out well this year, although it may also breed envy among peers and friends.

Tiger Personality
Tigers are natural born leaders, very competitive, and not afraid of a confrontation. Because Tigers have such strong masculine properties, Tiger females are often distrusted and are seen to be usurpers of power. Tigers excel in activities favoring aggressiveness over diplomacy.

Tiger Symbolism
Tigers represent masculinity, virility, and strength.

Tiger People
Beethoven, Karl Marx, Queen Elizabeth II, Marilyn Monroe
