People born in a year of the Tiger are brave, competitive, unpredictable, and confident. They are very charming and well-liked by others. But sometimes, they are likely to be impetuous, irritable, and overindulged.

With stubborn personalities and tough judgment, Tigers work actively and express themselves boldly, doing things in a high-handed manner. They are authoritative and never go back on what they have said.

With great confidence and indomitable fortitude, they can be competent leaders. They will not make preparations for anything but can handle anything that comes along.

Wood, Fire, Earth, Gold, and Water Tigers

In Chinese element theory, each zodiac sign is associated with one of the five elements: Gold (Metal), Wood, Water, Fire, or Earth. For example, a Wood Tiger comes once in a 60-year cycle.

It is theorized that a person’s characteristics are decided by their birth year’s zodiac animal sign and element. This means there are five types of Tiger, each with different characteristics:

Type of Tiger Characteristics
Wood Tiger Compassionate, expansive, and open
Fire Tiger Optimistic and independent, with poor self-control
Earth Tiger Adventurous and realistic, with strong faith
Gold Tiger Females are very enthusiastic; males are indecisive, stubborn, and feminized.
Water Tiger Has a strong sense of self-esteem and learning ability

Best-Suited Careers for Tigers

The Tiger, called “the king of the animals” in China, is usually the centre of attention. They are born with leadership skills, and others respect them. Tigers are suited to any career as leaders. Tigers’ best careers are advertising agent, office manager, travel agent, actor, writer, artist, pilot, flight attendant, musician, comedian, and chauffeur. However, in their early years, the Tigers’ careers are not so smooth. After their thirties, they find their direction and gather wealth.

How to Build Relationships with Tigers

In social relationships, Tigers always have a dominant role.  Therefore, due to mistrust and overconfidence, Tigers do not like to communicate with others, so they are not good at coordinating social circles. They are inclined to use commanding means to deal with interpersonal relationships. Even though they are acquainted with many people, they do not further the relationships to make close friendships.

Understanding, patience, and tact are needed when dealing with Tigers. Tigers cannot show deep affection to their partners in love relationships because they lack a sense of romance. Partners need to be equally active to keep up with a Tiger’s sense of adventure.

Good Health for Tigers

Tigers enjoy good health. Furthermore, small illnesses, such as colds, coughs, and fever, are rarely experienced by Tigers. They are active, so they like to do various sports.

However, they should avoid excessive strenuous exercise because some dangerous activities may lead to physical harm. When involved in outdoor exercise, they should pay particular attention to warm-up exercise. Aerobic exercises, such as jogging, are suitable for keeping fit.
