What is the Chinese zodiac story?
The Chinese use the lunar calendar for festive occasions including the New Year which falls somewhere between late January and early February. The cycle of twelve animal signs derives from Chinese folklore as a method for naming the years. The animals follow one another in an established order and are repeated every twelve years - rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig. Each animal has particular characteristics and people born in a certain year are believed to take on these characteristics.
Who are considered as Tigers?
The most relevant years of the Tiger include 2022, 2010, 1998, 1986, 1974, 1962, 1950, and 1938. If you were born in one of these calendar years, your Chinese zodiac sign is probably the Tiger, and in China, you would be known as a Tiger.
What are the characteristics of a Tiger?
People born in the Year of the Tiger are born leaders, who walk and talk assertively and inspire respect. They are courageous and energetic, love a challenge or competition, and are prepared to take risks. They are hungry for excitement and crave attention. They can also be rebellious, short-tempered, and outspoken, preferring to give orders rather than take them, which often leads to conflict. Tiger people may appear calm but there is often a hidden aggressiveness, but they can also be sensitive, humorous, and capable of great generosity and love.
One thing for sure is 2022 will see many fundamental changes and there will be no dull moments in the Year of the Tiger.
