Chinese Horoscope

Ok - this is tooooo funny. And not just a little bit spooky.

Characteristics of a Tiger

Passionate and dynamic, the Tiger is a stick of dynamite waiting to go off. They are born leaders and usually have the charisma to cause people to naturally follow them. Yet, they have a sensitive, even artistic side as seen in the passionate dancer, Rudolf Nureyev. They are also nurturers, and the Tiger lady makes a great mom. The downside is they are often hot-headed and foolhardy and may not always justify the faith we place in them to lead us. Their fault-finding and rebelliousness can be almost unbearable at times. Still, we love the excitement they bring into our lives and their redoubtable accomplishments.

Positive Traits:

Adventurous, affectionate, charitable, colorful, courageous, dynamic, empathetic, exciting, humorous, optimistic, playful and resolute.The adventurous and courageous Tiger is a born leader. You are not afraid to blaze new trails, and, given your independent streak, you are more than willing to go it alone if necessary. Your firm determination also makes you a fierce competitor.

Your passion also gives you the potential to be a star performer. Colorful and dynamic, you have a commanding presence before any group. Yes, we can count on you to command our attention and generate excitement.

Interestingly, you have another side, that of the playful kitten. It is characterized not only by youthful innocence and optimism but also a playful sense of humor. You enjoy telling jokes, which are all the more funny because people usually see your serious side and are caught off guard to see you out of character.

Your kinder and gentler side also includes a genuine humanitarian streak. You are empathetic and keenly sense the emotions and feelings of others, to which you respond with compassion and a sincere desire to help when needed.

Negitive Traits:

Anxious, argumentative, authoritarian, critical, domineering, edgy, impatient, impulsive, narrow minded, rash, ruthless, self centered and temperamental.

The downside of the Tiger's passion is that it can lead to emotional distress, especially when frustrated by people or events. You have a tendency to be anxious and edgy. This uneasiness of mind could come from brooding fear about some contingency or simply a feeling of being tense or on edge.

Your high energy level fueled by passion often makes you impatient. You want to do things right away and can become deeply frustrated with unplanned delays. Your rashness sometimes manifests itself as impulsive behavior. There is a bit of the fools rush in mentality in you. In other words, you do not always think things through before you act.

You have a tendency to be self centered; so, this hasty action occasionally fails to take into consideration its affect on others. Your focus on yourself can manifest itself in a form of narrow mindedness as contempt for the interests of others. You also can hurt others by being overly critical and argumentative when they do not perform up to the high standards you set for yourself. And, you almost demand that they do. Your sign is a strong one, and it is not surprising you have a tendency to be authoritarian and domineering. At your worst, you can even be ruthless. It is not wise to cross you deliberately.

Qualities Admired: Forthrightness, sincerity.

Pet Peeves: Boastfulness, pettiness
