Year of the Tiger: Today

What are Tiger people like?

Tigers are brave and full of drive. You lead the way, and your strong sense of justice makes it hard to stay quiet when something is unfair.

More about the Tiger

The Tiger is known as a brave and spirited sign. People of this year are often said to step forward first when things get tough, which naturally puts them in front of the group. They are open with feelings, clear about what they like and dislike, and carry a strong sense of justice that will not let unfairness slide. Among friends they are the protector who takes your side first when you are in trouble. With so much energy, they can run nonstop and then crash all at once, so making time to catch their breath is important. When that energy is well gathered, they light up everyone around them.

Things to watch

• May run nonstop and then tire all at once

The Tiger at the office

Tigers are often said to shine where decisiveness and drive are needed: opening new markets, handling crises, and leading teams. They boldly set a direction when things are stuck and get the team moving, and they speak up first when a coworker is treated unfairly. With a calm coworker who keeps track of the schedule, their drive lasts much longer.

Getting along with the Tiger

With a Tiger, speak frankly instead of hinting. If you disagree, explain your reasons calmly without heated feelings, and they will listen. When they are racing too hard, be the one to suggest a short break. Give them your trust and they will protect you even more than you expect.

Best and trickiest matches for the Tiger

In traditional Korean zodiac matching, the Tiger forms a triple harmony (samhap) with the Horse and Dog and a six harmony (yukhap) with the Pig. It clashes (chung) with the Monkey and has a wonjin tension with the Rooster. These come from old folk beliefs, so enjoy them for fun and judge real relationships by words and actions.

You led the way all day, and now it is your turn to rest.
