As the West sees the lion as the king of beasts, so the East sees the tiger. Seen as a symbol of not only royalty but the things that come along with it – like power and wealth – the tiger is indeed a good, intelligent protector.

Where the ox is patience, the tiger is impatience. Sometimes reckless and often moody and restless, the tiger can be a force to be reckoned with be you friend or foe. Still, it is always better to be friends with this wise creature for all the good fortune and faithful friendship s/he will give you.

The tiger is a strange, shifting creature, often ferocious when needed but soft, caring and loving in other moments. A natural leader, the tiger may also seek out quiet cool places to be alone with their thoughts away from the press of others.

Tigers – and those who know tigers – need to remember that moods flux but good relationships will always be there if you treat them right.

Remember to refer to this post for information about what your element and yin or yang mean in accordance to your sign.
