Chinese Astrology for 2012

People born under the Chinese birth sign of The Year of the Tiger are sensitive, deep thinkers and capable of great sympathy. But watch out, because they can be very short-tempered!

Tiger people are generally well respected by others but sometimes they come into conflict with older people or those in authority.

Tigers often find it hard to make up their minds, which can result in a poor decision made in haste or a good decision when too late. They are often suspicious of others, but they are courageous and powerful.

The qualities or attributes of Metal according to the Ancient Chinese are unyieldingness, rigidity, persistence, strength and determination. Metal is very strong and the metal person can be ambitious, forceful, controlling and very set in their ways. They are frustratingly self-reliant and prefer to deal with their problems on their own, which can make their closest friends and relatives feel shut out.

The metal person is also materialistic, business minded, good at organising and enjoys stability. However they also appreciate luxury and enjoy the good things in life.

Just as metal conducts electricity, Metal people can have very strong impulses and can influence change and transformation in those who come into close contact. Metal is believed to govern the lungs, nose and skin. The negative emotion associated with metal is grief, while the positive emotion is courage.

Physically powerful, brave, impulsive, courageous, smart, instinctive, straightforward and outgoing, people born in The Year of the Tiger have an overpowering attraction. They are also gracious, kind and protective, but are very independent.

Although loving and friendly, at times Tigers can also be extremely selfish, intolerant and short tempered. They enjoy attention, which they will seek out and love power. This, plus their suspicious nature, can lead to jealousy in relationships.

Tigers like to live "on the edge", which can get them into trouble. As can their tendency to take hasty action. Their search for excitement means they are not frightened to take risks and they are natural leaders.

Stubbornly persistent, Tigers will never give up, no matter how annoyed or aggravated they may become.

At times rebellious, Tigers will take on authority and are comfortable speaking out about what they believe is wrong in society. Even if you don't agree with the Tiger, you will grudgingly admire the way they protest.
