A Tiger Year - the Tiger is the third animal from the 12 years cycle.
Legend has it that in ancient times, Buddha asked all the animals to meet him on Chinese New Year.
Twelve came, and Buddha named a year after each one. He announced that the people born in each animal's year would have some of that animal's personality.

Those born in Tiger years are one of the most dynamic signs in the zodiac.
Tigers are truly a force of nature. Tiger is by turns dependable, unpredictable, blunt, rebellious, stubborn, obstinate, fearless and stout-hearted, tender and loving. For all the world appearing at times to be quiet homebodies, Tigers may just as suddenly change course, and pack up to travel to some far-flung exotic destination.
The Tiger is said to be lucky vivid and engaging. An another attribute of the Tiger is his incredible bravery, evidenced in his willingness to engage in battle or his undying courage. Maybe he’s so brave because he is so lucky. But the Chinese say a Tiger having a Tiger in the house is the very best protection against the evils of fire, burglary.
Compatible with: Horses and Dogs.
