Chinese Zodiac · Sign 3 of 12
虎 · hǔ
Brave and magnetic — the one who charges in while everyone else is still deciding.
虎
Tigers tend to walk into a room like they own it. Bold and quick to challenge authority, a Tiger would rather act and adjust than wait for permission, and that confidence pulls people along with it — sometimes into fights it didn't need to pick. Underneath the swagger is genuine warmth: Tigers are generous and fiercely protective of the people they claim as their own.
Lucky numbers and colors follow popular Chinese almanac tradition and vary by source — treat them as folklore, not fact.
The Monkey sits opposite the Tiger on the zodiac wheel — the classic “six clash” (六冲). A pairing that takes extra patience.
