For those of us who have already forgotten our New Year's Resolutions, we get another chance to begin again: The Year of the Golden Tiger, has just begun on February 14, 2010, according to the Chinese Lunar Calendar.
The Chinese Zodiac contains 12 different symbols, but they change every year, not every month. They also do not change on the same day every year. So if you were born in January of 1998, you are not a tiger, but an ox. If you are born in January, you have to look to the previous sign. My son will be 12, so he is a Tiger, having been born in 1998. If you are born in February, good luck trying to figure it out!
Are you a Tiger?
According to SpringsGreetingCards.com, you are:
Courageous, active, and self-assured. Optimistic, passionate and independent. Rebellious, dynamic, and unpredictable. Quick tempered but considerate. Affectionate but careless. The Tiger is a natural born leader and symbolizes power, passion and daring.
People born in the Year of the Tiger are generally well liked because of their charming personalities. Often, failing at a given task or being unproductive in his personal or professional life can cause a Tiger to experience a deep depression. Criticism from loved ones can also generate this type of Tiger reaction.
Tigers are fond of competitions. They simply cannot pass up a challenge. They may appear cool and are unpredictable, and it would be unwise to underestimate their reactions. Natural leaders, they have a strong sense of their own dignity. They are intelligent, alert, and farsighted. Good strategists and tacticians, they often have a hidden agenda. As long as they do not risk their luck too often, and keep their restless nature under control, they will enjoy success and happiness.

They are fast learners, need challenge and often work alone. Some tend to change careers more often because they get bored easily. They are natural born leaders and perform best if working towards positions of power and influence. They like to spend money, and also to share it. They can be quite impulsive spenders because they know they can always make more.
It is interesting that their two main features are rashness and hesitation, a pair of contradictions. If they know how to relax and do things according to the situation, they can become quite successful.
