Chinese zodiac

Tiger 虎

The Tiger is bold action: courage, visibility, and the kind of confidence that starts things before the plan is finished.

The Tiger is the cycle's challenger: brave, direct and built for movement. It reads as courage, initiative and a refusal to wait for permission. Tigers start things, often visibly.

The shadow is recklessness and pride: the Tiger can mistake momentum for direction. The useful reading is courage — the chart shows whether it becomes leadership or collision.
