Year of the Tiger
- Courage
- Responsibility
- Wood
As the hour of Yin turns toward dawn, the tiger moves through the mountain forest. People born in the Year of the Tiger have a quiet nerve: they take responsibility, protect those around them, and follow their chosen path to the end. Still as a mountain at rest, swift as wind in motion.

The animal changes at Start of Spring (around Feb 4). Many people use Chinese New Year instead, so if you were born in January or early February, check which year applies.
Your sign comes from your birthday and your animal from your year. A BaZi chart uses your year, month, day and hour together.
