A day for balance. Think about the right ratio of work to rest.
There may be minor friction for Tiger today. Before things heat up, pause and anchor the conversation in facts. Use the incoming energy on something you have been putting off.
The sign of courage and justice. A born leader who guides the group with charisma and drive.
The Tiger is brave and confident and cannot stand injustice. Strong in leadership and ambition, though a hot temper and a tendency to act alone can cause friction.
Loves head-on. Expresses interest actively and protects a partner reliably, but tends to take the lead — mutual respect keeps things healthy.
Shines where challenge and decisiveness matter — management, politics, the military or police, sports, founding a business.
Earns big and spends big. Strong at bold investment, but planning over impulse keeps finances stable.

The tale says it forced its way across the current on strength alone and still could not catch the two ahead. What it lost on was method, not ability. The In (寅) hour (3–5am) is just before the dark lifts — the first stirring of the day.
Read from the In (寅) seat. What do these terms mean?
Three Harmony three signs that together form one element · Six Harmony one of the six pairs the twelve fold into · Neutral no fixed harmony or clash · Same Seat the same branch twice · Punishment a three-way knot that presses on itself · Clash directly opposite on the circleTiger is the start and Horse the middle. Add Dog at the close and the three make Fire.
Tiger is the start and Dog the close. Add Horse at the middle and the three make Fire.
Together they turn to Wood. Early spring and early winter are 3 steps apart, mirrored across the line between Rat–Ox and Horse–Goat.
Water feeds Wood, so Rat supports; 2 steps apart (lunar months 11, 1).
Wood presses on Earth; 1 step apart (lunar months 12, 1).
Tiger × Tiger
Season, hour and direction all coincide (early spring, 3–5am, east-northeast). Horse and Dog fill what is missing.
Both run on Wood; 1 step apart (lunar months 1, 2).
Wood presses on Earth; 2 steps apart (lunar months 1, 3).
Wood presses on Earth; 5 steps apart (lunar months 1, 6).
Metal presses on Wood; 5 steps apart (lunar months 1, 8).
It completes when Monkey, the missing third, joins.
East-northeast against west-southwest, 3–5am against 3–5pm — and Wood against Metal.
Take 2022: the Tiger year begins on Feb 1, the lunar new year — anyone born before that is still the Ox. Saju counts the year from Lichun instead, which fell on Feb 4 that year, so births between the two dates carry one sign by custom and another in the chart. Why two different rules?
| Year | Starts (lunar new year) | Lichun (Saju year) |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | Feb 1 | Feb 4 |
| 2010 | Feb 14 | Feb 4 |
| 1998 | Jan 28 | Feb 4 |
| 1986 | Feb 9 | Feb 4 |
| 1974 | Jan 23 | Feb 4 |
| 1962 | Feb 5 | Feb 4 |
The branch repeats every twelve years but the stem runs on a ten-year cycle, so the same pairing only comes back after sixty. That makes five kinds of Tiger year, each carrying a different stem element on top of Wood.
2022, 2010, 1998, 1986, 1974, 1962, 1950 and 1938 are Tiger years. If born before the lunar new year you may belong to the previous sign, the Ox.
The Tiger's best matches are the Horse and Dog, and it pairs well with the Pig. It clashes most with the Monkey.
A quick temper and unilateral decisions. Pausing and listening to others makes its natural leadership shine even brighter.
