In Chinese astrology, I was born in the year of the Tiger, bearing the element of wood.

In Chinese astrology, the element Wood is believed to grant human warmth and generosity to a sign. Individuals bearing this element are better able to forge co-operative bonds instead of depending on solitary initiatives – something that appears to contradict the basic nature of a sign like Tiger. However the end result is often soothing and appealing personality and quite successful both in social and worldly sense.


One of the most significant influences of the Wood element is to make the Tiger much more capable of reaching out to others on a one-to-one basis. Though the essential Tiger nature is quite popular amidst friends and followers, this is more the effect of personal magnetism and a certain mystique. Instead the Wood Tiger is able to forge far more personal connections with people around, based on genuine warmth and generosity. Not only are they fiercely loyal and willing to defend their friends, but they also work tirelessly to help out a friend in need. This makes the Wood Tiger a highly popular individual so that they seem to be more of a success in the social sense. At the same time however in an effort to be useful to their loved ones, Wood Tigers may be prone to spreading themselves too thin, and should remember to take time to calm down and recharge. -- Futurescopes.com --
