People born in Tiger Year: Be cautious in every aspect of life.
"But this is not 100 percent true," says Dong Yilin, who comes from a long line of masters of I Ching . "Tiger is the chief executive of this year, thus people born in Tiger Year are also proposed to be the king of the year," Dong explained. "But Chinese have a saying that a mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, thus Tiger people are in effect threatened by their peers."
