About the Tiger year

Tiger is the dramatic, charismatic protagonist of the Chinese zodiac — born for moments of confrontation and reinvention. Famous Tigers include Lady Gaga, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Cruise, Jay-Z, and Marilyn Monroe. The Tiger signature is the person who walks in and reorganizes the room around themselves: high agency, high risk tolerance, and an instinct for the bold move that pays off precisely because nobody else dared.

How Tiger years are determined

Tiger years are calculated against the lunar calendar. The five-element overlay (Wood Tiger, Fire Tiger, etc.) cycles every 60 years — so 1986 Fire Tiger and 1926 Fire Tiger share the same elemental modifier despite being a full lifetime apart.
