In China and other countries of the Far East, a completely different magic calendar is adopted than in Europe. There is no place for the monthly signs of the zodiac through which the sun passes through the year. According to the eastern calendar, the fate and character of people is controlled by magical animals. They "set the tone" for the character of a person who is under their protection. There are twelve such “guardian angels,” as in the European calendar. But if in the Roman horoscope all the signs of the zodiac prevail for a month, then Chinese animals reign for about a year. It is clear that not all people born, for example, in 1985, are alike, like identical twins. The patron animal bestows its wards with various traits from its arsenal of spiritual qualities. In this article we will look at the year of the Tiger. What years were under his patronage and what did this wayward cat give people?
How to calculate your affiliation according to the Chinese horoscope?
The eastern calendar is “tied” not to the Sun, but to the Moon. Therefore, the entry into the rights of a magical animal does not occur on the first of January, as you might think, but later. The arrival of the New Year, the Chinese celebrate with great fanfare. But the date of the holiday itself is migratory. For example, in 2014 it was celebrated on February 1. From that day on, the Blue Wooden Horse began to rule the world . New Year comes on the first new moon after January 15th. So its beginning may occur in the last half of January or the beginning of February. To accurately classify yourself as a protege of this or that animal, you need to climb into the archives and see when that very new moon happened in the year of your birth. That is, if you were born, say, on January 28, 1965, your patron will not be the Serpent, but the Dragon. A completely different animal, a completely different fate. Thus, it is not enough to know what the year of the Tiger portends, which years this sign covers, but also the day on which this beast passed its “inauguration”.
General and private
Magical animals alternate according to a twelve-year cycle. People born in the same sign, with a difference in age of 12, 24, 36 and so on, understand each other perfectly. It cannot be said that conflicts never arise between them, but they can get along perfectly with each other. This does not apply to the Tigers. Under one roof, they will arrange endless cat fights until one of them surrenders and leaves.
So when was the year of the Tiger, what years in the XX and XXI centuries were under his rule? This is 1902 and 1914 (the beginning of the First World War, which is very indicative of an aggressive animal). Further, the Tiger appeared on the world stage in 1938, when the Munich Agreement was signed . Then there were relatively calm 1950s, 1962s and 1974s. In 1986, as you know, perestroika began. Then there were 1998 and 2010. The tiger is expected in 2022, 2034 and so on, every twelve years. It must be taken into account that in the Chinese calendar magic animals also have colors and elements. Therefore, it is necessary to distinguish between a metal tiger, water, wood, fire and earth. Elements and coloring make their adjustments to the character of a person born under this sign, and also impose a certain imprint on the life of all people in a given year.
General horoscope
Magical animals bestow wards with their qualities. The snake gives wisdom, Monkey - resourcefulness, Dog - devotion, and so on. Everyone has advantages and disadvantages. And magical animals are no exception. Therefore, it cannot be argued that all people born in one year will be either good or bad. Indeed, between courage and recklessness, cowardice and caution, frugality and stinginess, a very narrow line sometimes lies. People born in the year of the Tiger will inherit from their patron the strength of character, courage and the ability to carry people along. However, like all representatives of the cat family, they are sensitive, willful, unbalanced and tend to fall into irritability and even hysteria. For themselves, they do not recognize any discipline, but they demand it from others. They are born leaders, but without external control they easily turn into dictators. Failure to calculate risks can lead the Tiger and those who follow it to defeat. Under this sign, mainly politicians and military leaders are born: Admiral Nelson, Robespierre, Ivan the Terrible, Dmitry Donskoy, Karl Marx, Ho Chi Minh, Eisenhower, Charles de Gaulle ... In applied sciences, Tigers do not shine, but the feline sensuality and emotionality , make of them philosophers (Hegel), musicians (Beethoven, Paganini), writers (Bronte, Rimbaud, Rabelais, Wilde) and actors (Marilyn Monroe, Louis de Funes).
Cute cats or ferocious tigresses?
All of the above applies to both men and women. But the fair sex nevertheless, due to its complex mental organization, has a lot of additional features. A woman born in the year of the Tiger is very graceful, cute and able to impress people. But at the same time, she is very smart and ambitious. And does not hide it. The tigress is not one of those who dreams of a simple "female happiness" among pots and diapers. Very often, she clearly manifests herself in those areas that are traditionally considered masculine. These are politicians, business women, women executives. For the sake of a career, the Tigresses are ready to desert from the family front. To prevent this from happening, their Dragon, Dog or Horse should become their spouse. They should avoid marriage ties with the Monkey and the Snake.
What carries the Tiger sign for all people
The years that have passed under the leadership of this sign have never been calm. In these periods, there have always been some sharp changes in world history. We have already mentioned the Munich Agreement, but you can still recall the beginning of the Korean War, the crisis in Cuba and Cyprus, the seizure of presidential power by Yanukovych in Ukraine. But also under this sign there were significant breakthroughs in the field of scientific achievements. So, during the reign of the sign, television and dynamite were invented. And all because yang - an active principle in Chinese philosophy - accompanies the year of the Tiger. Whatever years we recall, there are always some sharp turns in politics, natural disasters, natural disasters and revolutions. At the same time, during such periods noble outbursts of people are most clearly manifested, and protracted conflicts are often resolved in the most unexpected way.
The influence of elements and color
We have already mentioned that in the Chinese horoscope, the character and destiny of a person are influenced not only by the sign itself, but also by its color and element. Let's look at 1950. What Tiger was he? Metal. This element endowed those born this year with a truly iron will and steel nerves. Such people go to their goal as a steam locomotive, sweeping away all obstacles in their path. In fact, these are the winners. People often unconditionally recognize their leadership. They are admired, idolized. White color according to Chinese mythology is inherent in sunset, autumn. Therefore, those who were born at this time of the year and time of day were especially lucky. The main disadvantage of the White Metal Tiger is impatience. When they see that not everything goes the way they want, they fall into irritability and even rage.
White tiger
The new year of assertive careerists and ambitious people gave the world and 2010. What tiger was he? The same as the 1950th - White Metallic. Now they are four years old, and their parents can confirm that they are very wayward kids. They demand that they be given a toy, and yell when the order is not executed immediately. But these are very independent children. They are gifted by nature, easy to learn. In kindergarten they are team leaders. Parents should cultivate restraint in them, as well as respect for the opinions of others. Without these qualities, an iron dictator will grow out of a white and fluffy tiger cub.
1962 year. Which tiger dominated then?
The element that protects the sign is water, and the color is black. This year, many researchers and experimenters were born. The element of water endowed its wards with developed imagination and subtle intuition. Water tigers are successful in art and especially in the literary field. Thanks to communication and a flexible mind, they easily converge with people and bribe others with their talents. The water element softens the somewhat voluntaristic nature of the Tigers. They know how to listen to the opinions of others and, if the opponent is right, change their position. Black color makes their interests versatile. Among the shortcomings can be called indecision and a frequent change of goals.
Green tree - a symbol of the resurrected life
Following 1962, the sign again took over in 1974. What year of the Tiger did it represent? The most favorable is green wooden. People born that year, unlike the rest of their fellow Tigers, are very friendly, sociable, tolerant. They will not defend their position with sheep’s stubbornness, but they will heed the opinion of a friend. The element of wood makes them flexible not only in communication and cooperation with people, but also in choosing a profession. As a rule, their interests are very versatile. They are known among friends as intellectuals with a subtle sense of humor. Green color gives them energy, passion, why they can fall into adultery. Of the negative qualities, it should be noted the lack of concentration on one goal, inconstancy.
1998 year. What Tiger did he embody?
The Chinese have a yellow color - a symbol of the emperor, supremacy. It is believed that the Yellow Tiger leads the guardians of the four doors to Heaven. These animals are also patrons of the seasons and cardinal points. But above the Blue (green), White, Red and Black Tigers, the middle - Yellow (golden) rises. He is their emperor. The element of the Earth restrains the temper inherent in all Tigers. These people are not obstinate, moderately ambitious and rational in everything. Unlike the Green Tigers, Yellow concentrates on only one goal, which it is systematically and systematically pursuing. But he is also more “mundane,” without the wild fantasy of the Water Beast. But he is very balanced, always keeps a sober head. A good speaker, knows how to negotiate, impresses people as a wise and reliable person.
