Discover what it means if
you were born under the Year of the Tiger, and what you can expect in 2010.
The Chinese astrology’s 12 year cycle encompasses the years of the
Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig, Rat and
Ox. The 12 animals follow in succession and repeat every 12 years meaning that
2010 is the Year of the Tiger, and it will be again in another 12 years time.
The Chinese zodiac is based on the Chinese Lunar Calendar rather than the Gregorian
calendar. Because the Chinese Lunar Calendar bases the start of the year on the
cycles of the moon, Chinese New Year doesn’t always fall on the same day every
year. It can fall between late January and the middle of February, this year
however, it was on the 14th of February 2010.
Unlike the Western Zodiac, which allocates a star sign to a person
based on the time of month that person was born, the Chinese Zodiac allocates
an animal sign based on what year that person was born.
