Year of the Tiger

Tigers arrive before their reasons do. Bold, magnetic, and allergic to half-measures, they act on conviction while others are still drafting the pros and cons — and their instincts are right often enough to be unnerving. A Tiger needs a cause; without one they turn restless and pick fights with the furniture of their own life. The shadow is impulse and pride: leaping first, roaring when questioned. At their best, Tigers are the courage of the whole room — the one who says the true thing out loud and makes the risky, necessary move look inevitable.
