Combined Western and Chinese Zodiacs
Capricorn Tiger

Capricorns embody the autumnal period, around the mid- to late-sixties of a human lifetime. They tend to have an ingrained faith in their own abilities, as if they were born already blessed with great life experience. They are grounded by their element of Earth: diligent, patient, and adept at conserving resources to further their significant ambitions. Above all, Capricorns are masterful at exercising control, at understanding and wielding power. The challenges they face tend to arise from an innate pessimism, an impression that time is running out for them to capitalize on their abundant skills.

Born in the third year of the Eastern zodiac, Tiger souls tend to be dignified and courageous from birth. In many respects, their nature reflects the majestic reputation of their namesake animal. While they can be effective leaders in a group context, they tend to be no less impactful alone. Whatever their situation, a Tiger's powerful self-belief and independent spirit make them fearless in pursuit of justice and innovation. To be sure, Tigers are sometimes rightly accused of volatility. They can be vicious when they think others need cutting down to size, and may charge headlong into more risks than is good for them. These are no "shrinking violets" or "yes people"! This sign can also find it hard to strike a healthy balance between periods of frantic activity and sloth. But it is in their nobility and devotion to others that the true worth of the Tiger reveals itself. For beneath their usually impressive skills, visual appeal, and high-minded ambitions, there lies a deeply caring soul, capable of legendary honour and self-sacrifice.
