Combined Western and Chinese Zodiacs
Leo Tiger

Leo represents the age of the fully mature human adult. Leos thus tend to be proud, ambitious, resolute, and powerful. Embodying the Fixed and most productive modality of the element of Fire, Leos are usually astonishingly capable in their chosen fields. They have unerring faith in their vision of all that is worthy and desirable. Towards others, they can be infinitely generous or loftily dismissive, depending on whether their high standards of honor are met. Leos may occasionally be vulnerable to high-mindedness and vanity. But for the most part, they are simply worthy of praise and delighted to be properly recognized.

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.
