Tigers charge at life with courage and raw magnetism, drawing people in and daring them to keep up. You hate being told what to do and trust your own instincts above any rulebook, which makes you a natural leader and an occasional troublemaker. Your moods can swing fast and hot, but your warmth and generosity always win people back.

Tiger in love
In romance you are intense, exciting, and a little unpredictable, falling hard and giving your whole heart when you do. You crave a partner who respects your independence and can stand as your equal rather than chasing after you. Possessiveness or control will make you bolt, but loyalty and a sense of adventure will keep you fiercely devoted.
