People born under this sign are renowned for being powerful, courageous and deep thinkers. Orientals believe that boys born under this sign may be destined to become rulers. Tiger people show a great deal of sympathy for those that they love. Although exceptionally competent, they are often given more credit than they deserve for their achievements. A tiger person can be stubborn and selfish, even mean. Decisions baffle them; many times they wait too long to make one. Narrow-minded by nature, it is difficult for tiger people to trust others. They are highly respected, and yet they tend to resent their elders and anyone in authority. The Orientals say that everyone must guard against three disasters in life: fire, thieves and ghosts. It is widely believed that the tiger is capable of protecting you against all three, and so tiger people are unusually free of these threats
