Valentine’s Day doubles as Chinese New Year this year, ushering in the Year of the Tiger. When the Tiger rules the Chinese calendar, people born under the Tiger will seem much more desirable and be able to more easily seduce the ones they want. People will be mysteriously drawn to them and approach with passion and seduction in mind. Consequently, there is a strong likelihood that if you are single, your attraction to a Tiger could become a central theme this year. Should you find yourself under a Tiger’s spell, know that the Tiger is an intelligent sign of the Chinese zodiac. The hatred of ambiguity is a function of the Tiger’s sharp mind, always seeking to finish each mental puzzle that life may offer.

How To Determine Your Chinese Animal Sign
Unlike Western astrology, where your sign is determined by the month and day you were born, your sign under Chinese astrology is based on your birth year. Find your birth year below to see what your Chinese animal sign is. Keep in mind that the Chinese New Year correlates with the New Moon in Aquarius, beginning as early as January 20 and as late as February 19. Given Aquarius’s lunar requirement, determining your Chinese animal sign isn’t as straightforward as just using your birth year:
- If your birthday falls between January 1 and January 20, your Chinese animal sign is the one that was ruling the year before.
- If you were born between January 20 and February 19, you need to find out if you were born before or after the New Moon in Aquarius in your birth year in order to determine your Chinese animal sign – born before the New Moon, your sign is the same as the previous year’s; born after the New Moon, your sign is as listed in your birth year below.
- If you were born after February 19, your Chinese animal sign corresponds with the birth year listed below.

Rat ( 鼠 ) 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008
You two have much to discuss. There are so many agreements between you two. Even when you disagree, fascinating ideas are exchanged!
Fertility: This union creates a family of at least three children. Buy a big house with the money you get as a wedding present. -
Ox ( 牛 ) 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009
The Tiger will not be the best companion, as your finances will be under constant scrutiny. Either he wants to spend your money or critiques how you spend it.
Fertility: One child early in the relationship and one child later on if you two are together that long. -
Tiger ( 虎 ) 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010
Two Tigers could be a dance of destiny. If you two have well-defined roles within the relationship, this is a great combination. Read more love advice for the Tiger woman.

Rabbit ( 兔 ) 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011
The Tiger is off in his own world and you in yours. You two work on projects well when brought together through chance but go your separate ways amicably when it is over.
Fertility: This is the partnership with a Tiger that specializes in unplanned pregnancies, so just when you are potty training your fourth child, watch out … -
Dragon ( 龍 ) 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000
A Tiger will treat his lovely little Dragon with great affection and be excited about becoming a part of your social circle.

Snake ( 蛇 ) 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001
The tension between a Snake and Tiger is not something to downplay. You two have different worldviews that bring out the worst by being from different cultural backgrounds.
Fertility: This is a weak possibility for children as the two of you struggle just to find mutual understanding. If other factors indicate true love, one or two brilliant children will be in the future, but they will be a handful! -
Horse ( 馬 ) 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002

The Tiger is your nemesis, your maddening muse, an influential person in your life but not one you can ever come to peace with. Many will speak with awe about the night they witnessed you two get into a disagreement.
Fertility: The tension between you two creates a truly golden child, a blessing and a challenge to you both. Your golden child will, through the years, be a reminder of everything you loved about your Tiger man, as well as the things about him that made you question why you ever got together with him. -
Rooster ( 雞 ) 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005

Dog ( 狗 ) 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006
The Tiger and you share much in common in your backgrounds, but you will grow apart as your interests in life follow different paths. You remain casual friends but any love interaction will be fleeting.
Fertility: All of your children will come early in your relationship. This is the zodiac combination most likely to produce twins or triplets of any partnering involving a Tiger man. -
Pig ( 豬 ) 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007

Fertility: This is a fertile combination. If your Tiger man has children in another relationship, do not be so sure he is through reproducing. The Pig brings out his ego manifested as pure machismo.
