The tiger itself is one of the worlds most beloved animals out there and as a totem has quite a few lessons to teach.
Power and will are a lesson, to use one’s power and to have a strong will. The tiger uses its own power to its advantage to hunt, to feed itself and its own cubs. As top of the food chain it is an important animal, and it is such an animal that helps prevent the overpopulation of herbivores. Indeed the tiger teaches to use one’s own power for good and keep a strong will even when facing odds.
As a hunter the tiger needs focus and patience for when trying to prey on an animal. When hunting one needs to be both focused and patient as a tiger. Both focus and patience are lessons many could learn.
The tigers found in the wild will tend to have a litter every three to four years with a litter of one to six. It is this maternal tiger that devotes herself dearly to her litter for their survival. Devotion is of much importance as the female tiger can tell of, caring for her children deeply until they are ready to live on their own.
The concept of Yin and Yang is very apparent when one looks at the unique pattern of tigers. Contrasting their black stripes with their orange and white fur. The tiger teaches the principal of Yin and Yang and how one needs to keep in balance. Balance of masculinity and femininity, of good and evil, this is what the tiger teaches; balance.
Tigers are known for their healing properties which causes people to go after the very parts of the tiger to use in traditional Chinese medicine and exotic herbal remedies. It is said that those with the tiger as their totem heal quickly and the power of healing is of a lesson of this beautiful hunter.
Tigers are very associated with the element of water and are known to swim, enjoying the water that they are in. The water element is of psychic ability which those with the tiger totem are said to have plenty of.

Chinese Zodiac: Monkey
The Monkey is the ninth animal of the Chinese Zodiac who rule over 3PM to 5PM, west-southeast and August. Has the saying of “I entertain” and the colours of white and yellow with the gemstone of Monkey’s being the peridot. The last Monkey’s Born were the Wood Monkey’s from 22nd January 2004 to 8th of February 2005 with the next Monkey’s born to be the Fire Monkey’s from 8th February 2016 to 27th January 2017.
Monkey’s are fun and loving people, known for being ever cheerful and energetic. These people are known to get plenty of attention, it is their charm and humour that gets this attention plus popularity. However, Monkey’s can be deceptive and will hide their opinions of others through friendliness
Monkey’s are good at problem solving, are intelligent and curious. It is this curiosity itself that will cause Monkey’s themselves thirst for more knowledge. Monkey’s can be egotistical and self-centred at times while also very opportunistic but they couldn’t care less about this due to being indifferent.
These people make loyal and devoted friends but as lovers can be very passionate and flirty, yet get easily tired of their relationship and look for another lover. I also find it amusing that it is said that Monkey’s will tease Tiger’s unmercifully but the two will make great lovers.
It is also worth noting that Monkey’s are the kind of people who can pretty much do any job as long as they put their minds to it due to their adaptability. Monkey’s are also likely to become famous or well known, but Monkey’s have also been known to not care about their own reputations.
The allies of the Monkey is the Rat and Dragon, with the secret friend being the Snake.

Chinese Zodiac: Tiger
The Tiger is the third animal to appear in the Chinese zodiac with the ruling hours of 3AM to 5AM, the direction of East-Northeast, the colours of green and red the gemstone of diamond and the month of February. The motto of the tiger is “I win.” and we are currently in the year of the tiger, starting from the 15th of February and ending the 2nd of February of next year.
Tigers are born leaders who are noble and fearless, but also have courage. They are daring fighters who will fight what they think is right. Tigers are capable of generosity even if they are selfish time to time.
These people are unpredictable and always tense, and as I once read them being described, “tempestuous yet calm, warm-hearted yet fearsome”. Tigers are highly confident, even to a point of being too confident.
Hard working and urgent, Tigers usually choose to work alone. Tigers are the one’s who if you give a job will do it with efficiency yet are the one‘s who don‘t find worth in neither power or money.
They are emotional and sensitive and capable of great love thanks to their passionate and romantic way, yet Tigers are territorial and possessive.
It is also worth mentioning Tigers competitive behaviour, who won’t pass up a challenge, especially when honour is at risk, either that or they are trying to protect their loved one’s.
The allies of the Tiger is the Horse and Dog, while their ‘secret friend’ is Pig.
