Year of the Tiger
The Tiger is the 3rd of the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac. The next Year of the Tiger is 2034, a Wood Tiger year starting on 19 February 2034.
The zodiac year starts at Chinese New Year, between 21 January and 20 February — so if you were born in January or early February, your animal is usually the one of the year before. (Some traditions, such as feng shui, start the year at Lichun, around 4 February, instead.)
