Happy Lunar New Year everyone!!!

This year, we celebrate the Year of the Tiger - the majestic animal who came in third place! Third place in what, you may ask? Well, the Chinese Zodiac dates back to the Qin Dynasty over 2000 years ago - as the legend goes, the Jade Emperor challenged all the animals in the Kingdom to a “Great Race.” Whoever arrived at his palace first would win his favour!

The Tiger ended up placing third after the opportunistic Rat and hardworking Ox . In the same light, people born in the year of the Tiger (... 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998 or 2010) are extremely competitive people, known for their courage and ambition! But they’re also extremely generous with a drive to help others, and also seek justice above all.

Which zodiac year were you born in? Let us know in the comments below! Open / Comment
