The element of 1950
⚔️ Yang Metal — Metal is resolve, discipline, and ambition. It sharpens an animal into something focused and unbending, with strong principles and a will of steel. Metal types achieve a great deal, but their rigidity and pride can isolate them.
People born in the Year of the Tiger
The Tiger is raw courage with a pulse. Magnetic, impulsive, and allergic to being controlled, Tigers charge at life and dare the world to keep up. They are natural rebels and protectors who feel injustice physically and act on it before thinking it through. People are drawn to a Tiger's heat — the confidence, the conviction, the sense that something is always about to happen — and just as often singed by it. A Tiger would rather lose spectacularly than win by playing small.
