Fire Tiger personality
A Fire Tiger reading places the animal's courage in full view, adding expression and urgency to its willingness to act. Conviction is communicated directly and enthusiasm can make a difficult beginning feel possible. This is also where the Tiger's impatience is most exposed: a strong opening needs space for questions rather than assuming that everyone shares the same pace.
