Oh one more thing to add:
Happyme, the tiger indeed matches me according to the great site you mentioned (it is a white t..iger with blue eyes, I've been told...besides the fact that the tiger is my ascendant in the Chinese horoscope in addition to me being a dragon by birth...):
The Tiger
Tigers are magnificent animals that hold an air of independence and confidence. Solitary animals (I can be a bit of a loner sometimes), males and females come together only during the mating season. The cubs stay with the mother into their second year partly because they are born blind. To compensate for this their inner sight is fully operational. This is symbolic for those with this medicine. Children born into this medicine are natural clairvoyants and prophets. Go figure now, my abilities are only increasing with each passing day it seems...
Mysticism and mythology surround this animal. The Chinese believe that the tigers head often carries the Chinese "mark of wang," or king, on its forehead. This is can be seen within the patterns of its fur. One vertical line with three horizontal ones passing through it. Because of this Tiger is one of the 12 signs of Chinese astrology.
Muscular, powerful and agile the tiger can travel great distances in search of food. The distance they cover depends on how much prey there is to eat. The less prey the further their territory extends. Walking on their toes with the back part of the foot raised tigers stalk their prey or lie and wait and then spring unexpectedly on them. Tigers are nocturnal hunters and hold the teachings of focus, patience and surprise. Some people that know me unfortunately had to suffer hurt through those abilities of mine, because they would not stop mistreating me. When I am being hunted, I can turn around and start hunting a bit on my own... but don't be scared now, I am usually a very nice person lol
Tigers are also known for their healing properties. Their body parts are sought for use in traditional Chinese medicine and exotic herbal remedies. Their orange gold coloring symbolizes vitality and regeneration. Those with this medicine heal quickly. My doctor told me that my body has an exceptional ability to heal itself quicker than normal in a human being, so fast as a matter of fact that I even build excessive scar tissue unless I take care of that little problem right away...
The tigers sight, smell and hearing is excellent. They have round pupils and yellow irises, except for the blue eyes of the white tiger. Due to a retinal adaptation that reflects light back to the retina, the night vision of the tiger is six times better than that of humans. Tiger teaches us how to see into the world of the extraordinary. Hm that almost proves my ability to see beyond things, huh?
Those with this medicine have a strong sensitivity to touch and make excellent body workers. I am pretty good at giving massages I am being told... it comes naturally... and then there's my Reiki... Creating sacred space where others cannot enter, spending time alone in order to gather the energy required to move tirelessly throughout life is advantageous for those with this totem. When tiger appears get ready for adventure, challenge and change. The power, passion and vitality of tiger will activate the same components within yourself. Oh boy, ...
Love and light!
