What Fire adds to the Tiger
The Tiger's Wood feeds Fire, giving the Fire Tiger a traditional pattern of turning initiative into outward expression and action. Its reading emphasizes a challenge taken up with visible conviction, a quick call for others to join and a tendency to spend enthusiasm faster than the details are settled.
The year’s visible stem is Bǐng 丙, Yang Fire; the Tiger branch 寅 retains its fixed Wood element.
