Ascendants of the Tiger
The ascendants below are related to the Chinese Lunar Sign of the Tiger. Each period of time during the day corresponds to a different Chinese horoscope. So, although it is the Tiger’s individual choice on which path he will take in life, there may perhaps be other “inner voices” which will influence him. These “inner voices”, “other self” or “inner struggle” comes from their conflicting ascendants.
11PM – 1AM: The Rat Hours
You are charming and loving, but quick-tempered and hate being ignored. In fact, the attention-seeking side of you will pick a fight just so you have the experience of making up. With your eloquence and extroverted personality, you will have no troubling finding greater success if you allow your Rat side to regulate your spendthrift ways.
1AM – 3AM: The Ox Hours
The strong will, almost stubbornness of the Ox meets the temperamental but lively nature of the Tiger. The result is hopefully a level-headed, disciplined Tiger who is more predictable and less prone to dramatics.
3AM – 5AM: The Tiger Hours
Dull moments are not a feature of this Tiger’s life. Expressive without hesitation, you are vivacious and charming, or ready to pounce when angry. As a pure Tiger sign, you receive a double dose of every Tiger characteristic, whether positive or not.
5AM – 7AM: The Rabbit Hours
It would be their mistake for anyone to think that this Tiger is not a true Tiger, given they appear more serene and even docile compared to other Tigers. With the Rabbit influence, you are more patient and less reckless, leading to better decision-making. You also possess the skill of diplomacy and have an ability to avoid confrontation, since Rabbits do not enjoy confrontations as much as the Tiger does.
7AM – 9AM: The Dragon Hours
The Dragon will boost the Tiger in you, making you extra competitive just so you can prove you are the best. When beaten, you are easily frustrated or angry, especially when you do not gain others’ cooperation. Your leadership ability is hampered by your unpredictability and demanding nature.
9AM-11AM: The Snake Hours
The normal hotheaded Tiger will be cooled by the Snake’s wise influence, so you may find yourself more objective and less prone to explosive outbursts. Together with the Snake’s intuition, this Tiger will have the ability to negotiate more difficult deals.
11AM-1PM: The Horse Hours
Although adaptable as a Tiger, the Horse ascendant will influence you towards a more calculated and practical approach, since the Horse’s concern is self-preservation. However, there is a risk you will lack a serious sense of responsibility, given these two signs cherish freedom.
1PM-3PM: The Sheep Hours
The benefits of your artistic Tiger nature may be dampened by the Sheep’s jealousy and possessiveness, which will exacerbate your emotional Tiger side. If this can be curbed, then you will be able to use your talent for beauty and art to gain the limelight you seek.
3PM-5PM: The Monkey Hours
Unlike the Tiger who can rely on brute force, the Monkey is not able to do so. Combining these two signs produces a person who can marry charm and strength with wit and cunning. These characteristics will help you to tackle problems creatively, a behaviour that is only complemented by the Tiger’s optimism and readiness to take on a challenge. However, you should be aware that having the most opposing sign as your ascendant means you will face a constant struggle of which side to choose.
5PM-7PM: The Rooster Hours
This is a meeting of the Rooster who is adept at problem-solving, and the Tiger who has a tendency to create trouble. It is a combination that produces a very interesting personality which draws the attention of onlookers who marvel at your ability to accomplish great things.
7PM-9PM: The Dog Hours
A Dog’s common traits are fair play and common sense, both of which will temper the Tiger’s ego and tendency to intimidate and argue. This results in a Tiger that is easier to deal with. Your sense of fair play means you take a liking to democracy, and will not back down from a fight if you feel an injustice has been committed. However, in this case, your sharp tongue is your choice of weapon, rather than your brawn.
9PM-11PM: The Pig Hours
The Pig in you will encourage your love for the finer things in life, be it good food or beautiful things. Combined with your outgoing and impulsive personality, you have no problems attracting love and friends. Being generous and very helpful, you also have no problems keeping your friends. However, the incompatible points of this combination can also encourage your destructive behaviours, namely your vindictiveness so it is important to keep a constant check of yourself, and not allow yourself to get your way all of the time.
