The Third Trine of the Chinese Zodiac

The Third trine of the Chinese Zodiac is comprised of the tiger, horse, and dog animal signs. All three animals value their relationships and try to build strong ones to last a lifetime. They thrive when around others and make their decisions based on their heart, not their mind. People with these animal signs are very loyal companions.

People with the tiger as their Zodiac sign were born in the years 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, and 2010. Tigers thrive in leadership roles because of their willingness to take chances. Their bravery can get them into tough situations, since tigers often react before thinking of the consequences. Tigers can get upset easily, but overall are very caring and sympathetic towards those they care about.

The years 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, and 2002 are all horse sign years. Horses are often liked by others since they are almost always happy. They like hanging out with other people rather than having time to themselves, partially due to the fact that they are easily bored. Horses have an optimistic outlook on life. They like to discover news places, learn new things, and follow their own path in life.

Dog signs were born in the years 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, and 2006. Dog personalities are very loyal, much like real dogs. They do not try and become wealthy, but often are without trying. Dog people try to stay optimistic, although they aren't as successful at it as horse personalities. Dogs often lead others, and are especially well liked for their ability to keep secrets safe.
