Beware of

Tiger

The Tiger and the Monkey will experience a lot of harsh conflict and loud disagreements during the month of August. The Tiger is very proud and expects to be treated with absolute respect while the Monkey loves to joke around and often does not take things seriously. On the clash days for the Monkey which are August 8 and August 20 the bold behavior of the Tiger will seem far too aggressive and bossy. The Monkey will try to escape the control of the Tiger by playing tricks which will only make the Tiger furious. The Fire Horse year adds a lot of fiery anger to the mix making it impossible for them to find a peaceful middle ground. The Tiger wants loyalty and direct answers but the Monkey prefers freedom and flexibility. They will only cause each other a great deal of stress so it is best they stay far apart.
