If you take a chance, gamble for high stakes, but understand that the odds are stcked against you.
People will do drastic and dramatic things on the spur of the moment. It is not surprising that Watergate and the dram of Nixon's resignation culminated in the hotheaded year of the Tiger.

The Tiger Child
A Tiger child could be a bundle of joy and a holy terror at the same time. A little live wire who dashes about sparkling with activity, he will throw himself into the thick of things. Even a very quiet one will know exactly where the action is and make a bee line for it.
He is a charming, bright and self-confident chatterbox, and there will be no holding him back. His insatiable curiosity and inquisitiveness will lead him to pounce at anything that moves, and he will get into all sorts of predicaments. Hyperactive and high strung, he likes romping, screaming and rough play.
