According to Chinese Astrology, 1914 is the Year of the Tiger and it is the Wood element. Based on the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, those born in 1914 are Tigers. The Chinese Tiger year repeats every 12 years. According to the Chinese lunar calendar, those born between 26 January 1914 and 13 February 1915 are considered born in the Chinese year 1914 and are a Tiger sign. In addition, each Tiger year is also represented by 5 elements in Chinese astrology that express character and behavior. Therefore, each year it is referred to with a different zodiac animal name and a different element name, and this repeats only once in 60 years. 1914 is also known as the Year of the Wood Tiger. Each zodiac sign is also associated with a negative/positive expression according to the Yin Yang philosophy. The year 1914 is Yang (+) according to the Chinese calendar.
