According to Chinese Astrology, 1926 is the Year of the Tiger and it is the Fire element. Based on the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, those born in 1926 are Tigers. The Chinese Tiger year repeats every 12 years. According to the Chinese lunar calendar, those born between 13 February 1926 and 1 February 1927 are considered born in the Chinese year 1926 and are a Tiger sign. In addition, each Tiger year is also represented by 5 elements in Chinese astrology that express character and behavior.
