This year plays out differently for the 12 zodiac signs in Chinese astrology. Overall, the Year of the Tiger is expected to signify big changes, with a Feng Shui expert telling CNN that the Tiger is one of the first animals to be associated with spring. Meanwhile, the last three years, belonging to the Pig, Rat, and Ox, were all winter years.
