Yang Metal · Brave · Confident · Competitive
Quick answer
If you were born between February 17, 1950 and February 5, 1951, your Chinese zodiac animal is the Tiger (金虎), a Yang Metal year. The Chinese year starts at Chinese New Year, not on January 1, so if your birthday is earlier in 1950 you are a Ox (牛) instead.
People born in 1950 turn 76 in 2026 (or 75, before their birthday).

Tigers are bold, charismatic and love a challenge. They lead naturally and protect others, but can be impulsive and restless.
As a Yang Metal sign, your element adds its own flavor to the Tiger nature. Tradition pairs each animal with one of five elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) in a repeating cycle, so the same animal has five different elemental versions over 60 years.
