How they combine

The Tiger's temper in uniform: martial order fitted onto a predator — the fiercest soldier in a disciplined unit. The gift is "suicide missions, by-the-book execution" — the hard battles others decline, it takes and carries to the end. The risk is refusing every superior: rank, in its eyes, is only a provisional concession.

The Tiger side

Its strengths are courage, decisiveness, and risk appetite; a born leader who steps up when everything scatters. Its weaknesses are haste and deafness to counsel — winning means pioneering, losing means tuition. There is no "wait and see" in the Tiger’s dictionary.

The Capricorn side

Its strengths are discipline, responsibility, and turning "the long run" into instinct; its weaknesses are severity and inhuman standards for itself, demanding that even rest prove its eligibility. It is the late bloomer of the twelve — and sometimes simply late.
