In chinese culture the tiger has the element of earth. It is mostly based on the chinese art of Kung-Fu, where the earth element adds to the tiger form to staying low to the ground, always in a low stance.

I'm confused, 2 of these zodiacs have the year I was born. It's the 1998 one for the Ox and the Tiger, they both have a 1998. Whcih one would I be then?

That would depend on when your birthday is and where it falls.

The chinese new year falls on lunar cycles rather than the regular new year itself hence the specific dates.

To answer your question though-

You are an Ox IF your birthday falls between- Feb 7th 1997 to Jan 27, 1998.

If your birthday falls between Jan 28th 1998 to February 5th 1999, then you are a Tiger~ :)

Oh, then I would be the Ox if my birthday falls on Dec. 4 1998?

No you would be a Tiger. If you were born Dec. 4th 1997 then you would be an Ox.
