Raaaarrrrrrrrrr. No, that’s not the asound of a wild animal. It’s the sound of Biggest Loser trainer and life coach, Jillian Michaels. Yes, she has a larger-than-life persona on screen. But she’s also responsible for helping hundreds of people across the nation transform their lives through health and fitness. Turns out, TV’s toughest trainer is tough for a reason. She’s a Tiger.

Yep, JM was born on February 18th, 1975- the year of the Wood Tiger. So it makes sense that she seems pretty dominant, powerful, and – um – sometimes downright scary! As the Queen of the Jungle, she takes her mission in life seriously, and she doesn’t let anything stop her. (Makes sense, given the fact that she was bullied as a kid over her weight and then went on to be one of the most successful fitness gurus on the planet, right?!) Yeah, she’s definitely a Tiger. Loud, ferocious, but totally loyal and committed to her clients. 

Because she was born in a Wood year, Jillian’s tough Tiger exterior is softened by a good-natured flexibility and team-player approach. She’s a leader, yes, but she also knows how to get along with people, and she’s likable. Wood makes her a little more sensitive than say, a Metal Tiger. Which is probably a good thing since her job is to empower and support people. Go Jillian!
