What a sweet soul. Earth Tigers are the Tigers who sit in the sun, chill out, do "lunch" then chill out again. 

The Earth element tempers things quite considerably. 

They’re a little quirky in a way because although they graft hard, they’d also happily do nothing. 

It's just the way of the Earth Tiger - they work and then they just lie in the sun. They're about as uncomplicated as they come. 

The Earth Tiger does have a silent drive and are nearly always in complete control of their lives. 

Gloriously straightforward and sweet-natured.

Some notable Earth Tigers are Shawn Mendes and Jaden Smith.
