Tifa Lockhartâs Birthday
Since Tifa week is coming up, and this is very very early, I wanted to share some interesting things about Tifaâs birthday. This is early partly because I do not know if I will have a lot of time to contribute to Tifa week like last year.Â
So Iâd like to share with everyone some facts (or âfactsâ depending on if you believe in the Zodiac) about Tifaâs birthday!
Tifa is seems to have an ongoing theme of Love, Beauty, Heaven, Goddesses, and anything else that seems to be divine.Â
Her name, Tifa, has two possibly etymologies.
The first being Tiffany, which means, Manifestation of God.
The second, is Tiferet, the sixth Sefira in the Tree of Life symbolizing love, beauty and self-sacrifice.
Tifa was born May 3rd, 1987.
Tifa is a Taurus, the sign of the bull.Â
Some of Taurusâ traits are being:
Persistent and determined
Placid and security loving
And Taurus characteristics are: solidity, practicality, extreme determination and strength of will - no one will ever drive them, but they will willingly and loyally follow a leader they trust.Â
They are stable, balanced, conservative good, law-abiding citizens and lovers of peace, possessing all the best qualities of the bourgeoisie. As they have a sense of material values and physical possessions, respect for property and a horror of falling into debt, they will do everything in their power to maintain the security of the status quo and be somewhat hostile to change.
Some Taurus Likes and Dislikes are as follows:
Synthetic or âman madeâ things
The animal associated with Taurus is the bull!
A deity in ancient Mesopotamian religion originating in Sumer, was named Gugalanna, better known as âThe Bull of Heaven.âÂ
Gugalanna translates into âThe Great Bull of HeavenâÂ
In Celtic symbolism the bull represented physical strength and power
The bull also represented fertility and the power to procreate to the Celts.
To the Greeks, the bull was an attribute of Zeus
In Hebrew, the symbol for the bull is an aleph symbol.
The aleph as a bull symbol will represent mans ability to work with Nature and her creatures to bring about abundance in the human tribes. Further, the aleph is symbolic of harmony and provision. (This is just one of many meanings to the aleph symbol.)
Taurusâ ruling planet is Venus.
The astronomical symbol for Venus is the same as that used in biology for the female sex.
The Venus symbol also represents femininity.
The planet Venus, is named after the Roman Goddess of Love and Beauty.
In Western alchemy the symbol stood for the metal copper.
Polished copper has been used for mirrors from antiquity, and the symbol for Venus has sometimes been understood to stand for the mirror of the goddess.
Venus is the only planet to be named after a female figure.
Tifa is frequently associated, by both fans and Square-Enix, with the starry night sky.Â
Venus has been made sacred to gods of many cultures, and has served as prime inspiration for writers and poets as âthe morning starâ and âthe evening starâ
Tifaâs birthstone is an Emerald.
Cleopatra draped herself in emeralds.(And was supposedly cursed by an emerald)
Emeralds are typical green in color, and according to a lithologist, symbolize:
It is a Seeker of Love and a Revealer of Truth, inspiring an ongoing search for meaning, justice, compassion and harmony.
The emerald is called the âStone of Successful LoveâÂ
The emerald is suppose to open and nurture the Heart Chakra.
The Emerald was dedicated to the Goddess Venus for itâs ability to insure security in love.
The emerald is a âstone of inspiration and infinite patienceâ
 balance between partners,Â
and is particularly known for providing domestic bliss, contentment and loyalty.
(Iâm a cloti shipper ;p)
Emerald is also a stone of great vision and intuition, associated with the eyes and sight, long believed to foretell future events and reveal oneâs truths. It is a stone of wisdom, enhancing memory and increasing mental clarity. It combines intelligence with discernment, and brings to the conscious mind what is unconsciously known. Emerald also increases focus and intent, activating psychic abilities and opening clairvoyance. Traditionally it was used as a protection against enchantment and spells. [Mella, 84-85][Melody, 257-258][Hall, 127][Kunz, 76-79]
Also, for any fellow Cloti shippers who want something to cute,
It encourages growth, reflection, peace and balance. It also represents healing and fertility.
The verdant tones reflected in the jewel are tempered by a cool blue which symbolizes a steadfast bond.
This, along with the gemâs rarity, makes the stone a unique alternative to a traditional diamond engagement ring.
When you give an emerald, you are showing a dash of humility. People who donât yet have everything figured out in life are considered âgreen,â or a bit naive.
This is actually a positive thing when you consider that a new life together as a couple is defined by many unforeseen obstacles that you must tackle together and learn from.
Emerald green also suggests the concept of eternity, as it is a color that constantly renews itself in nature through generations.
Another reason that the emerald has come to symbolize a more mature love can be traced to Hindu culture.
Emerald green is the color that is used to align the heart chakra, or energy point, allowing feelings of love to low freely from a personâs core.
Tifaâs birth flower is A lily, specifically, Lily of the Valley.
The Lily of the Valley has an alternate name âMaryâs Tearsâ as it is said Lily of the Valley sprung from where Maryâs tears hit the ground as Jesus was being crucified.Â
It is also known as âladder to heavenâÂ
Lily of the valley has the flower meaning of:
and is said to bring luck in love.Â
It also means âThe return to happinessâ and is often used as wedding decorations because of it.Â
According to Florals Dial, May 3rds flower is the âMay Roseâ meaning âVigorâÂ
Tifa was born in 1987, the year of the Rabbit!
The personality of those born in the year of the Rabbit:

They do not cope well when there is tension in the air or when they have to make a sudden decision. They will always try to plan everything that they do, if there is a busy week ahead at work they might make a list of jobs in order to get done etc.
Also when entering Tifaâs birthday into an engine that is suppose to show what your birthday says about you, here is what come up for Tifa.Â
You have an inherent potential to inspire and uplift humanity through creative self-expression which conveys humour and drama, thoughtfulness and vision, and compassion and understanding.Â
This potential could find an outlet in the education and direction of others in constructive avenues of creative expression, for example, in public speaking, art, drama, music, or design. There is a sensitivity within you to the needs of people, but to know when to help is important; otherwise, others could regard you as too inquisitive and interfering.
Your purpose is to shoulder responsibility for the welfare of others, to learn to understand the reasons for the destructive conditions facing humanity, to seek truth and a logical explanation of life, and to develop solutions based on an understanding of human mind. The sense of responsibility you feel can bring the tendency to be too serious at times, and to worry and fret. You should take the time to relax and to release concerns and obligations from your thinking. In order to maintain objectiveness and clarity of perspective, organizing and delegating work where possible would help you in the carrying out of your activities.
You must learn to control the depth of feeling within yourself and to channel your energy into constructive pursuits; otherwise, you could experience emotional situations and involvements. You should be on guard against developing a sense of self-importance, as this quality could limit your vision and your ideals of service.Â
As you develop your potential, the love and respect of others would build the support and foundation for your confidence and give you the initiative to be of service to humanity.
This is all I have for now, I hope you enjoyed reading!
