Tiger Compatibility

Every Tiger pairing, rated by the traditional Chinese chart.

The Tiger (brave, confident, competitive) is placed in an affinity triangle with the Horse and the Dog — signs four years apart in the cycle that tend to share values and pace. Its single strongest bond in the chart is the secret-friend pairing with the Pig. Tigers are natural leaders who take charge in a crisis and defend the people they care about. They are generous and rarely hold a grudge.

Best matches: Pig, then Horse and Dog. Hardest match: the Monkey, exactly six years apart — the traditional "clash" pairing, where attraction and friction often come together. There is also a milder "harm" tension with the Snake. Every other sign is a neutral match: workable, but built on effort rather than the calendar.

Remember these ratings describe broad tendencies, not verdicts. Plenty of "clash" couples build long, happy relationships once they agree on how decisions get made. Use the table below as a starting point for a conversation about pace and temperament, and open any pairing for the full write-up.
