A neutral pair: a bond shaped by effort
Chinese astrology sees no special harmony or conflict between the Tiger and the Dragon. That means the direction of the relationship depends largely on the effort and communication of the two people. Shared interests and mutual respect strengthen this bond; coming to it without preconceptions is the key to this match.
Find a shared goal or hobby; neutral ground takes on colour through what you build together.
The Tiger in love
- Brave
- Charismatic
- Competitive
- Independent
- Generous
- Restless
In love the Tiger is passionate, generous and drawn to adventure. It brings vitality to a relationship and excites its partner; when it feels bored or restricted, though, it can become distant. It looks for someone who respects its independence and matches its energy. Compatibility with the Horse, Dog and Pig is strong; with the Monkey there may be rivalry and tension.
The Dragon in love
- Charismatic
- Ambitious
- Energetic
- Generous
- Proud
- Impatient
In love the Dragon is generous, passionate and protective, bringing great energy and showy enthusiasm to a relationship. It expects admiration and loyalty from its partner and finds it hard to take criticism. While it is warm with everyone around it, setting its ego aside in a close relationship can be difficult. It is highly compatible with the Rat, Monkey and Rooster and may experience a clash of values with the Dog.
Compatibility here is based on the animals of the two birth years. A full reading also looks at the elements and the month, day and hour pillars, so treat it as a starting point.
