缘分How the Tiger and the Dragon get along

The Tiger and the Dragon have no special traditional bond: no trine, harmony, clash, harm or punishment between them. That makes this a neutral match where personality and the element relationship (Wood and Earth) decide how it goes.

The Tiger brings courage and big energy and needs freedom and respect. The Dragon brings vision and charisma and needs admiration and a partner with their own ambitions.

五行Element match

The Tiger carries Wood, which controls the Dragon's Earth. The Tiger can end up leading or dominating; the pair works best when the Tiger uses that strength to protect rather than to push.

爱情Love and marriage

In love it is an open book: much depends on effort and on the two full birth charts. Tigers love passionately and openly. They want a partner who respects their independence and matches their energy, and they are fiercely loyal once committed. Dragons love grandly and want a partner to share an ambitious life with. They need admiration and honesty in equal measure, and they are protective and generous once committed.

事业Friendship and work

At work they can be a practical team if they respect each other's methods. Tigers thrive in leadership, entrepreneurship, the military and emergency services, sports, activism and any role that needs courage and initiative. Dragons gravitate to leadership, entrepreneurship, law, politics, entertainment and any field where vision and presence matter.
