缘分How the Tiger and the Horse get along

The Tiger and the Horse belong to the same trine, the four-year-apart family of the Fire element. Trine signs are passionate, independent and loyal; they stand up for each other and for what is right. They understand each other's goals without long explanations, which is why tradition counts trine partners among each sign's best matches.

The Tiger brings courage and big energy and needs freedom and respect. The Horse brings energy and enthusiasm and needs freedom and variety.

五行Element match

The Tiger carries Wood and the Horse carries Fire. Wood feeds Fire in the generating cycle, so the Tiger tends to be the supporter and giver, and the Horse the one who flourishes with that support.

爱情Love and marriage

In love they share values and direction, which gives the relationship a solid base. Tigers love passionately and openly. They want a partner who respects their independence and matches their energy, and they are fiercely loyal once committed. Horses fall in love fast and want romance with movement in it. They need a partner who shares adventures and gives them space, and they stay when they feel free rather than held.

事业Friendship and work

At work they pull in the same direction and motivate each other. Tigers thrive in leadership, entrepreneurship, the military and emergency services, sports, activism and any role that needs courage and initiative. Horses do well in travel, sales, journalism, sports, performance, public relations and any role with variety and contact with people.
