Chinese Zodiac Compatibility - Tiger
For a person who is born in the year of the tiger, living with a person born in the year of the pig is a happy choice because those born in the year of the pig are honest, gentle and can help the tiger with his shortcoming of acting rashly. Such persons also bring the tiger a sense of security. People born in the year of the tiger can furthermore get along well with those practical people born in the year of the dog. Those born in the year of the dog are loyal, and they can tie down people born in the year of the tiger and make them rational. People born in the year of the horse have a practical approach and are attractive. They are good friends of those born in the year of the tiger. Both of them are warm and active. Those born in the year of the horse are sensitive, while those born in the year of the tiger are willful. Usually the horse can foresee danger much sooner than those born in the year of the tiger so they can benefit from their sensitive feelings and alert response. People born in the year of the tiger find it easy to get along with the people born in the year of the mouse, sheep, rooster or others born in the year of the tiger. But they will have conflicts with people born in the year of the ox. They should never challenge the authority of a person born in the year of the ox. These people are serious, never compromise and won't tolerate the tiger's wild actions in defiance of the law. This may doom the tiger should there be a conflict between them. It is also unwise for a person born in the year of the tiger to marry someone born in the year of the snake because their only common ground will be their suspicious frames of mind. People born in the year of the snake are gentle, calm and timid, while people born in the year of the tiger are insufferably arrogant. It will be most difficult for them to reach any tacit understanding. One last warning: people born in the year of the monkey are elusive opponents to them.
