A trine: two souls who speak the same language
The Tiger and the Dog belong to the same group of three (San He) in Chinese astrology. Animals in this group see the world from a similar place: their values, goals and pace of life are close. Together they rarely need long explanations; when one starts an idea, the other naturally completes it. The great strength of this pairing is the ability to unite around a shared purpose.
Don't let the ease of it turn into complacency; keep surprising each other and setting new goals 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 Dog in love
- Loyal
- Honest
- Fair
- Protective
- Responsible
- Anxious
In love the Dog is loyal, honest and protective; in close relationships, trust is everything to it. It keeps its word and makes sacrifices for its partner. Its anxious nature can lead it to dwell on negative scenarios; open communication and reassuring behavior put the relationship at ease. It is compatible with the Tiger, Horse and Rabbit and may clash with the Dragon and Rooster.
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.
