Secret friends: a pair that completes each other
The Tiger and the Pig are one of the «six harmonies» (Liu He), the secret-friend pairs of Chinese astrology. They are not alike; rather, each fills in what the other leaves open. From the outside they may look like an unexpected match, but between them runs a quiet trust and natural support. It is a bond in which each stands behind the other in hard times and both grow together.
See your differences as richness, not competition; make room for each other's strengths.
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.

- Good-natured
- Hardworking
- Tolerant
- Naive

It is compatible with the Rabbit, Goat and Tiger and may experience tension with the Snake and Monkey.
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.
