1.The branch relationship
There is no special branch relationship between the Rat and the Tiger. You rarely pull hard toward or away from each other, so you can relax and be yourselves: a calm relationship.
2.The element relationship
The Rat is Water and the Tiger is Wood. Seen from the Rat: you nourish them (generating cycle).
3.Love and marriage
Love grows slowly as you get closer. A shared hobby or goal brings you much closer together.
4.How you each love
The Rat: Attentive and thoughtful, you remember what your partner likes. Home matters to you, and you build steady, secure relationships. The Tiger: Passionate and direct, you make the first move. You look for a partner you can respect. You can build trust calmly over time.
5.Work and friendship
You respect each other's territory. Careful reporting, updating and consulting builds trust.
Working together
The Rat: You shine where quick judgment and good information pay off: finance, trading, IT, research and media. The Tiger: Entrepreneurship, sport, sales, journalism and adventurous projects that need nerve and drive. Divide the work by strengths and you make a strong team.
6.By age difference
The Rat and the Tiger are 2, 10, 14, 22, 26 years apart (people in the same school year can still have different animals if one was born early in the year). The branch relationship stays the same whatever the age gap.
7.As parent and child, or boss and colleague
In terms of the elements, this pair tends toward the Rat nurturing and supporting the Tiger. A Rat parent brings out a Tiger child's talents, and at work a Rat boss who promotes a Tiger colleague works well.
8.When arguments start
The Rat: small details can worry you more than they should, and when profit comes first you may come across as a little cool. The Tiger: you can be short-tempered and pushy when things don't go your way. These sides tend to come out when you are tired and stretched. If you start arguing, don't rush to a conclusion; sleep on it and talk again. When you face each other calmly, the Rat's sociability and charm and the Tiger's sense of justice help you both.
9.Tips for getting along
- Your elements (Water and Wood) are in a generating relationship, so simply being yourselves is the best luck charm.
