1.The branch relationship
There is no special branch relationship (trine, harmony or clash) between the Tiger and the Dragon. In the five elements, though, the Tiger (Wood) restrains the Dragon (Earth), so different ways of thinking can collide. Respect each other's pace and the relationship settles.
2.The element relationship
The Tiger is Wood and the Dragon is Earth. Seen from the Tiger: you restrain them (controlling 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 Tiger: Passionate and direct, you make the first move. You look for a partner you can respect. The Dragon: You have high ideals and want a dramatic love story. You shine in a relationship with someone you can be proud of. 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 Tiger: Entrepreneurship, sport, sales, journalism and adventurous projects that need nerve and drive. The Dragon: Running a business, politics, the arts and production: anywhere you can paint a big vision and lead people. Divide the work by strengths and you make a strong team.
6.By age difference
The Tiger and the Dragon 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 Tiger leading and setting the direction for the Dragon. A Tiger parent or boss is dependable, but too much interference makes the Dragon feel cramped. Make a point of handing over responsibility.
8.When arguments start
The Tiger: you can be short-tempered and pushy when things don't go your way. The Dragon: you can become overconfident and stop listening to others, and your mood can change quickly. 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 Tiger's sense of justice and the Dragon's drive toward their ideals help you both.
9.Tips for getting along
- Your elements (Wood and Earth) are in a controlling relationship. Bringing in Fire, the element that mediates between them (its color is red), smooths things over; this is called tsūkan, “bridging”.
