1.The branch relationship
There is no special branch relationship (trine, harmony or clash) between the Tiger and the Rooster. In the five elements, though, the Rooster (Metal) restrains the Tiger (Wood), 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 Rooster is Metal. Seen from the Tiger: they restrain you (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 Rooster: Faithful, you expect sincerity in return. You never stop improving yourself, and you are a partner people are 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 Rooster: Administration, accounting, design, beauty, food and running a shop, where precision and taste count. Divide the work by strengths and you make a strong team.
6.By age difference
The Tiger and the Rooster are 5, 7, 17, 19, 29 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 Rooster leading and setting the direction for the Tiger. A Rooster parent or boss is dependable, but too much interference makes the Tiger 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 Rooster: your standards are high and you can fuss over details. 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 Rooster's eye for detail and beauty help you both.
9.Tips for getting along
- Your elements (Wood and Metal) are in a controlling relationship. Bringing in Water, the element that mediates between them (its color is black or navy), smooths things over; this is called tsūkan, “bridging”.
