Relationship Compatibility of the Tiger Chinese Zodiac Sign

TIGER + RAT: 65%

The Rat loves the family and can be very considerate when shown appreciation. The Tiger is sentimental while self-indulgent; they are bossy and have a quick temper.

Superficially, this couple is very similar as they are both friendly, active and are interested in a variety of things. The achievement-oriented Rat seeks fortune and power, and the Tiger loves prestige. However, as they get to know each other better, the homely Rat might not find Tiger’s unpredictable manner pleasant, while the generous Tiger might complain that the Rat is miserable.

However, both have a very positive outlook in life and will either work towards sorting out their differences or ending the relationship. It is not an easy journey though, so both should think twice before jumping into a relationship.

TIGER + OX: 33%

For the Tiger, a Rabbit partner could help build confidence and resoluteness, but the Tiger may not be too keen on learning it.  This relationship revolves around many disadvantages, particularly in the quarrels and tensions that stem from the Tiger’s tendency to dominate over the Rabbit.  Despite these differences, the pair somehow manage to weld them together and make them better people.
