Snake & Tiger Compatibility

Challenging match

In the traditional Chinese zodiac, Snake and Tiger are a 'harm' pairing — small misunderstandings tend to accumulate unless both sides talk things through early.

The Snake is wise, private, elegant, determined. Snakes are deep thinkers who plan quietly and rarely waste a move. They are perceptive about people and financially shrewd. The Tiger is brave, confident, competitive, warm-hearted. Tigers are natural leaders who take charge in a crisis and defend the people they care about. They are generous and rarely hold a grudge.

Where they can rub each other the wrong way: They can be secretive, suspicious, and slow to trust. Snakes may hold others to a standard they never explain out loud. Meanwhile, they can be impulsive, short-tempered, and impatient with slow decisions. Tigers dislike taking orders and may rush in without a plan.

Making Snake & Tiger work

A "harm" pairing: the danger is a slow build-up of small, unspoken irritations. Clear the air early and often and this becomes an ordinary, workable match.
