Tiger & Dragon Compatibility

Moderate match

In the traditional Chinese zodiac, Tiger and Dragon are no special bond or conflict in the traditional chart — the relationship is built on effort, not the calendar.

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. The Dragon is ambitious, energetic, charismatic, idealistic. Dragons think big, inspire others, and carry natural authority. They are confident, lucky in opportunity, and unafraid of a hard goal.

Where they can rub each other the wrong way: They can be impulsive, short-tempered, and impatient with slow decisions. Tigers dislike taking orders and may rush in without a plan. Meanwhile, they can be arrogant, impatient with ordinary tasks, and dismissive of advice. A bruised ego is hard for a Dragon to hide.

Making Tiger & Dragon work

Neither the calendar's gift nor its curse. This pairing works in direct proportion to the effort both people put in — communication does all the heavy lifting.
