Tiger and Rooster Compatibility

♥♥♡♡♡Worth the effort

The brave, driven Tiger meets the precise, diligent Rooster.

The Tiger and the Rooster together

Where you shine

The Tiger starts a running club and the Rooster neatly tracks attendance and dues, so the group keeps going for years. Once drive and attention to detail split the roles, each comes to respect the other.

Where you bump heads

The Rooster's detailed reminders can feel like meddling to the Tiger, and the Tiger's loud tone can feel rude to the Rooster. Asking what the other meant before reacting to how it sounded keeps needless hurt from building up.

Your energies

The Rooster's Metal keeps the Tiger's Wood in check, so the Rooster tends to lead and the Tiger to adjust.

The Tiger is 寅 and the Rooster is 酉 among the 12 earthly branches. The Tiger and the Rooster are an uneasy pair (wonjin): each tends to misread the other.

In points, the Tiger and the Rooster start from 3 (uneasy pair −1.5) and end at 1.5, which is level 2 of 5.

Tiger and Rooster as friends, partners and coworkers

  • Friendship

    Small hurt feelings can pile up without a clear reason. Clear up misunderstandings right away and look past the tone to what was meant.

  • Love and marriage

    You are drawn together, yet your signals cross easily. Talking honestly before feelings build up protects the relationship.

  • Work and business

    Your timing can be slightly off. Share notes and schedules in writing, and misunderstandings drop sharply.
