Tiger & Dog Compatibility
Overview
The Tiger-Dog match scores 60 out of 100, grade 'Fair'.
The signs meet as Controlling by element, and Three Harmony by branch - that is what produced this score.
The two temperaments
Tiger years move first where others hesitate. Dog years, once they decide you are theirs, hold that line to the end.
What the Tiger brings to a relationship: when direction blurs they cut through it, so the relationship never drifts in vagueness. What the Dog brings: when someone has to take your side, they take it plainly.

Five Elements Relationship
Tiger's (Wood) energy governs Dog's (Earth) energy — a controlling (相剋) relationship.
Tiger's take-charge attitude can feel like pressure to Dog, so it's especially important to ask for the other's opinion before deciding things.
Both signs are yang. Drive doubles, which is excellent for starting things together, but with no one inclined to step back, a collision gets loud. A little give on both sides helps.
Zodiac Branch Relationship
The two signs sit on the same Three Harmony axis. You are likely to have met inside the same circle, and you can talk on the same topics for hours. Relationships like this often begin as friendship and deepen from there.
What you are to each other
From the Tiger side, Dog reads as the Ten God 'Indirect Wealth'; from the Dog side, Tiger reads as 'Seven Killings'. You're each other's practical source of strength, a strength when it comes to setting and reaching goals together.
What passes between you
What the first wants is simple: not to have their judgment second-guessed; respect for the course they set. What the second wants: consistency - words and actions that do not diverge.
The friction, if it comes, starts here - when momentum leads, they push without seeing the other's pace. And on the other side: their guard takes long to lower, and once disappointed it is hard to restore.
Making this pairing last
The practical move is a trade: what the first needs (not to have their judgment second-guessed; respect for the course they set) is close to what the second is already good at giving, and the reverse holds too. Name that out loud once, and most of the friction above stops repeating.
