Personality
The Tiger (寅) represents courage and initiative: the energy that opens spring. It is intense, generous and protective, with a strong sense of justice. It needs freedom to feel in its element.
In love
It loves with passion and a protector’s instinct. It gets bored with monotony; it thrives with partners who share its energy and respect its independence.
At work
It excels in leadership, entrepreneurship, sports, performing arts, law or any role where it can take the initiative.
Compatibility
In Saju the earthly branches relate in three main ways. They are symbols for talking about affinities, not a guarantee about any relationship:
- Harmony (六合): 🐖 Pig. A pairing usually described as complementary and fluid.
- Triple harmony (三合): 🐎 Horse · 🐕 Dog. They share the same underlying “wind” and give each other momentum.
- Clash (沖): 🐒 Monkey. Opposite styles: attraction and friction; it calls for conscious communication.
