Tiger and Horse
An excellent match ★★★★★
虎Tiger
The Tiger and the Horse belong to the same trine (三合), one of the four triangles of signs that the tradition says share a temperament. This is the strongest match the zodiac offers: two people who want the same things from a day and forgive each other the same faults.
The Tiger: Bold, warm and unafraid of risk. The Tiger is the king of the mountain in Chinese lore, a guardian figure painted on doors and sewn onto children's shoes to keep harm away.
The Horse: Energetic, independent and straightforward. The Horse loves open space and company in equal measure, and is happiest in motion.

Tiger and Horse in love, friendship and work
In love
Love comes easily: the two read each other without explanation and rarely tire of each other's company. The tradition pairs trine signs first when it matches couples.
As friends
As friends they are the pair who plan the trip and both turn up. They fall into the same rhythm and take the same side in a room.
At work
At work they pull the same way; the risk is that no one in the room disagrees. A trine pair does best with a third voice at the table.
Other matches
For the Tiger

For the Horse
Best: Tiger and Dog (trine), Goat (secret friend). All twelve.
