Chinese Zodiac Compatibility
Tiger and Tiger

Compatibility overview

Like herding Tigers! A match between two natives of this regal sign is likely to be every bit as highly-charged as it sounds. While the overall atmosphere is potentially very positive, with an abundance of like-mindedness and mutual respect, these two will need lots of independent space to accommodate each other successfully.

Just as with shared elements in the Western zodiac, own-sign matches in Chinese astrology necessarily involve two signs in the same Trine Family. When the Tiger—who belongs in the same family as the Dog and Horse—encounters another Tiger, the underlying energy is thus deeply compatible.

Two Tiger natives share qualities that are essential to their being, such as powerful self-belief, commitment to noble and righteous causes, and a determination to succeed without ethical compromise. Early conversations are likely to prove especially inspiring. These two may, literally and figuratively, fall over themselves in their enthusiasm to share and develop their opinions. Sexual experiences are typically full of fireworks, but any interaction is likely to have a similar brand of high intensity, heated agreement.

It must be said that all this energy—even if, for the most part, apparently positive—can prove somewhat exhausting. Other compatible signs can provide the Tiger with steadying, calming influences. A pair of Tigers, however, are more apt to keep riling each other up past the point where their frenetic activity and enthusiasm is good for them. Blow-ups and confrontations of one kind or another would not be a surprise. Arguments may prove especially deflating, if both Tigers are equally convinced they have arrived at the most honourable course of action, yet there is no prospect of them seeing eye to eye.

Happily, the nature of the Tiger is such that they can be relied on to right themselves quickly. The answer for successful Tiger/Tiger relationships is thus often to carve out a good measure of independent time and space. Left for long enough to their own devices, these two will quickly remember how rousing and pleasurable it is to spend time with each other.

Even if longer term happiness is arrived at through somewhat greater distance, the relationship in whatever form is capable of providing inspiration and fulfilment long into the future.

Ed Harris and Amy Madigan (click for attribution/s)

Amy Madigan (9/11/1950, Virgo Tiger), Ed Harris (11/28/1950, Sagittarius Tiger) : The two actors have been married since 1983 and have one child. Harris described in 1985: "The acting thing is so intimate and personal that if we’re not working together, it’s real hard to share what we’re doing. I mean we both know what we’re doing, but you can’t really talk about your day very well. When you’re working together, though, there’s so much that is shared, so much unspoken thought and emotion that goes into the work, that it really draws you closer."

Hugh Hefner (4/9/1926, Aries Tiger), Kimberley Conrad (8/6/1962, Leo Tiger) : The magazine publisher and actress/model were married from 1989-2010 and had two children together. According to reports, the two separated in 1998, but Conrad and the children continued for many years to live in the house next door to Hefner, until a dispute over alimony payments.

John Coltrane and Miles Davis (click for attribution/s)

John Coltrane (9/23/1926, Libra Tiger), Miles Davis (5/26/1926, Gemini Tiger) : The two jazz legends shared one of the most iconic collaborations in history during the late 1950s, including Davis' masterpieces Milestones (1958) and Kind of Blue (1959). It was a complex relationship, with Davis once striking Coltrane for slovenliness caused by drug use. But their mutual respect and influence have been widely acknowledged. Davis once described: "We used to talk a lot about music at rehearsals and on the way to gigs I'd say, 'Trane, here are some chords but don’t play them like they are all the time, you know? Start in the middle sometimes and don’t forget you can play them up in thirds. So that means you got 18, 19 different things to play in two bars.' He would sit there, eyes wide open, soaking up everything."

Tom Cruise (7/3/1962, Cancer Tiger), Penélope Cruz (4/28/1974, Taurus Tiger) : The two actors were romantically involved between around 2001 to 2004. Speaking about the relationship in 2006, Cruz said about Cruise: "Tom is a very good man, and I am close to his whole family, his children. I love his children, and his mum, and all of his family, and he's a great man. The people who have been good to me, they are untouchable, I am very loyal to the people who have meant something to me and have been good to me, very, very loyal."

Anthony Keidis and Flea (click for attribution/s)

Anthony Kiedis (11/1/1962, Scorpio Tiger), Flea (10/16/1962, Libra Tiger) : The two musicians and founding members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers have known each other since they were teenagers. Flea described in 2019: "I met him when I was 15 and we both started 10th grade at Fairfax High School and we were almost immediately in love and at war and it's stayed that way ever since. I found someone who I could communicate with in a profound way that I hadn't before and here we are 40 something years later..."
