Tiger and Rabbit compatibility

The Tiger (寅, yang wood) and the Rabbit (卯, yin wood) in the Chinese zodiac: how the classical tables pair them, and why.

· Neutral

The tables

Why the pair is rated this way

The Tiger and the Rabbit are neighbors on the circle of twelve. They are not a harmony, a trine, a clash or a harm pair, so the classical tables call the pair neutral: nothing special pulls them together or apart.

Both are wood signs, the Tiger yang and the Rabbit yin, so in five-element terms they speak the same language.

The Tiger rules the spring month that starts around Feb 4 and the hours from 3 am to 5 am; the Rabbit rules the spring month that starts around Mar 6 and the hours from 5 am to 7 am.

For comparison, the Tiger's harmony partner is the Pig and its trine partners are the Horse and the Dog; the Rabbit's harmony partner is the Dog and its trine partners are the Pig and the Goat.

Reading

In love, friendship and work

Traditionally the Tiger is brave, competitive and warm-hearted, and the Rabbit is gentle, tactful and elegant. The Tiger tends to bring courage and look for respect; the Rabbit tends to bring kindness and calm and look for a peaceful home.

In love, the zodiac neither helps nor blocks this pair, so the rest of each chart, and the two people, decide how it goes.

As friends or co-workers they tend to move at the same pace and understand each other quickly.

Your pair

Check two birth years

A zodiac year starts in late January or February, not on January 1: Chinese New Year calendars switch at Lunar New Year, and saju switches at Lichun, around February 4. If you were born in January or early February, you may belong to the year before.

Beyond the birth year

On Bias Match the animal that counts most is not the birth year but the day branch, the animal in each person's day pillar. If two people's day branches are Tiger (寅) and Rabbit (卯), the compatibility calculator scores that check as zero, neither plus nor minus, next to five other checks.

The text is fixed sentence templates filled in with the classical relation tables built into the Bias Match engine; no AI model generates or rewrites it. For entertainment only: the zodiac describes old patterns, not what will happen between two people.
