The verdict

Watch them when something goes wrong. The Tiger moves first and asks afterwards; the Rooster stops, establishes what actually happened and only then acts, and in the hour between, each privately concludes that the other is the problem. The chart issues no ruling: You runs with Ox and Snake and pairs with Dragon, Yin appears on none of those lists, and there is no clash or harm to fall back on either. Whether this becomes a good division of labour or a running quarrel about competence usually turns on whether each of them counts the other's kind of work as work at all.

What works between Tiger and Rooster

  • Tiger leaves whole territories uninspected, and those are precisely the territories a Rooster enjoys
  • When analysis has curdled into delay, Tiger nerve is what gets the thing moving again
  • Tiger's reputation opens the door and Rooster's preparation means you are ready when one opens

Where Tiger and Rooster strain

  • Tiger takes command by instinct, so being fact-checked mid-charge reads as a challenge to who leads
  • The Tiger calls the careful work fussing, and a Rooster does not forget being called fussy
  • Rooster's tie to Snake keeps drawing Tiger near a sign it stands in punishment with, at quiet cost

The one thing Tiger and Rooster must get right

Once, in plain terms, each of you should say what the other actually contributed to the last thing that went right. The difficulty in this pairing is not method but unacknowledged labour, and it only responds to being named.
