By the tables, the Tiger and the Rooster have friction marks and no combination. That reads as a pair that rubs, not one that can’t work: the friction is usually about habits and timing.

Wonjin (怨嗔)Friction
In Korean saju, 寅 and 酉 are also an old-grudge pair: a mild, on-and-off irritation where small things sting. Korean compatibility readings check it often; it is one mark among many.
Elements: Wood and Metal
Metal controls Wood in the controlling cycle. The Rooster side tends to set the frame and the Tiger side tends to feel it. Read gently it is structure, read harshly it is pressure. Agreeing who decides what usually helps.
寅 is Yang and 酉 is Yin: one of each.

A zodiac sign is one character out of eight in a saju chart. For two people, the birth-day pairs, the balance of elements and timing usually say more than the signs do. Treat this page as a tendency, for fun and self-reflection, not a verdict on anyone.
