Tiger–Dog Compatibility: Harmony Membership and Wood Controlling Earth
Tiger–Dog carries two apparently opposing facts: shared Three Harmony (三合) Fire-group membership and Tiger's Wood controlling Dog's Earth. They describe separate fields. One checks named members; the other compares primary elements. This page counts both, producing 83 overall, 84 for love, 86 for friendship, and 88 for work.

Write out the complete Fire-group membership
Tiger–Horse–Dog is the full Three Harmony (三合) Fire-group list. This pair supplies Tiger and Dog, with Horse absent from the input. The page's group label means two members of one group, which meets its scoring condition. All three being present and any further transformation are separate assessments. A Fire group does not require every member's primary element to be Fire.
Why harmony and control remain visible together
Tiger's primary element is Wood and Dog's is Earth, giving Wood controlling Earth. The calculation does not replace those fields with the group's element. Conversely, element control does not remove either branch from the named group. Keeping both levels visible explains this pair more precisely than allowing one label to erase the other.
The 83 already includes the control deduction
The calculation is 70 plus 18 for shared Three Harmony (三合) membership, minus five for primary-element control. The primary relationship then adds one for love, three for friendship, and five for work. Tiger–Horse belongs to the same group but has Wood producing Fire, so its element adjustment differs. These differences follow fixed weights rather than statistics ranking actual partners.
Moving from two Year Branches to a complete comparison
If Horse is later introduced, its owner, pillar position, or annual time scope needs to be identified. New evidence can support a fuller analysis; it does not mean the original two-sign input already contained three members. The score displays a traditional classification, without measuring marriage success, trust, or ability to cooperate.
