Tiger–Rabbit Compatibility: Shared Wood, Two Different Groupings
Tiger and Rabbit are neighbors in the twelve Earthly Branches (地支), and both have Wood as their primary element. Two similar names often appear in explanations: the Tiger–Rabbit–Dragon Seasonal Assembly (三会) of Wood and Three Harmony (三合). They describe different groupings. The first gathers three neighboring branches by season and direction; the second specifies a different set of members. Tiger and Rabbit are two members of the spring assembly, but not of one harmony group. This page scores them 72 using its existing relationship table and primary elements; seasonal assemblies are outside that calculation.

Read Tiger, Rabbit, and Dragon in their spring sequence
The traditional Seasonal Assembly (三会) groups Tiger, Rabbit, and Dragon with spring and the east, calling this the Wood group. That is a seasonal arrangement within the branch system. It does not say that a Tiger-year person was born in spring, or turn their Year Branch into a Month Branch. A Tiger-year birth can have a different branch for its month.
Tiger–Rabbit supplies only two of those members. Dragon cannot be added to the input by implication, so the complete three-member assembly has not been established. Even when all three appear in an actual chart, their positions and the chart's broader conditions remain a separate question. A two-sign comparison has not settled that reading.
The harmony table sends Tiger and Rabbit to different groups
In Three Harmony (三合), Tiger joins Horse and Dog in the Fire group; Rabbit joins Pig and Goat in the Wood group. These groups follow a different arrangement from seasonal assemblies. A branch can therefore have different memberships on the two maps. Tiger's spring Wood association does not contradict its membership of the Fire harmony group.
The common error is to shorten 'Tiger and Rabbit share a spring grouping' to 'Tiger and Rabbit form Three Harmony (三合).' That drops the category distinction. Nor can Tiger substitute for Pig or Goat in Rabbit's Wood group simply because its own primary element is Wood.
What Yang and Yin distinguish within shared Wood
Tiger is a Yang branch and Rabbit a Yin branch, while both primary elements are Wood. This distinguishes polarity within an element; it is not a pair of personality tests. The familiar story of a dominant Tiger and a compliant Rabbit does not follow from those two labels. A Yin branch does not give someone a duty to yield.
Shared Wood also does not establish two Wood Day Masters. This page uses Year Branch elements; the Day Master comes from the Day Stem. Inferring Companion (比肩) or Rob Wealth (劫财) by treating those Year Branch elements as Day Masters skips the required stem information and changes the scope of the evidence.
Read 72 as the result of this particular table
No Six Harmony (六合), Three Harmony (三合), Six Clash (六冲), Punishment (相刑), or Six Harm (六害) relationship is recorded between Tiger and Rabbit in this table. The relationship adjustment is zero; shared Wood adds two to the base 70. Love, friendship, and work have no further offset, so each is 72. Seasonal Assembly (三会) is not included, and the number does not measure its effects.
None of the inputs describes shared living arrangements, trust, or how the two people handle disagreement. The score is neither a marriage threshold nor a scientifically validated success rate. The useful knowledge in Tiger–Rabbit is the polarity difference within Wood and the intersecting memberships of two grouping systems—details a single number cannot replace.

Frequently asked questions
Are Tiger and Rabbit a Six Harmony pair?
No. Tiger's Six Harmony (六合) partner is Pig, and Rabbit's is Dog. Being neighbors in the branch sequence does not establish that relationship.
Would adding a Dragon-year person guarantee a harmonious group?
It supplies the three names, but three people's Year Branches are not the complete structure of one chart. Seasonal Assembly (三会) classification also does not guarantee a group's social outcome.
Why is there no same-sign bonus for shared Wood?
This page uses Same-sign Affinity (比和) for an identical sign, such as Tiger–Tiger. Tiger and Rabbit are distinct signs, receiving only the two-point element adjustment.
Does Rat–Rabbit Punishment apply to Tiger–Rabbit?
No Rat is present in this pair, so that Punishment (相刑) cannot be assigned to it. If Rat appears in another chart or a year being discussed, its source and time scope must remain explicit.
