I'm an Earth-sheep Pisces (1979), he is a Fire-Tiger/Capricorn (1986). I haven't heard fantastic things about sheep/tiger relationships but many of our other signs are compatible (me - venus in Cap, Cancer rising, Taurus moon, Pisces in mars, : him - venus in Scorpio, Aries rising, Virgo moon, Pisces in mars). It's very slow going as we're just starting out and he's being Capricorn-cautious (and I'm being patient as he's worth having), but it really interests me how all the long-term relationships I've ever seen of others have had compatible Chinese signs and ours are only so-so.

What is anyone's experience with the combination of the ram/sheep and a tiger?
