Rat

Will not blend together well. She appraises him critically and finds him wanting. She means well and feels obligated to call his attentions to all his shortcomings. He finds her eccentric and overly analytical ways very annoying. He cannot avoid resenting this and feeling hurt. He wants a doting wife, not a psychiatrist. She is surprised he is resentful and labels him ungrateful.

Both are hardworking and industrious. He values self-respect and devotion to duty and his competent and conscientious Rooster wife will certainly win his admiration. They both love analysing and organizing, and neither is too easily hurt or sensitive about criticism. They can be objective and methodical in managing the office as well as the household. Both love simple pleasures and intelletual pursuits and will excel in specialized fields. She doesn't mind his exacting nature as she is very attentive to details; he on the other hand will take her criticism constructively and not feel reproached. A happy and contented pair.

Tiger

She is too smart, well informed and critical to put up with the dynamic but over-reacting Tiger man. He is upset by her nagging and fault finding ways and her love for detail. He is openhanded, generous and outspoken while she is efficient, thrifty and methodical. He is idealistic where she is a keen intellectual. One is unconventional and ruled by his heart, the other is eccentric but ruled by head. Both are very engrossed in themselves and will be unhappy and irritated by the other.

Rabbit/Cat

He would like to be catered to and served rather than serve. She is too straightforward, meticulous and efficient to put up with his whimsical requests. Both are knowledgeable but eccentric. He broods in dark silence while she will make up a long list of his faults and publish it. They could make life very uncomfortable for each other.

Could achieve a lot of togetherness but will have to smooth out some rough edges first. Her discriminating and at times callous remarks could often deflate his super ego. He is dynamic and full of energy while she is efficient, economical and critical. Both will be happier if they agree on what areas each should control. Mentally they are on equal intellectual levels but they should not try to overpower each other with their accomplishments.

These are two brainy, calculating and very performance-oriented signs who will prefer power and money in the bank to holding hands romantically in rags and poverty. She is the efficient and perfect housekeeper. He is the brains behind each financial deal. They will share the same dreams for prestige and material security. The Snake is philosophical enough to put up with the Rooster's rambling and eccentric ways. In the end, he will still rely on his inate wisdom to make the decision. On the other hand, she is happy that he understands her and allows her to let off steam and run his life to a certain extent. In this combination each will be able to expend energy productively; they will have a strong spiritual and mental affinity to each other.

Incongruous but sometimes workable arrangement. He is witty and skillful while she may be frank, knowledgeable and zealous. He could start something magnificent and then dash off when he gets bored. The efficient Rooster will complain and no doubt criticize his lack of dedication, but she will sort out the details and finish the job. He is too high-spirited and detached to be really annoyed by her outspoken and faultfinding ways. He may not even stay around long enough for her to finish the lecture. He is the colorful and vigorous performer and she is the most capable of administrators. Neither is too sensitive to be greatly disturbed by the faults of the other if they find the union productive enough.

He is kind hearted and considerate enough to make a sincere effort at anything. She loves to investigate, analyse and administer other people's lives. He is pessimistic and subjective; she is optimistic and objective. Her energetic and dauntless attitude could scare the sensitive and unobstrusive Sheep. He finds her too meticulous, argumentative and sharp for his taste. She, on the other hand, will say it is difficult to deal with one as sentimental and self-indulgent as he. They have vast dissimilarities in their basic outlooks, which may prevent them from enduring each other's peculiarities easily.

Both are ambitious and crave acclaim and recognition. These two materialistic and similarly powerful personalities may clash more often than they cooperate if they insist on maintaining their affectations. The Monkey man likes to get things done with a minimum of fuss and supervision. He prides himself on his ingenuity and innate capabilities. The Rooster girl is efficient and fastidious. She's prone to looking over his shoulder and picking up on his imperfections. They try each other's patience and endurance. He cannot stand her questioning and love for argument. She finds him too sure of himself and conceited to pay her much mind, let alone heed the advice she readily dishes out. Both are going to find the ride pretty rough unless they are willing to admit to some of their inherent shortcomings and meet the other halfway.

Both are virtuous personalities but this match could provide an unhealthy "holier than thou" attitude between these two contenders. They are both peevish and often obsessed with their own views and will not pay much heed to the opinions of the other. However, these two are also duty-oriented and have conscientious and responsible natures. Who knows, they may be able to relinquish some of their demanding ways to achieve common goals. Then again, both are argumentative and opinionated, and there may be endless discussions before they sign the Peace Treaty or agree to call a truce.

A cool to moderate coexistence is in store for this couple. Both are discriminating and forthright souls who may be easily displeased with each other's faults. Normally, they may strive harder to be more agreeable, but this match could bring out their most offensive traits, making them willful and uncompromising. Both are too quick to retaliate when challenged and can be fierce fighters. The Dog is nice and easygoing only as long as you keep out of his hair. The Rooster is virtuous and equally sincere in her efforts, but she has much too rigid an outlook to suit the Dog. She will make him feel like she is out to reform him and he will never stand for that.

Could turn out to be a feasible match if both parties make the proper concessions. There will be areas of disagreement, but both have the capacity to work out differences if they admire each other enough. The Boar may be too passionate and warm for the analytical and mentally inclined Rooster, while she is too argumentative and knowledgeable to follow or love him blindly. However, on the positive side, neither is too thin-skinned and criticism will slide off their backs like water. He is honest and accomodating and has a true need for her diligent and critical mind, and while she is capable and self-confident, she will have every need for the diplomacy and reliability of the affable Boar.
