These two partners will work most constructively together. She is a happy and competent homemaker, while he is the great strategist that she will be immensely proud of. The Rat could get the enchanting Monkey to settle down nicely and he will adore her industry and parsimony. They will be constantly discovering desirable qualities in each other, and their marriage will be rewarding, fulfilling and financially auspicious.

Both are too egotistical and forceful to coexist happily. He is an extrovert, a natural showman. She is an introvert and reticent. No doubt both parties have excellent positive sides but they may not have a chance to display them. He has an inate superiority complex and considers her dull and unimaginative. She may be blunt and proud and will not mince words when it comes to pointing out his flaws. They will both have to exercise great control over their basic urges to achieve any kind of support.

Not a very harmonious combination and these two may not find much happiness in their union. Both are allergic to restraints of any kind and will not like playing second fiddle to anyone. They are both apt to think only in terms of "I" and are goaded by strong ambition and self-esteem. The Tiger can be arrogant when not given her way and the Monkey is naturally cunning and suave in his undertakings. They could regard each other with doubts and secret reservations. One has to be more masterful in order to control the other. So there may always be a struggle as to who can do better.

He is a positive and innovative thinker and a captivating performer. She is very personable and well-mannered, although somewhat superficial. Both can be diplomatic and inscrutable about obtaining their objectives. The Monkey needs a lot of attention and compliments to keep him charming and companionable. The Rabbit/Cat is drawn toward quiet surroundings rather than active pursuits. He delights in controversy; she abhors dissent. They have totally different approaches toward life. In the end, both are realistic about their situation and will either adjust accordingly or seek a better solution.

One of the best matches, as they will both be able to harness their positive forces and achieve lasting unity and success together. Both are aware, aggressive and very ambitious. The Monkey is practical and crafty while the Dragon has more than enough willpower and energy for two. He will plan while she will set their goals higher each time. He loves challenges and she gives him great reassurance by standing behind him through thick and thin. Both will indulge each other, exchange ideas and work in harmony.

Both may tend to magnify the frailties of the opposite party. He is lively, outgoing and enterprising while she is perservering, ambitious and sophiscated. No doubt they are in the same big league but they cannot help challenging and at times opposing each other because of their natural jealousy and inborn suspicious inclinations. Both may have to be more sincere and straightforward before they can feel comfortable with each other.

Both partners in this union are versatile, flexible and outgoing. Whether or not they can coexist in a spirit of goodwill will rest largely on their efforts to control their self-centred personalities. Neither is long on endurance, and they will not persevere in working out their differences if one finds the other lagging behind. They are both independent and practical individuals who can cooperate well if they want to, as they possess the same quick mind and keen faculties.

The Sheep lady loves to play house but she may make too many demands on the wily Monkey. He may be flattered by her attentiveness but still finds her flaws outweighing her virtues. She, on the other hand, is no match for the calculating and evasive Monkey, who may not always take her seriously. The Sheep stands to lose more in this bargain, as the Monkey will exploit her kind and generous nature. Each is on a different wavelength in this union.

A combination that could be binding if envy does not get in the way. If they can think in terms of "we" instead of "I", they can achieve much together. No problem will be too great for them if they meet it in the true spirit of cooperation. Monkeys can rise above pettiness and jealousy if they learn to share the good with the bad. These two could live in harmony if they are willing to stick to each other and not blame each other in the face of adversity.

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.

A good marriage with the partners usually favorably disposed to each other. The Monkey is productive enough and generally smart and sociable. The Dog wife will be cooperative and congenial if he expresses genuine desire to work together. He is apt to be more materialistic and ambitious than she and will be pleased if she does not try to overtake or outdo him in performance. She, on the other hand, is strong and refreshingly unpretentious ally and advisor. She loves his talents but could take a dim view of his envious and conniving traits; he may find her inspiring and fair-minded practices a bit restricting at times. Otherwise, both are well-balanced and intelligent enough to make necessary concessions.

There may be a strong attraction for each in this combination, but the trials of everyday married life could wear it away. The Boar lady is prodding, energetic and staunchly devoted to her loved ones and her goals, but she operates more on blind faith, and in this case the Monkey cannot resist the urge to take advantage of her innocent nature. She, on the other hand, benefits from his financial acumen and guile but is not impressed by his unscrupulous and opportunistic ways. He finds her overconscientious about spreading goodwill about. He could also resent her extravagant generosity at his expense. Both may need extra efforts to put up with each other's frailties.
