Chinese Astrology and Relationships: Animal Magnetism
Are you dating a Rat or a Snake? Perhaps your lover is an aggressive Tiger or maybe a bit of a Boar? Are you sure that they’re your best romantic match? If they’re part of your trine or triangle, then they definitely are. If, however, they’re that one-in-twelve sign that you’re most likely to have conflict with, you may have some challenges ahead.
Yin and Yang
When it comes to the difference between compatibility and conflict, Chinese astrology makes it pretty simple to understand—it’s as black and white as a yin/yang symbol. That’s not to say that if you’re a Dragon and your sweetheart turns out to be a Dog that you should automatically kick them to the curb. If you’re making it work, then kudos to the two of you. However, if conflict with a partner is a major part of your world, you might find yourself contemplating the idea that there are just a few short inches separating a curb from a rough road.
Of course the dynamic of compatibility and conflict doesn’t just apply to lovers. Our trines are also the people (or animals) that we should surround ourselves with because they’re the ones we work best with and the ones that will help us reach our personal best.
Chinese astrology is based on the lunar year which begins around the time of the first New Moon in the sign of Aquarius. It can occur anywhere between mid-January and mid-February in a given year.
If you don’t see your year of birth below, find the closest one and count forward or backward—a sign repeats once every 12 years.

Each sign is compatible with two other sings and has one sign they are in conflict with. If paired with any other sign, the partnership can go either way. In Chinese astrology, when it comes to conflict and compatibility, opposites do not attract!

Dear Readers: Wow – it would be almost impossible for me to answer everyone’s question short of a reading, but just let me say – first, thanks for reading my article and second, congratulate yourselves on taking an active part in deciphering your own Chinese Astrology Charts. The above combinations (trines) are people who are good for your life and the people you’re most compatible with. The one opposite sign (there’s one for each of the 12 signs) is someone who may not be compatible with you and are actually your least compatible matches overall. That’s not to say that if you’re with someone who is your opposite sign that you won’t be able to make it work, but it may have its challenges – challenges beyond the usual that any couple may experience. If you’re with a sign that is not part of your trine or your conflicting sign, then of course you know better than I if you’re compatible or not. This is a guide to Chinese astrology, but free will always prevails and you are the master of your destiny. I wish us all fruitful and fulfilling relationships that grow and flourish. If you’re still feeling unsure, I always will suggest having a reading done – each person is unique and so is each situation because there is so much more to love and life than just being compatible, but it’s a start. Thanks so much.

Male is a Tiger. Female is a snake. How compatible?
Im a rooster he’s a horse of many different colors…and this means what?
I’m a tiger, my girlfriend is a horse are we soul mates?
I am a dragon and he is a tiger. I have read that our relationship will be intense and can be compatable Do you feel that we are comparable?
Don’t forget that the Chinese calendar starts sometimes in February and the dates are different with western calendar! For instance I should be an ox but because I was born beginning January I fall under the sign of the rat.
well im a Gemini~Snake, my baby who i truly am in-love with is a Libra~Rabbit, he’s 1975, and im 1965….we have an awsome connection even at times when we are apart…….somehow we are not 🙂 we are always connected in spirit. love him and wouldnt trade his friendship for nothing in thiz world!!!
I’m an ox, he’s a dog…now what can you tell me?
I’m a boar and he’s a rooster, what does that mean. We seem compatible but from what I saw I am in question. ??????
I am a snack and my friend is a sheep. Are we a good match?
Im a pig/boar and my mate is an ox, is that compatible?
My boyfriend is a rooster and am a horse are we compatible?
my boyfriend is a rooster and am a horse are we compatible
I’m a horse and my boyfriend is a dragon. Are we compatible at all?
My boyfriend is a rooster and I am a horse are we compatible?
Nice to see the chart…this is so very very accurate
I was born on October 11 1965, my ex wife on January 20 1975
Be for I Register. In Chinese Astrology, I’m a Horse and my Lady partner is a Boar, Is this compatible or not. Please reply. I need to know..
I’m an Aries not a Taurus Thank you very much
Interesting. I am sure there is much more to it as some of the people with my conflicting sign are very dear to me while a person of my trine sign acts as my enemy!
So interesting! Thanks for sharing 🙂 Aliza Ex.5844
I just wanted to know if my boyfriend and I are compatible. He is Sheep/Ram and I am a Snake.
Thank you!
How does a Water Dragon and a Tiger get along in a relationship. His birthday is Oct. 10. Year 1950. Mine is Jan. 23, 1953.
interesting,thanks!
what about a reading ,sometimes?
Who may concern I will like to as you question please first question do you think I will have promotion soon. Next question I in love this woman for many year and do you think she going with or not.
If both have the same animal birth sign , is it good ? Like snake and snake . What’s the conflict ?
HELLO LJ INNES: MY EX IS DRAGON, AND I AM A RABBIT, SHE IS BEIN CALLING ME LATE, I THINK SHE WANTS TO COME BACK WITH ME, DOES THAT MEANS THE DRAGON & RABBIT, CAN CONFLIT
I am a horse and the person of interest is a ox.
That’s why Obama (Tiger) is bad for this country(Monkey) !!!!!!!
Right astrology
In Chinese Astrology I am a boar/pig and my new wife is an Ox. We have known each other for 7 or 8 years. You do describe us pretty close like it says. I am an inventor and she is a librarian, so we are at opposite ends of the spectrum, correct?
My husband is a Dragon and I am a sheep or Ram
are we compatible?
