Rat

The Rat may not like setting up house with an oversensitive and impractical Sheep lady. She, on the other hand, will respond only when she is pampered and indulged. The prudent Rat may conclude that she is too expensive to maintain and she may find him too calculating and greedy to suit her tastes. Neither of them is openly combative but they could harbor deep resentments and be very frustrated and dissatisfied by doing so.

Ox

She can organize an artistic and comfortable nest for him while he acts as her defender. But he is prudent and perservering while she is sentimental and capricious. He accumulates and she spends. The Ox is strong and decisive; she is weak and insecure. She loves being sheltered and reassured, but Mr Ox may not be so obliging as he expects a great deal from others and his Sheep wife will become depressed when he exacts too much discipline and self-denial from her. Both may find the going rough at times.

Tiger

He is outgoing, involved and vivacious. She is domesticated, sensitive and clinging. He will be companionable but cannot devote himself exclusively to her needs and finds her too dependent and indecisive. She is basically understanding but could wallow in self pity if she finds him curt, impatient and unconcerned about her trivial complaints. Each will have to adjust to the other's ways before they can make this marriage work.

Rabbit/Cat

Each is receptive tothe vibrations of the other partner. The Rabbit/CAt appreciates her compassionate and sensitive ways and she finds him kind, astute and sagacious enough to make their decisions. Her dependence could make him feel more important and purposeful. He is a good listener and she needs sympathy and advice more than action. Both are romantic and affectionate and will enjoy domestic bliss.

May not turn out to be such an appealing pair. They will live harmoniously only after much effort. He is adventurous and independent while she is ruled by emotions and her moods. She loves home and family but he may not care to be so domesticated. She cries easily and he finds it hard to express the sympathy and gentleness she craves. He is ambitious and decisive where she is artistic and intuitive. He is the knight in shining armor who will love helping a lady in distress, but not if she is going to make a habit of it.

Companionable only up to a certain extent. The lusty Snake may like to get wrapped around the subject of his affections but he won't like it when the Sheep clings to him indefinitely. He will feel trapped. The realistic and efficient Snake is basically an achiever. The Sheep is sensitive, sentimental and docile. He will sacrifice a great deal to realize his ambitions. She is self-indulgent and may be easily discouraged when the going gets rough. He is highly intelligent and she is highly emotional. They find it hard to bridge the gaps in their relationship in times of difficulty.

She is delicate and kind-hearted. He is cheerful and practical enough to inject humor and purpose into her life. He can be easygoing with the gentle Sheep, who is compassionate enough to overlook his selfishness if he can liven up her moods and teach her the quickest route around her magnified problems. He will be grateful for a pleasant and warm home and will find the Sheep concerned enough about him to adjust her way of life to his inherent needs. Each will complement the other and this could be a very happy marriage indeed.

The Sheep cares deeply for the welfare of his family, but in this combination the Sheep wife may turn out to be the stronger of the two. Both love luxury and dependency too much but they could succeed as a unit if they combine their strengths. He will assume responsibility when there is no one else around to do so, and she loves to be the power behind the scenes. Both are good homemakers and compassionate enough to put up with each other's weak points. They should be careful about being too protective or indulgent with their children.

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.

The tough-minded Rooster has the stamina to match his taste for work and perfection. The Sheep is kind-hearted, emotional and dependent. He may patronize her need to cling to someone, but cannot be expected to put up with her self-pitying and indulgent ways. He can deal better with facts than with her tender feelings. She can understand his optimistic drive and ambitions, but may find him too cold, calculating and particular. She is genteel and easily hurt and could pack up and go home to Mama if he censures her too much or too often. The tolerance factor in this combination is very low.

They may have strong or weak conflicts of interst, but this sort of union will make both partners less amiable than they normally are. She is too sentimental and her wistful ways will serve to irritate the logical Dog, who will be more curt and impatient than sympathetic. She is tolerant and unselfish when handled correctly, but in this case she may become withdrawn and dejected by the Dog's hardy and direct manner. In the final analysis, both may find that they have too little in common to bear the strain of their very different personalities.

A warm, intimate marriage for this couple. Both will give their best to the union and have a deep love and genuine concern for one another. The Boar is sturdy, gallant and thoughtful enough to please the gentle and compassionate Sheep lady. She, on the other hand, will mother him and make him the object of her worship. He is sensual and simple and will interpret her possessiveness as true love and devotion. The Boar is generous and protective, and the Sheep will perform her best when she knows she is loved and appreciated, as she will be in this union.
