Legend has it that Buddha called together twelve symbolic animals for a power powwow. The Rat showed up first. As recompense for your alacrity, Buddha awarded you the honor of being the first sign of the Chinese zodiac. To know a Rat is to understand just how seriously you take Buddha's gift of first position. "Born leader" is a gross understatement. You are a leader's leader..

You are the person for whom the expression, "Never a dull moment" was invented. You love fiercely, work intensely, play with the zeal of a driven golf ball, compete with everyone in sight (including yourself) and never stop talking. You have opinions on all subjects. What's more, you never cease to offer yours. You insist on discussing every aspect and nuance of any idea, scrutinizing all the details and dissecting each shade of meaning.

You do too much, go in too many directions at once, and are constantly at risk of scattering your effort, weakening the thrust of your central strength. You get more accomplished in twenty-four hours than the rest of us do in as many days. An engine inside your ratty little head hums along in perpetual motion, jet-propelling you to achieve.

The name of the game for you is "Herculean performance". No halfway measures or small potatoes for you. You are never satisfied with the mediocre. Piddling projects bore you. Routine stifles you. Only novelty and excitement stir the cauldron, causing your little Rat heart to throb - kaboom, kaboom. Daredevil plans, romantic callings entice and inspire you. Out of nowhere, poof! Off you go, following your heart instead of your hitherto reasonable head. Next thing you know, you're running a war or diving for pearls.

You don't flinch at transplanting your entire family to Thailand for a year to learn the language and discover Thai cuisine, music and art. You feel adventure ought to be the norm - the more harrowing, the happier you are.

Although you can be thoughtful at times, it is rare to catch you sitting quietly. You are constantly, exaggeratedly and with reckless abandon, on the run. You jump on the treadmill when you leap out of bed in the morning and never stop till you drop back into bed. "Go" is your byword, action your hobby, drama the very soul of your existence. You need movement the way Dogs need company. Anything less than whirlwind running, chasing and accomplishing depresses you. If you stop whirring like an overwrought helicopter, you sink and sulk, complain and drive everyone to distraction.

You are not easy, but you are worth it - ask anyone who has one of you for a lover, parent, child or friend. You adore and cherish those close to you, pay them incessant compliments, remind your loved ones when to take their medicine, drive them to the mountains in the middle of the night for a ski jaunt, give up Sunday afternoon to hang kitchen cupboards single-handedly, advise on finances, decorating, or heartbreak.

You not only esteem and protect those you love - you take the necessary time to show it as well. You are masterful in giving undivided attention or creating individually designed moments in order to please and encourage any person you adore.

Conversations with you can be tedious. You need to talk but are not attracted to addressing your monologues to the mirror. You need an audience. You crave feedback. But your hidden agenda calls for you to take over the direction of the chat and ultimately monopolize it. You tend to tell stories people have heard before. You tend to begin all conversations at a point close to your own birth, tracing each developing molecule through infancy and childhood until finally, an hour later, you arrive at yesterday's gripping experience with the balding bank teller whose eyes are two different colors.

You have trouble accepting second place. Not only are you jealous of attention given to others, but you must be seen to shine and be thought of as the brains and soul behind everything. Backseat driving is one of your specialties. In company, you often try to usurp the dynamic of the group, and because you are both seductive and aggressive, you often accomplish this, sometimes by the most divinely clever and slinky means.

Quick of wit and fleet of foot, you know better than almost anyone how to take your time, sneak up on your prey, focus on your target and pounce at the perfect split second. When first you join the group, you pretend to cooperate with the crowd, play all the socially necessary games, fitting neatly in like putty in a window frame. Then, when least expected, you rocket to a position of force, effortlessly zap the others into submission, and perform a peaceful (but no-nonsense) takeover.

You need social acceptance and peer approval. You spend much of your life seeking a place in society where you can feel both comfortable and loved for who you really are. Attention and affection, regular release of emotion, and close companionship are essential to your equilibrium. However, because you are not easily open and intimate with strangers and tend to keep your counsel rather than tell the truth in delicate situations, you are frequently cut off from real friendship and camaraderie. And you are the first to wonder why. You may have a large circle of acquaintances but because you fear proximity, tend to be suspicious of easy intimacy, and refuse to suffer fools, you may have only one or two good friends whom you trust and with whom you share innermost secrets.

Little makes you feel worse than loneliness. The fear of isolation plagues you. If you sense that you are being ignored or suspect rejection by a loved one, you can soon become invested with a panic that drives you to indulge in excess. You are not naturally promiscuous so sex is not usually where you seek solace. But without human connection, you may take to drugs, overspend, gamble, or drink, and sometimes never return to a normal life.

The Chinese claim that Rats have an easy childhood and young adult life but that you sometimes fall prey to making poor choices about love and money in midlife. The years between thirty-five and fifty-five can be tormented, uncertain and financially unrewarding for you. However, the Chinese also say that if you gain wisdom through adversity, you can benefit from a comfortable and harmonious old age.

You are somewhat tight-fisted. You know how to earn money and are gifted at keeping it. As you are supremely opportunistic, you only invest time and emotion in exclusive relationships where there is something to gain. Once you earn money, you take it seriously. You are the original gold-pieces-in-a-sock-under-the-bed hoarder of your shekels.

By contrast to these scrimping habits, you surprise people occasionally with sudden, inordinate generosity. If you take a shine to someone, you are likely to lavish everything from exciting presents to flowery compliments and deafening applause on him or her in an effort to show your appreciation. You open your house and arms to your loved ones forever.

Hospitality is among your good qualities, yet you can be cranky as hell. There is a meticulous side to your character that wants every chore done correctly, flawlessly and without ado. You are impatient with sloppy work, intolerant of those who cannot do what you want, and you find yourself amazingly comfortable with those you consider fellow geniuses.

In public, you always appear cool and controlled. At first meeting, one is invariably impressed by your self-possession, how cheerful yet businesslike and serious your demeanor, how dashing, how serene, and how together you seem. Rat women take pains always to be well groomed and spiffily dressed. Rat men wear conservative yet extremely individualistic clothes, choosing rich natural colors and tying scarves or ties with the savoir-faire of a topnotch couturier.

You may have hidden nervous habits. In business meetings, everyone is sitting composedly around a conference table, but you look the most impressively serene. Your placid expression belies no inner anxiety or displeasure. You are actually fidgeting, snapping a rubber band or bending and reshaping a paper clip.

You love parties, social gatherings, political organizations, and clubs. Because you are compelled to obtain the acceptance of your entourage, membership and ascendancy in well-established, well-intentioned groups fire your imagination. Humanitarian efforts and charities bore you, but you will involve yourself - if only to be better accepted by your community. Anyway, you reckon you might be able to run for president of the whole shebang. Even at your gentlest, most unassuming moments, you are hungry for control and influence over others. You will do anything - cater to the needs of whoever it is who makes the group tick, flatter the ladies' auxiliary, regale people with funny stories, and send gifts for the holidays - to be noticed, to earn respect, and to get a chance at the highest office.

Besides being popular and amusing, you are kind. You are also honest, intelligent, methodical, meticulous, versatile and flexible. Your ability to sugarcoat bitter pills, talk people in and out of tight spots and offer sound advice is unparalleled. You are also an adviser whose irresistibly seductive sweet talk inclines people to share their secrets with you.

As for yourself, you prefer to remain impenetrably secretive about what's going on inside your head and heart. After all, you need to gain ground, profit from the network of your friends and acquaintances, earn and keep material wealth, and reach for power, which precludes the luxury of confiding in others. If you open your own Pandora's box, too much of your soul will be revealed and you will not only feel naked, but will inevitably become vulnerable to the onslaughts of enemies and competitors.

In China, Rats have a reputation for stinginess. Not avarice. But a peculiar form of money-consciousness. There exists a complicated set of financial priorities belonging exclusively to you. For instance, when the bill arrives at the table, if you decide to pay it, you invariably call attention to your generosity. In other words, you want to be seen to be generous.

You are strangely... no... drastically penny wise and pound foolish. You rush around the house tutting and scolding, turning down thermostats and switching off lights, or else you hoard sugar and flour in case the price goes up. Then you might complain because your larder isn't overflowing with cases of champagne and race out to buy fresh strawberries in December. You spend lavishly on food, entertainment and drink. Your house is always filled with excellent quality furniture and you always dress nattily. Yet when it is time to put a hand in your pocket to bail out a friend, your claws wither and fall helplessly to your sides.

Yet, in other ways you are among the most generous people alive. No Rat lends money easily, but scores have lent me a house, handed over the car keys and willingly shared a network of acquaintances with me. You are an inveterate giver of fine gifts, thrower of extravagant parties, provider of ample bonne cuisine, labor and hospitality, i.e., being seen to be generous. Yet, no matter how you cut it, what many would call a lot more than pin money will forever remain saved either under your mattress, in a safe deposit box or in your offshore bank account.

You make a poor gambler. Why? Because you are a sore loser. You shouldn't gamble because if you don't win, you hate yourself for frittering away precious capital. You may never offer a friend your shirt, but you can always be counted on to cover his back - metaphorically that is.

You are not always devious. You are mostly a sincere, warm-hearted and gentle soul. You desperately seek dominion over others because you fear both loneliness and failure. Power over others ensures that the others are present, swimming around in your personal pond, unable to depart from your sphere of influence. Although it is commonly thought that the chief is always the loneliest Indian, you clearly do not see things that way. To you, a solid leadership position - father, mother, boss, teacher, president - not only symbolizes success but promises lifelong companionship. Although you prefer to be loved and cherished by your constituency, whether your serfs and subjects adore or detest you is of little importance. What matters most is that you arrive at the summit and remain on top. Whatever the cost in loss of esteem or lack of respect, at least you are surrounded.

What remains your single most glaring weakness is a thorny complex about who you really are. Not visibly insecure or unsure of yourself, you are nonetheless a walking identity crisis. You present a public picture of solidity and good fellowship, broadcast confidence rays in public, and seem to feel quite fine in any situation. You are adaptable, flexible and usually not stubborn. But you are soooo nervous. Soooo afraid of losing, of not pleasing, of never having enough, and of not being up to snuff that you live in a perpetually precarious position of self-doubt.

Not only do you want to be perfect, but you suffer for your lack of perfection. You regret the indifference of every person you do not charm or attract. You vow that you will improve your approach, be nicer and kinder, and find a way to inveigle everyone to like, appreciate, approve of, and understand you. Perhaps this is why you are so relentlessly beguiling. You dream of being loved solely for what you are. You are prepared to perform valorous deeds or commit underhanded finagles - anything - to ensure that you get that much-needed loving acceptance. Yet you were born dissatisfied with yourself. You would always rather be perfect than just plain "fine." You fear never being able to inspire a reciprocal relationship intense and unconditional enough to satisfy your need for unflinching, unswerving devotion.

To alleviate this, you should give yourself more latitude. You should drop your ego and your guard, learn to accept your mistakes, indulge yourself in a few harmless peccadilloes, and realize that you, too, have the right to be an ordinary human being. With a modicum of objectivity, a few years of introspective psychotherapy, and possibly even meditation, you can emerge better balanced - not perfect, mind you, but better.

You are always seething with ideas and fomenting plans unimagined by mere mortals. Layers and shades of meaning camouflage your rage or joy or other explosive feeling. Out of nowhere you commit some act of spontaneity so outrageous and unexpected that people find you explosively unpredictable.

Rat with Rat

This is a marriage guaranteed to enrich both of your lives. Both partners fear loneliness; each clings to the unit with tiny tough teeth and claws. You know how to behave as a friend as well as a lover, taking a mate's part in business ventures as well as helping each other over rough patches. You shower each other with presents and solicitude. You appreciate kindnesses, understand your mate's needs, and supply complete support.

A few spiky moments may crop up. You both flirt outrageously! He'll be eyeing some comely dinner guest while she plays footsie under the same dining table with the comely guest's hubby. Bitter accusations ensue - rifts, breaches of trust and days of mute tension. Early on, the two of you should take a vow to discuss everything when it happens. Lay jealousies and suspicions on the table so they can be properly dissected and jettisoned before the weeklong silences set in. You ought to restrain your social life. Too much innocent tootsie-rubbing with cocktail cronies may ultimately weaken your bond.

Normally, the sex is fantastic. You both require masses of time together in bed. You also agree on adventurous sex. Your bedroom games are enormously complicated, but harmless.

Rat with Ox

Union between these two signs guarantees matrimonial stability. The Ox provides you with the grounding you lack, and you peek through the Ox's wall of convention and resistance to change, pepping up a possibly dreary, plodding existence. This combination fits, each rounding out the other's sharper edges.

The Ox's steadfastness provides you with the kind of security you need. The devoted Ox will be happy to take on the role of provider, which allows you to act as family protector. You enjoy giving parties and attending social functions. This is all the better for the quiet Ox who, without your exuberant nature, would simply stay at home ruminating. Each of you is happy to fulfill a role. Alluring and meticulous, you are a perfect helpmate for an Ox in business, doing back flips and handstands to encourage the Ox's career.

Of course, the Ox demands complete fidelity. Despite a gnawing desire to stray occasionally, you will mostly remain faithful. What about passion? Neither you nor the Ox is overly preoccupied with the fanciful notion of zany lovemaking practices. Your sex life will be lusty, if routine.

Rat with Tiger

At first meeting you two charm the pants off each other. You find the Tiger charming and would love to show him off, while the confident Tiger is amused by your vigorous chatter and lively sense of humor. But there is bound to be friction in the long run.

After the first spark of love, the two of you will find fault with each other. The rambunctious, adventurous Tiger will forever be seeking excitement - off on safari to Kenya, then on to San Francisco to catch the next earthquake. You, being more domestic, will come to hate the sight of suitcases.

The Tiger craves instability, is tempted by danger and the prospect of having a new job every year. Everything is challenging to this aggressive beast. You will not always find the Tiger's inconsistencies appealing and will be plagued by worry. Your mental stability depends greatly on material security and, with the Tiger always job-hopping, you will fret over money.

To endure, both of you must remember the initial reasons which drew you together. You have lots to talk about and agree on many subjects. If you can recall how the Tiger roared attractively into your life, and the Tiger can continue to appreciate your powers of seduction, there is hope for an exciting, long-lived marriage.

Rat with Cat

This game of Cat and Mouse is one I would resist playing. Although both of you have some similar traits, you are not very compatible. Both have strong needs for a home. One might imagine you rummaging through furniture catalogs together or co-choosing wallpaper for your new kitchen. But unfortunately, you and the Cat disagree on just about everything else.

In conflict, you will forever elude each other. Neither is prepared to make concessions or take steps towards reconciliation. The Cat will be hissing and you sulking. This testy relationship grows pickier and pettier by the day.

However dissonant a chord you strike, once joined, it will be hard for the two of you to separate. You both cling to security. Divorce would lead both of you into the unknown. As you find the familiar reassuring, you would probably prefer to be mildly satisfied together than partnerless.

Sexually, you tend to be excited by sadomasochistic games, tearing out each other's hair in the midst of a passionate embrace. In time such practices will lead to a sexually destructive relationship. Prolonged commitment is unadvisable.

Rat with Dragon

This is an absolutely delicious marriage. The Chinese claim it as one of your best-arranged unions. You will be warmed by the heat of the dashing Dragon and the Dragon will bask in your generous applause. You two will complement each other beautifully. Guaranteed bliss.

With the strong-willed Dragon around, you will be happy to give up total control. Anxieties slowly subside, bringing peace and comfort. The Dragon is so emotionally effusive that the burden of worry will be taken off your poor little shoulders. Bigger and bolder, the Dragon will carry the weight of your turmoil. You will not feel competitive about the Dragon's position of strength, and you are happy to stand in your partner's shadow.

In your eyes, the Dragon does no wrong. All the better for the lucky Dragon who loves to shine. The dazzling Dragon is so bright and exciting that even your usual hearty appetite for sex may be overwhelmed and suddenly wane. Despite his or her innate wisdom, the proud Dragon may fail to see the problem (The Dragon's ego can be bigger than his or her brain at times), and place blame on you. A relaxed, rational discussion will clear the air, and in no time, the Dragon's conversational fireworks will re-ignite your temporarily diminished sensuality.

Rat with Snake

Although this alliance can often make for an interesting friendship, I would not recommend it as a romantic relationship. You and Snake may attract each other sexually. But ideally, your alliance should remain purely social.

On an everyday level, your life together will be full of upheaval, disagreement, and disappointment. After the initial physical pull, the Snake will withdraw and keep compartments of his or her life safely tucked away. The Serpent's weakness for flirtation will be even greater if you are clinging.

You will grow uneasy and fearful of security. The Snake's investments may not prove fruitful, and you will have to commandeer direction of the family accounts. Snakes are expensive. Tempers will boil, especially yours, as you stagger under the weight of attempting to hold up the crumbling fort. The Snake storms out of the house to the nearest boutique to supplement an already overweight wardrobe.

The only moments of repose in this union will be spent between the sheets, passionately entwined for hours. You will enjoy the sexual attention the slippery Snake contributes and, generous as ever, you will be forgiving. Be wary of your enchanting Snake. If you are not careful, even you can fall victim. Snakes will reel you in with promises, love you to pieces, and then swallow you whole for breakfast.

Rat with Horse

In China, even the corner grocer shudders at the mention of this unlikely pairing. The Horse is far too self-centered for your kindly giving, dependent nature. Although initially attracted by your differences, you should not marry. Beyond a shared love of money and all it can afford you, no common ground exists between the two of you.

You are likely to be mistreated by the haughty Horse. The Horse is moody, causing you to feel unstable, and so individualistic that he or she will not even consider your feelings, which will unnerve you. As though your were not already anxious enough.

This relationship appeals initially because each of you feels the other's power and finds it irresistible. But beware a power struggle in the making. Watch for red flags from day one. They are planted all over the map of this couples' difficult territory.

Ultimately, the Horse will not feel sufficiently challenged by you as a partner. To show disappointment, the Horse may then criticize and attack you, and, because marriage is so basic to your security, you will keep on keeping on trying to please the nagging Horse. This only makes things worse. Now the Horse despises you for your "weakness." The Horse's impatience can lead to a search for pleasure elsewhere and subsequent merciless infidelity. In short, all the negative aspects of the Horse's personality will be drawn out by your frailties.

Under the Horse's influence, your ordinarily perky self image will pale. A family and children could temporarily return you to your whimsical self. But when the children grow up and leave home, you may become depressed and lonely. Yet no matter your unhappiness and fearing disruption, you find it difficult to leave the punishing Horse and will only grow bitter and vengeful. A definite marital no-no.

Rat with Goat

This is a tricky one. The Goat enjoys your company but finds your nervousness unsettling. The Goat's peaceful nature appeals to you, but the Goatly lack of interest in the menial tasks and non participation in the chores of everyday life will cause you to fret and worry.

The Goat's fey, lackadaisical nature strikes you as rank laziness. The Goat will spend too much money on unnecessary items. You will suffer anxiety about debt, fiscal responsibility and pervasive insecurity.

This household is in a constant state of cold war. You worry and chew your nails quietly while the Goat fiddles and dreams. You grow more and more nervous. And Goat lacks the necessary initiative to loosen you up or calm you down. All battles will be fought with underhanded tactics and vicious stares. Passive aggression. You will long for a partner with more oomph. The gracious Goat, not courageous enough to confront you, will resist lethargically - but not emphatically enough to suit your need for challenge.

Mutual feelings of inadequacy will be put to rest when you have sex. The Goat is ultra sensual and can exert an almost magical power over you. Thrilled by such intense sexual excitement, you (for once) will be happy to surrender power. The Goat may gain confidence from your submissiveness and see an opportunity to discuss some of your differences. If the physical union is strong, this couple may eventually iron out any discord on the pillow. Great for an affair. Mediocre for marriage.

Rat with Monkey

If all else fails, the two of you can go on the road as a comedy duo. Humor, games, parties, and friends! What fun you'll have! How lucky you are to have been brought together! Shared, your lives will be a never-ending roller-coaster ride. The amusing Monkey, incessantly grimacing from the top of the jungle gym, has you in perpetual stitches. Amid guffaws, you suggest funnier, cleverer antics, urging the witty Monkey to ever more hysterical moves. It's a matrimonial picnic.

You, who are sometimes repressed, will become a tiresome chatterbox alongside a mellow Monkey. But the Monkey never tires of you. It's like owning a walking radio show. You both are so personable, you will always be dining out or entertaining at home. You have a multitude of friends and spend little time alone. As neither is afraid of hard work, money comes easily to you.

The Monkey sometimes uses characteristically diverse interests to justify a desire for sexual promiscuity. Should Monkey betray you, the relationship will become strained. But terminal dissension is rare. Mostly, the two of you live in an amusement park of joy. The very definition of "happily" married.

Rat with Rooster

You and the Rooster incessantly peck away at each other. You are equally jealous and possessive, as well as anxious about your combined future. One would expect this alliance to devote long hours to mutual accounts, carefully monitoring each debit. Nervous and impatient to pin down every detail, you've surely planned ahead, booking your flights to London and your trips to Morocco months in advance. Not so! Each thinks that the other should be the adult in the relationship. Indeed, each wants freedom from burdensome responsibility. You are forever arguing over money. Each deems the other too spendthrift on the wrong items. Showoff Rooster wants a shimmering new Jaguar. You want a crumbling stone house in the country. Never the twain.

Your active social calendar turns a possessive Rooster green. Your social activity makes the conservative Rooster feel stifled. You accept prestigious invitations and leave the jilted Rooster at home alone. Crushed by your frequent absences, the jealous Rooster grows insecure and looks for new ways to imprison you. This again is more of a power struggle than a relationship. And it is not supposed to be about who wins. Is it?

Using sex as a weapon, each deprives the other when you quarrel. Although basically capable of enjoying each other's company, your mundane conflicts surface in the bedroom. This allows for only intermittent pleasure on the occasional peaceful Tuesday. The union is shaky, at best.

Rat with Dog

This is a potentially happy marriage. Providing the cards are played fairly, you and the Dog can be more than satisfied in each other's company. But be prepared for long, heated discussions sorting out political, social and financial differences of opinion. Each of you loves to argue and defends his or her position admirably. One thing is certain... neither of you will ever be bored.

You, the materialistic partner, can find it difficult to reason with a generous Dog. The Dog gives money away, sometimes forgetting to save enough for the rent. Dogs can't resist the opportunity to succor the needy. The Dog's stability depends on being seen as the philanthropic good guy. You do not agree. You're the hoarder, ravaged by anxiety about savings, unable to understand your puppy-faced mate's desperate need to give it all away. Disagreements abound.

But as each half of this couple feels deeply passionate about the other, true harmony is possible. The Dog's love is unconditional, offering a gentle cradle for your frenetic soul. The happiness you find together in and out of bed will be enhanced by the arrival of scads of kids and pets whom you will nurture and raise together as a team. This is an ever evolving relationship. Mutual goodwill and understanding both have a chance to grow in a Rat/Dog marriage.

Rat with Pig

Indeed, these two make marvelous mates. In China, the Pig symbolizes affluence, which alone keeps you from grinding your teeth. The practical Pig mellows you and Pigs are lucky with money. The Pig's security paints a full time grin on your satisfied face. But the Pig's gentle nature counts for a lot too.

You share a common love for food. Both hanker to taste the glories of old-world cuisines. Safe with the peaceable Pig, you can finally let go, abandoning worry beads and tranquilizers for a glamorous wallow in luxury.

Despite this affluent couple's bent for occasional squandering, you are both potential hoarders. Having a robust savings to depend on will make you very happy. Overly kind and sensitive, the Pig is not always as clever as you in business dealings. Your circumspect counsel is welcome here.

This gregarious and delightful couple is on every host's A-list. Genuine love marks this union. You can expect piglets to abound. The two of you delight in lovemaking. The sensual Pig not only tickles your erogenous zones, but emotional and financial security allows you to surrender fully in bed - where it counts!

Sorry for late response, I've been busy.

A beginner book on the topic that gives insights on the Secret Animal (Hour) is The Handbook of Chinese Astrology by Theodora Lau. Later editions of the book expan into the True (Day) and Inner (Month) Animals. but the edition I read mostly concentrated on Year with a bit on the Secret Animals.

The Definitive Book of Chinese Astrology by Shelly Wu has a lot on the other Animals of the 4 Pillars and even comes with a CD Software that creates interpretations (though I have yet to read it).

Here are some links for your interests .

The Monkey and Rat partnership is one of the best combinations able to work structurally together. The Monkey is an outstanding thinker, which the Rat will be very proud of, while the Rat will be a competent and cheerful partner. The Rat will be able to get the delightful but wandering Monkey to settle down and the Monkey will adore the Rat’s attributes dearly. These two partners will be always looking out for desirable qualities in each other, and their life together will be fulfilling, satisfying and financially prosperous.

The Rat and the Monkey may find it difficult to focus because of the Monkey’s short attention span and the Rat’s constant multitasking, but the Monkey’s optimism will be a good balance to the Rat’s pessimistic outlook. If these two support each other through thick and thin, they will both be able to reach new heights and enjoy a sparkling relationship.

Its very confusing I know .

Apparently according to link its your basic personality type. Its apparently based on the element of your day anial.

It seems to be a blend of Sun Sign and Ascendant since it also affects your appearance.

I got Yin Metal meaning I love attention-it sounds more like my Moon in Leo than Pisces Sun. I tried researching physical appearance but came up short, I'll post what I can find in the future.

In the mean while, I discovered another aspect of Chinese Astrology which deals with Romance and love, the Peach Blossom.

Yin is a female and metal is ruled by venus, so do you look Venusian? Maybe taurean because of the Yin?

The Monkey and Rat partnership is one of the best combinations able to work structurally together. The Monkey is an outstanding thinker, which the Rat will be very proud of, while the Rat will be a competent and cheerful partner. The Rat will be able to get the delightful but wandering Monkey to settle down and the Monkey will adore the Rat’s attributes dearly. These two partners will be always looking out for desirable qualities in each other, and their life together will be fulfilling, satisfying and financially prosperous.

The Rat and the Monkey may find it difficult to focus because of the Monkey’s short attention span and the Rat’s constant multitasking, but the Monkey’s optimism will be a good balance to the Rat’s pessimistic outlook. If these two support each other through thick and thin, they will both be able to reach new heights and enjoy a sparkling relationship.

Wusup, sand! loljk

Question, is rat and ox not a good match? You said yikes, so I'm curious.

The website says it's "one of the best relationships known to Chinese astrologers"

the lowest three here are Snake - Ox - Tiger!

which is insanely wrong - but I will take it with pinch of salt anyway~

best is - Sheep - Rabbit (always) then Pigs - Dragons - Rats - Monkeys

XD idk they're all in the 80s~ lmfao

<3 all the Eastern signs

but I want me a wood rabbit~ <333

.... NAO!

(like Faith! <333) they're the best!

oh but I do love me those tigers and dragons though... Ool despite the weird low score of 79% for Tiger compatibility! mmmmph~

Not sure about the Pig and Snake - I was born in the year of the Metal Pig with Snake Rising.....I might get along with Snakes and not get along with Pig Rising......not sure.

Though it could be like Western Astrology where one needs to look further in the chart than just got by the Chinese sign.

Where would my Dragon Moon fit in with my Pig Year and Snake Rising?
