Rat

A rat is more than a little creature you occasionally find in your downstairs basement. Their appearance may not be as appealing, but their personality is something you'd appreciate. With their charming and inquisitive manner, rats are known to be very popular and adaptable with others. Although they can be greedy at times, rats know how to spot opportunities for success and they have a desire to absorb as much new information as possible, without anyone getting in their way.

timid, lack of concentration, constant need of encouragement, selfish, shrewd

With their strong intuition and quick response, they can easily adapt to any environment. Those born under this sign think quickly and efficiently and with their dexterous hands, they are extremely fast learners.

Rats are the most compatible with Dragons and Monkeys; they can often form very passionate, sexually active relationships with them. But if a Rat is interested in a long-term relationship, they can always lean on a Pig or an Ox. They can get along easily with Rabbits, Dogs, Snakes, and fellow Rats but with a Tiger, Sheep, and Rooster, they can tolerate them but wouldn't make a great long-term match. Rats can be attracted to Horses, but their speed is hard for them to catch up with which can cause conflict.

Ox

When envisioning an Ox, the first thing that usually pops in people's heads is an animal with giant horns and a bad temper. But that's not the case with an Ox. Their giant horns represent their strong will and devotion to work. They are contemplative before taking actions and make very clear distinctions between right and wrong. They may have a tough exterior, but they are extremely tender-hearted. Although they have poor communication skills, they still make great team-workers and are reliable in the workplace.

They can sometimes become clingy and controlling, but with a Dragon and Rat, they can accept it. Fellow Oxen, Monkeys, and Pigs get along well with an Ox when it comes to long-term relationships. But as for Tigers, Sheep, and Horses, they are usually too aggressive for an Ox.

Tiger

Being known as one of the fiercest felines in the jungle, Tigers exude bravery and competitiveness. Tigers are highly respectable animals. They easily win others' trust with anyone they create a relationship with. In the workplace, they can effortlessly juggle multiple projects and get their work done quickly. Sometimes they can be boastful, but they love being active and expressing themselves towards others. They also have a tough outer shell, but in the inside they are as cute as they can be.

Rabbits and Pigs can tolerate Tigers, whereas their fellow Tiger and Sheep can only deal with them so much. They have no interest in Snakes or Rats because they have a tendency to wander and be unfaithful, which stirs up major problems within their relationships. The only animals Tigers clash with are Monkeys and Oxen because they are constantly on guard around them.

Rabbit

Known for their adorable appearance, Rabbits are the best animal to lean on if you need help. They are the most gentle of the creatures, with a compassionate and a hopeless-romantic personality. They cannot bear to stand a dull life with their constant need of adventure and excitement.

Their idea of happiness is just being at home with family.

Rabbits have a constant desire to grow and mature alongside a potential life partner. They have a fear of getting involved fully with Snakes, Dogs, and Rats. An okay match-up for a Rabbit are Tigers and a fellow Rabbit. Dragons, Monkeys, and Roosters wouldn't make great matches because these three would be too emotionally draining and elusive.
