Marriage Combinations - The Rooster Husband

He is analytical and a perfectionist; she is stimulating, practical and quite brainy in her own right. He is bossy and dogmatic and prone to giving lectures. She is balky about criticism and can be sharp and petty when offended. He lacks the sensitivity and warmth she seeks in mate. Her resourcefulness and competence make her unwilling to follow his orders blindly. Not a promising match for either party. They tend to agitate each other unnecessarily.

An excellent and lasting union for both. He is open, frank and brave and makes up for her reserve and restraint. He is also hard-working and serious enough for the Ox's love of dignity and prestige. His security-consciousness will certainly appeal to the steadfast and resolute Ox lady. In response to his sunny and optimistic ways, the Ox may become less undemonstrative and be prodded on to more achievements. She is likely to be the more prudent and down to earth of the two, and in spite of his noisy and competent discourse, the Rooster will love to lean on his strong and noble Ox wife. They will find each other responsible and dedicated.

A turbulent and spicy marriage. Both are active and progressive souls but they have wide differences in their personalities. He is too egotistic and eccentric for the colorful Tiger lady and she is too much of a fighter to ever concede defeat in the face of his fastidious criticisms. Under a different circumstances, they may be energetic and diligent, but in this combination they may be stubborn and petty.

They are unlikely to ever find their ideal love in each other. Their personalities may clash strongly because both are vexed by each other's negative traits. He is outspoken, exacting and overzealous in his cutting criticism. She is an artistic and reticent intellectual who may be a bit self-indulgent and unwilling to work hard. When the industrious and ruthlessly efficient Rooster gets through with her, she may feel like a victim of the Inquisition. Needless to say, the Rabbit will be defiant and uncommunicative. The Rooster's lack of tact and indelicate ways are not intentional, but he cannot avoid hurting the Rabbit, who thrives on sympathy and consideration.

An excellent and productive marriage combination. The Rooster is analytical and brainy and will be drawn to the bold and bright personality of the Dragon lady. She will immediately recognize his inherent worth and intellectual prowess. Together they can achieve success in their aspirations. She is purposeful and not easily conquered or frightened into submission by his bossy aggressiveness. She can and will be able to dismiss his loquaciousness with a shrug, as she is bound to have a few peculiarities of her own that he will have to bear. He finds her enthusiasm and energy boundless and exhilarating. She will not resent his running her affairs provided he looks upon her as an equal and respects her opinions.

The exuberant and intrepid Rooster man could brighten up the Snake's serious view of life and bolster her spirits as well. A prosperous union for both. The are both intellectuals but on different levels. She is serene, reflective and deliberate; he is overcharged with zeal and dauntless optimism. This union provides them with the opportunity to balance the scales and offset each other's excesses.

A smooth marriage is not indicated as these two strong-minded individuals are easily irritated by each other. He can be provocative and undiplomatic and will castigate her for her high living and lack of steadiness. But she is too sophisticated, witty and flamboyant to settle for the simple and hard-working life he has planned. The Rooster may have grandiose ideas but his methods are dependable and precise. In the opposite corner, the Horse may be more practical and realistic about her goals but she is unpredictable and inconsistent in her method of application. He cannot comprehend her changeable ways and she cannot abide his strict routine and obsession with facts and figures.

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.

Most likely to result in a cool and defensive union unless both partners can alter their behavior suitably. The Monkey could have the annoying habit of grabbing what she wants and hanging on to it, oblivious of what others may feel. He is too rigorous and stringent to let her get away with this. She is not amused, on the other hand, by his skillful and parsimonious ways, nor impressed with his gift for oratory and debate. She possesses equal powers of rhetoric and will provoke him to anger. They tend to rub each other the wrong way. The will only cooperate when the inducement to do so is irresistible.

Both are virtuous personalities but this match could provoke an unhealthy "holier than thou" attitude between these contenders. They are both peevish and often obsessed with their own views and will not pay much heed to the opinions of the other. However, these two are also duty-oriented and have conscientious and responsible natures. Who knows, they may be able to relinquish some of their demanding ways to achieve common goals. Then again, both are argumentative and opinionated, and there may be endless discussions before they sign the Peace Treaty or agree to call a truce.

No doubt both parties here have fine minds, value their integrity and are proud of themselves. However, in spite of their self-assurance and poise, they are also very outspoken. If the Rooster starts to nag and grumble about the Dog's frailties, she could respond by throwing harmony out the window and giving him some scalding rhetoric of her own. Both parties have sharp tongues and could hurt each other quite painfully. A workable relationship only if one of them is unselfish and sensible enough to entice the other to lay down arms.

The Boar is trusting and easygoing. She accepts things at face value and will politely skim the surface instead of offending others. The Rooster makes pointed accusations; he is the unrelenting private eye who has to get to the root of the problem even if it means upsetting everyone's apple cart in the process. The Boar is an independent thinker but is always receptive to suggestions, while he is observant about every detail. She would love to take his advice if only he could put a little sugar on it. She is prone to being naive and easily imposed on by others. She may have need of his sharp faculties. This could be the one common denominator of their marriage.

A union which could develop fairly well if they have strong mutual interests. They are both sensible and outgoing and could find contentment because of the lack of friction in this marriage. She may be more affectionate and thrifty but the Dog is reasonably easygoing and tactful enough to avoid bickering with her on unimportant issues. Both will try to give each other enough breathing space to ensure freedom of expression and movement about their house.

Both are faithful and loyal and will take their conjugal duties seriously. Their difficulties could arise from the Ox's overbearing attitude and rigid opinions. The Dog prefers free speech and equality and may not humor the narrow-minded Ox for too long. The Ox, on the other hand, may resent the Dog's overdirect and outsoken ways; she can nurse grievances for a long time. They both shun pettiness and injustice, but are sometimes guilty of these faults themselves. A relationship that needs a lot of understanding and compromise.

Both are idealistic by nature and have the same humanitarian interests. The Dog can be more objective and logical than the animated but hotheaded Tigress. He is thus able enough to advise her when she gets too emotional or impulsive. He is diplomatic and unbiased and will persuade her to see reason without touching any of her sensitive spots. The Tiger, on the other hand, is demonstrative, affectionate and honest with her feelings, which the Dog likes, and her sanguine disposition could live up any relationship. They will feel completely at ease with each other. A well-suited match that should enhance this couple's unpretentiousness and generous personalities. A combination that will bring out the best in both.

A good and lasting match. The Rabbit is imaginative, charming and diplomatic. The Dog is straightforward but agreeable in manner. Both enjoy honest fun and entertainment, but will prefer activities that have useful purposes. They have innately cooperative spirits and will allow each other a fair degree of independence and assertiveness. She has a strong need for comfort and luxury, while he is less materialistic and more more understanding. Both will have little difficulty in putting up with each other's peculiarities. A union that should bring out the best in each of the partners.

Each may have the wrong chemistry for the other. Their basic dispositions are uncomplimentary and they may opt to disperse their energies in different directions. Both have leadership abilities but in totally different directions. The Dog loves cooperation and may resent the Dog's audacious, high-handed and overpowering tactics. She may find him taciturn and erratic if she pushes him too much; the Dog has a reputation for being pugnacious and acidly sharp when hurt. Neither can conform easily to the other's wishes and this could only be a love-hate relationship at its best.

He is level-headed and open-minded but may still be puzzled by her mystique. She has a fair respect for his intelligence but is inclined toward more sophistication and luxury than the unmaterialistic Dog can endure. Both lack the proper understanding to ever be totally enchanted with each other's personality, but may be realistic enough to have an amicable life together if each can accept the other for what he or she is.

This will be a happy and fruitful match, as these two people have a sound understanding of each other's needs and deficiencies. The Dog is honorable and intelligent enough to work well with the capable Horse. He also admires her keen knowledge of timing and strategy, while she finds him reasonable and practical enough to depend on. They will both get the cooperation they seek and still be able to enjoy the degree of individualism and independence they require.

They may have strong or weak conflicts of interest, 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 different personalities.

A workable and fairly positive match if both are generous and forgiving enough to discount the other's frailties. The Monkey wife will admire the Dog for his sensible approach and logical outlook; no one knows the value of intelligence more than she. He, on the other hand, sees her as a capable go-getter and will appreciate her witty and charming personality. She is the more materialistic of the two and he is the more idealistic. She values tangible wealth. He puts his principles first. Together they could contentedly travel the middle of the road.

A cool to moderate coexistence is in store for this couple. Both are discriminating and forthright souls who may be easily displeased with each other's faults. Normally, they may strive harder to be more agreeable, but this match could bring out their most offensive traits, making them willful and uncompromising. Both are too quick to retaliate when challenged and can be fierce fighters. The Dog is nice and easygoing only as long as you keep out of his hair. The Rooster is virtuous and equally sincere in her efforts, but she has much too rigid an outlook to suit the Dog. She will make him feel like she is out to reform him and he will never stand for that.

They are reasonably compatible. Both have the same warm and stable nature although the female of the species may be the more outspoken and critical of the pair. An idealistic and conscientious couple who will seek and value each other's opinions. Dogs are fairly conforming in marital relationships and will perform well they desire harmony. No large problems in this union if they will consult and respect each other. They should always make joint decisions as neither can tolerate being left out.

This couple may have quite dissimilar personalities but could still maintain a fairly agreeable relationship. He is dependable and sharp enough for her to rely on, while she is loving, uncomplaining and affectionate enough for him to have comfortable feeling togetherness. They are not averse to mutual concessions and will share whatever they have with each other. A union that will be happy because neither will need to harp on the other's weakness.

Marriage Combinations - The Boar Husband

There is a good measure of attraction between these two and they will strive to have a companionable and peaceful relationship. Both are outgoing, sociable and energetic and will probably center their life around their home, their friends and their mutual interests, which will include a good deal of entertaining. This couple will be drawn to active pursuits and have definite ideas about their involvements. She could be the more sensitive and prudent of the two, while he is positive but too conciliatory at times for his own good. He may have need of her counsel.

An acceptable union but unlikely to be a strong one. Their different outlook and behavioral patterns will engender underlying friction. As a rule the Boar is warm, generous and understanding, but the Ox lady may only notice his sensuality and love of extravagance and find him too immoderate for her needs. On the other side, the Ox's predilection for hard work and constant security and self-discipline may unnerve the Boar. He is a jovial, gregarious and open and he works only to ensure his leisure. She is serious, systematic and rigid and finds contentment in her labors.

A warm and gratifying union, as each side has a strong desire to please the other. Both are affectionate, dynamic and progressive in their basic attitude and will complement each other. He is kind and understanding enough to cope with the unpredictable and exciting moods of the Tiger, while she finds him devoted, courageous and unselfish. The Tiger is usually repentant for her outbursts when she meets no opposition, and the Boar's good humor and compassionate ways will bring out the best in her and make her more compliant to his wishes.

The Boar is courageous and dedicated enough for the quiet and well-mannered Rabbit. She is sagacious, resilient and subtle enough to impart some of her astuteness to him without his noticing. He finds her kind and cautious and will lavish on her both his affections and the luxuries she lies. The Boar is selfless enough not to seek more than the Rabbit can give and she will be happy to be the object of his attentions and generosity. Both could feel enriched by this union.

A fairly successful relationship in which the gains will probably outweigh the losses. Both are ardent and forceful, although in different ways. The powerful Dragon wife could stimulate any spouse into action or break him in the process. The Boar is not averse to bending to the desires of his loved one and will be tireless in his efforts to achieve success and win her approval. They are evenly matched in energy and love of physical exertion. Their mutual flaw is that they are both too responsive to stimuli and could be easily carried away by enthusiasm and excesses. There may be no one to apply the brakes.

The aesthetic Snake cannot stand the Boar's sincere but mundane and simple ways. He finds her too complex and secretive. The Snake is too highly evolved, ambitious and profound for the over indulgent and trusting Boar. She will not approve of his open and easy going manners and will be aloof and unsympathetic to him. The Boar, in turn, will find the Snake's uncommunicative and coldly calculating attitude very disconcerting. Both will suffer from unfulfilled expectations and a lack of appreciation for each other's positive traits.

They are both pleasure seekers and have very sociable personalities and could benefit each other to a certain extent. She is imaginative and resourceful while he is dependable and good-natured. The Boar admires the Horse's animated and cheerful ways, and she finds his devotion and honest fortitude very pleasing. They both understand the value of compromise and will have an active and involved marriage without stepping on each other's toes. They will opt to live their life to the fullest. On the darker side, neither party will worry too much about tomorrow.

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.

A fairly civil union, but they may not be really fascinated by each other's real personality. The Boar is too straightforward and scrupulous for the complicated Monkey. She has more pungent tastes and the Boar will definitely be too bland. On the other hand, while the Monkey is deviously charming, her basic intricacy and pretentiousness may prove too much for him. Both are bound to be irritated and bruised by the incapacities of the other. Still, they could make a go of this match if they can figure each other out and concentrate on their positive qualities.

Could turn out to be a feasible match if both parties make the proper concessions. There will be areas of disagreement, but both have the capacity to work out differences if they admire each other enough. The Boar may be too passionate and warm for the analytical and mentally inclined Rooster, while she is too argumentative and knowledgeable to follow or love him blindly. However, on the positive side, neither is too thin-skinned and criticism will slide off their backs like water. He is honest and accommodating and has a true need for her diligent and critical mind, and while she is capable and self-confident, she will have every need for the diplomacy and reliability of the affable Boar.

A kind and agreeable relationship despite their differing attitudes toward life. Both are robust, open and honest and like doing their best whenever possible. However, the Dog could be aggressive and will not withhold her criticism if the Boar is too self-indulgent or lax in his duties. She is not as passionate as he, and may lack understanding of his large appetites and sensuality. Still, they could find common grounds for cooperation as the Dog has more insight than the Boar and will be loyal to him. Likewise, the Boar is tolerant and generous enough to forgive the Dog's peculiarities and see her as the trustworthy and noble ally she is.

A combination that could work out well if they can take the good with the bad. Being born under the same sign, both will be strong, courageous and modest, but they may lack direction and tenacity and may not be able to strengthen each other's weak points. Sincerity and goodwill without resolute and systematic organization could wreak havoc for two such well-meaning people. One of them will have to be unemotional and disciplined enough to face reality and adversity, otherwise their mutual love and loyalty will not be much protection for them.
