Chinese Zodiac Compatibility - Rooster


It is interesting that they can get along well with people born in the year of the snake, because their sanguineness and the latter's shrewdness and slipperiness complement each other. People born in the year of the ox also welcome their liveliness because it animates their dull lives, and those born in the year of the dragon like to learn from their far-sighted ambition.

They can also make good friends with the people born in the year of the tiger, sheep, monkey or pig. But there may be fights with others born in the year of the rooster and people born in the year of the rat. It is difficult for them to have close relations with people born in the year of the rabbit, for their contentiousness will often violate the latter, though they are usually kind-hearted and concessive. Their relationship with people born in the year of the dog is changeable. When their views are identical, they will become close friends, otherwise, they will regard each other as strangers. When necessary, they can cooperate with each other. But if there is a marriage between them, it is doomed to failure.
