Chinese compatibility: Rat and Horse
How well do the Rat and the Horse go together? In Chinese tradition the pairing is clashing.
These two animals stand opposite each other in the circle. Tradition calls this a clash: you want opposite things and have to learn not to try to change the other.
What helps: See the difference as a complement, and argue about the issue, never about the person.
The two in love
In love, the Rat is charming, attentive and clever. It needs someone it can talk and make plans with, and it takes good care of its own.
In love, the Horse is lively, honest and freedom-loving. It falls in love quickly and needs someone who runs with it instead of tying it down.
