Dragon Compatibility
Every Dragon pairing, rated by the traditional Chinese chart.
The Dragon (ambitious, energetic, charismatic) is placed in an affinity triangle with the Rat and the Monkey — signs four years apart in the cycle that tend to share values and pace. Its single strongest bond in the chart is the secret-friend pairing with the Rooster. Dragons think big, inspire others, and carry natural authority. They are confident, lucky in opportunity, and unafraid of a hard goal.
Best matches: Rooster, then Rat and Monkey. Hardest match: the Dog, exactly six years apart — the traditional "clash" pairing, where attraction and friction often come together. There is also a milder "harm" tension with the Rabbit. Every other sign is a neutral match: workable, but built on effort rather than the calendar.
Remember these ratings describe broad tendencies, not verdicts. Plenty of "clash" couples build long, happy relationships once they agree on how decisions get made. Use the table below as a starting point for a conversation about pace and temperament, and open any pairing for the full write-up.
