Rooster Compatibility

The Rooster (observant, hardworking, direct) is placed in an affinity triangle with the Ox and the Snake — 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 Dragon. Roosters are organized, punctual, and honest to the point of bluntness. They notice detail others miss and take pride in doing a job well.

Best matches: Dragon, then Ox and Snake. Hardest match: the Rabbit, exactly six years apart — the traditional "clash" pairing, where attraction and friction often come together. There is also a milder "harm" tension with the Dog. 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.
