However, relations between them quickly degenerate. Both the Rat and Horse are strong-willed and opinionated signs. Both are egoists and both want to dominate the relationship. The Rat is open and forthright in expressing his views and has little trouble in igniting the Horse’s short temper.
Differing attitudes towards money may also cause problems. The thrifty Rat likes to keep a close control over the purse strings and views the Horse as a spendthrift and over-generous, while the Horse considers the Rat materialistic and tight-fisted.
A turbulent relationship
Rat and Goat
General Relations
Both the Rat and Goat know how to enjoy themselves and have a fondness for the good life. Together they enjoy wining, dining and leading an active social life. For the short to medium term the Rat and Goat can become good friends but each has traits which irritate the other and in time they may drift apart.
The Rat and Goat do not work well together. The Rat is a supreme opportunist, constantly geared up for action and determined to make the most of his abilities. He is competitive and ambitious. The Goat, however, needs to feel inspired and encouraged by others. The Rat is a self-starter, the Goat needs to be prodded. In work they are best going their separate ways.
In Love and Marriage
The Rat and Goat are both friendly and sociable signs and are often attracted to each other. Both possess romantic and passionate natures and both exude a strong sex appeal.
However, a relationship is hard to maintain and the longer-term prospects for a match between the Rat and Goat are decidedly bleak. As the intensity of their feelings begins to fade they begin to discover the gulf that exists between them.
The Rat is hardworking, industrious and energetic, while the Goat sets about his activities in a more leisurely manner. The Rat is thrifty while the Goat is a spendthrift. The Rat can be forthright and candid in his views, while the Goat is sensitive, shrinks from arguments and takes the Rat’s criticisms very much to heart. The Rat has little time for the Goat’s artistic and sometimes whimsical nature, and in turn, the Goat may come to view the Rat as greedy, meddlesome and fussy.
A difficult relationship
Rat and Monkey
General Relations
With their lively and sociable natures, the Rat and Monkey get on well together. Each greatly admires the other and with their great sense of fun they relate well to each other. The Rat delights in the Monkey’s resourcefulness, wit and keen intellect while the Monkey enjoys the Rat’s charm, drive and ambition. They may become close and lasting friends.
These two signs also work well together. Both are cunning, opportunist and determined to succeed; both recognize this drive and commitment in the other. However both the Rat and the Monkey can be crafty and they may be tempted to outwit the other; neither would succeed, as both are masters in the art of self-preservation. If they can both keep their attention firmly on their joint objectives, they could enjoy considerable success.
In Love and Marriage
The attraction between a Rat and Monkey is strong and in love and marriage they can find much happiness. With their many mutual interests and similar outlooks they are well matched and make a close and loving couple.
Both are keen socializers and between them have many friends. They take great pleasure in entertaining at home. Rats and Monkeys like to live well and, with their money-making talents, most Rat-Monkey couples are financially secure.
The Monkey appreciates the Rat for his loyalty, judgement, enthusiasm and skills as a homemaker. The Rat, in turn, delights in the Monkey’s lively nature, quick wit, resourcefulness and enterprise. Although the Rat is more home Orientated than the Monkey, together they devote much time and energy to their home and to any children they have. Also – as both have a good sense of humour – there is a strong element of fun in their relationship.
An excellent match
Rat and Rooster
General Relations
Although the Rat and Rooster are two sociable and outgoing signs they do not relate well to each other. The Rat dislikes the vanity and egoism of the Rooster, while the Rooster finds the Rat too opportunist and manipulative.
Neither places much trust in the other. Both signs can be notoriously blunt in their views and their outspokenness may prove the deathknell for any friendship that might have existed between them.
The Rat and the Rooster do not work well together. The Rooster plans his activities to the finest detail and is highly organized, while the Rat is supreme at taking advantage of a situation and places great reliance on his charm and resourcefulness. The Rat finds the Rooster too much of a restraining influence, while the Rooster dislikes the opportunistic ways of the Rat. They are not a successful combination.
In Love and Marriage
Initially there may be a strong attraction between them. Both like to lead an active social life, are keen partygoers and both have a deep love of conversation. In the early stages of their relationship they may have much fun together, each charmed by the qualities of the other. However, the longer-term prospects are difficult and each sign needs to make major adjustments if they want to remain together.
Although they may share similar interests, their different personality traits may bring them into conflict. Both are forceful characters, with minds of their own, and each may try to dominate the relationship. The Rooster is precise, orderly and well organized; the Rat prefers to live day to day. There is likely to be much arguing and bickering and, with their forthright natures, each may be critical of the other.
A turbulent match
Rat and Dog
General Relations
The Rat and the Dog enjoy each other’s company and may become reasonably good friends. The Rat admires the loyal and trusting nature of the Dog, while the Dog enjoys the sociable and outgoing ways of the Rat. Together they may pass many a happy hour socializing and exchanging views.
When the Rat and Dog work together they may not always be in full agreement but they may still benefit from each other’s individual strengths. The Dog is not as materialistic as the Rat and the Dog may feel uneasy with the Rat’s opportunistic ways. Similarly the thrifty Rat may despair of the Dog’s spendthrift tendency. However, if they can reconcile their differences, the Dog can gain from the Rat’s confident and enterprising nature, while the Dog can bring order, method and discipline to the Rat’s ways of working.
In Love and Marriage
The Rat and Dog both possess qualities that the other admires and in love and marriage they can form a satisfactory relationship. The Rat greatly admires СКАЧАТЬ
