Chinese zodiac compatibility - Which animals make the perfect match? 💑

Legend states that the animals that are spaced four years apart from each other get on best. However, the signs that are six years apart are completely incompatible and don't stand a chance. Our compatibility table reveals who each sign has the potential to live happily ever after with. Zodiac signs are just one facet of compatibility in the Chinese zodiac, which can almost be considered an entire discipline. Indeed, in addition to calculating compatibility based on the zodiac animals, you also need to take other factors into account. The most comprehensive examination of compatibility is made by integrating the theory of the five elements, as well as the time, date and even exact place of birth of each partner.

Astrologist Susan Taylor's insights:

'In ancient times, people relied on the compatibility matches of the Chinese zodiac and often used it as a reference before starting a romantic relationship. Even today, some people still consider this reference before starting anything serious.'

Chinese love compatibility by group - Which animal is made for you? 👫

No matter how attracted you are to someone, if your energies don't blend well and the stars aren't aligned, it'll be a recipe for disaster. There are different degrees of compatibility between the animals of the zodiac. Those on the opposite side of the circle are more conflictual. Chinese astrology thus determines several groups corresponding to harmonious or conflicting situations.
