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

Legend states that the animals that are spaced four years apart from each other get along best. However, the signs that are six years apart are considered incompatible and may face significant challenges in relationships. Our compatibility table reveals who each sign has the potential to live happily ever after with. While zodiac signs are a key factor in Chinese astrology, compatibility also takes into account the five elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water) and even the exact time and place of birth of each partner. This comprehensive approach provides a deeper understanding of relationship dynamics.

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 could be a recipe for disaster. There are different degrees of compatibility between the animals of the zodiac. Those on opposite sides of the circle tend to experience more conflict. Chinese astrology determines several groups that correspond to harmonious or conflicting relationships.
