Love Compatibility: What Chinese Zodiac Sign Is Your Soul Match?

Chinese zodiac love compatibility works very similarly to Western astrology love compatibility, through the matching of zodiac signs.

The exception is that zodiac signs are calculated a little differently in Chinese astrology and are symbolized by animals rather than star constellations. So today we are going to sort that out a little bit.

What is your Chinese zodiac sign? And, since we are talking about love compatibility today, who is your best Chinese zodiac match? Let′s have a look!

 

What is your Chinese zodiac sign?

Before we talk about where your Chinese zodiac loves compatibility buzzer dings off the hook, let′s have a look at what your Chinese zodiac sign is, to begin with.

Now a word of caution. Chinese zodiac love compatibility works the same as your star sign love compatibility. It is but a tool, and not a guide engraved in stone on your love destiny.

You may not have a high love compatibility meter in star sign love compatibility, and think your match is doomed. Only to find out that Chinese zodiac love compatibility tells you something completely different.

Each of these systems is but a tool. Use them as guides and for entertainment only, and don′t make life-changing decisions because all of a sudden you found out your partner is a rat. A rat in Chinese astrology is a good thing!

What is your Chinese Zodiac Love Compatibility?

• Year of the Rat:

If you were born in the year of the rat, your life has embodied the skills and qualities of the rat. You go in and out of long-term relationships but you are ambitious and nothing will stop you.

Your best match is a fellow rat, or an equally stubborn ox or pig. You can make it work with those born in the year of the tiger, monkey, or dragon, but you will find your relationship experiences challenges with those born in the year of the rooster, goat, or snake.

 

• Year of the Ox:

If you were born in the year of the ox, you are a bit of a loner but you are also the slow and steady type. You like commitments and don′t mind waiting for them. Anyone born in the year of the monkey, rat, or snake will light your fire.

You may have challenges with a rabbit, rooster, or fellow ox, but you make it work. The year of the pig, dog, and dragon may seem impossible to you but you are committed to figuring it out together.

You are best to stay away from the horse or the tiger unless you have love compatibility in other areas, or don′t mind picking up the speed in life with them on occasion.

 

Year of the Tiger:

Like any tiger, you are caring but aggressive and you go after what you want. You prefer to mate for life too. You are great matches to anyone born in the year of the pig, horse, or dog, but you will find challenges with the snake, rat, and dragon.

Fellow Tigers also are a little too much even for you, but you may find a way to have peace in the kingdom if you work it out and take turns being the leader.
