*  Page Contents  *

Rooster Husband and Rat Wife;

He is analytical and a perfectionist; she is stimulating, practical and quite brainy in her own right. He is bossy and dogmatic and prone to giving lectures. She is balky about criticism and can be sharp and petty when offended. He lacks the sensitivity and warmth she seeks in a mate. Her resourcefulness and competence make her unwilling to follow his orders blindly. Not a promising match for either party. They tend to agitate each other unnecessarily.

Rooster Husband and Ox Wife;

An excellent and lasting union for both. He is open, frank and brave and makes up for her reserve and restraint. He is also hard-working and serious enough for the Ox's love of dignity and prestige. His security-consciousness will certainly appeal to the steadfast and resolute Ox lady. In response to his sunny and optimistic ways, the Ox may become less undemonstrative and be prodded on to more achievements. She is likely to be the more prudent and down to earth of the two, and in spite of his noisy and competent discourse, the Rooster will love to lean on his strong and noble Ox wife. They will find each other responsible and dedicated.

Rooster Husband and Tiger Wife;

A turbulent and spicy marriage. Both are active and progressive souls but they have wide differences in their personalities. He is too egotistic and eccentric for the colorful Tiger lady and she is too much of a fighter to ever concede defeat in the face of his fastidious criticisms. Under a different circumstances, they may be energetic and diligent, but in this combination they may be stubborn and petty.

Back To Top

Rooster Husband and Rabbit Wife;

They are unlikely to ever find their ideal love in each other. Their personalities may clash strongly because both are vexed by each other's negative traits. He is outspoken, exacting and overzealous in his cutting criticism. She is an artistic and reticent intellectual who may be a bit self-indulgent and unwilling to work hard. When the industrious and ruthlessly efficient Rooster gets through with her, she may feel like a victim of the Inquisition. Needless to say, the Rabbit will be defiant and uncommunicative. The Rooster's lack of tact and indelicate ways are not intentional, but he cannot avoid hurting the Rabbit, who thrives on sympathy and consideration.

Back To Top

Rooster Husband and Dragon Wife;

An excellent and productive marriage combination. The Rooster is analytical and brainy and will be drawn to the bold and bright personality of the Dragon lady. She will immediately recognize his inherent worth and intellectual prowess. Together they can achieve success in their aspirations. She is purposeful and not easily conquered or frightened into submission by his bossy aggressiveness. She can and will be able to dismiss his loquaciousness with a shrug, as she is bound to have a few peculiarities of her own that he will have to bear. He finds her enthusiasm and energy boundless and exhilarating. She will not resent his running her affairs provided he looks upon her as an equal and respects her opinions.

Back To Top

Rooster Husband and Snake Wife;

The exuberant and intrepid Rooster man could brighten up the Snake's serious view of life and bolster her spirits as well. A prosperous union for both. They are both intellectuals but on different levels. She is serene, reflective and deliberate; he is overcharged with zeal and dauntless optimism. This union provides them with the opportunity to balance the scales and offset each other's excesses.

Back To Top

Rooster Husband and Horse Wife;

A smooth marriage is not indicated as these two strong-minded individuals are easily irritated by each other. He can be provocative and undiplomatic and will castigate her for her high living and lack of steadiness. But she is too sophisticated, witty and flamboyant to settle for the simple and hard-working life he has planned. The Rooster may have grandiose ideas but his methods are dependable and precise. In the opposite corner, the Horse may be more practical and realistic about her goals but she is unpredictable and inconsistent in her method of application. He cannot comprehend her changeable ways and she cannot abide his strict routine and obsession with facts and figures.

Back To Top

Rooster Husband and Sheep (Ram) Wife;

The tough-minded Rooster has the stamina to match his taste for work and perfection. The Sheep is kind hearted, emotional and dependent. He may patronize her need to cling to someone, but cannot be expected to put up with her self-pitying and indulgent ways. He can deal better with facts than with her tender feelings. She can understand his optimistic drive and ambitions, but may find him too cold, calculating and particular. She is genteel and easily hurt and could pack up and go home to Mama if he censures her too much or too often. The tolerance factor in this combination is very low.

Back To Top

Rooster Husband and Monkey Wife;

Most likely to result in a cool and defensive union unless both partners can alter their behavior suitably. The Monkey could have the annoying habit of grabbing what she wants and hanging on to it, oblivious of what others may feel. He is too rigorous and stringent to let her get away with this. She is not amused, on the other hand, by his skillful and parsimonious ways, nor impressed with his gift for oratory and debate. She possesses equal powers of rhetoric and will provoke him to anger. They tend to rub each other the wrong way. The will only cooperate when the inducement to do so is irresistible.

Back To Top

Rooster Husband and Rooster Wife;

Both are virtuous personalities but this match could provoke an unhealthy "holier than thou" attitude between these contenders. They are both peevish and often obsessed with their own views and will not pay much heed to the opinions of the other. However, these two are also duty-oriented and have conscientious and responsible natures. Who knows, they may be able to relinquish some of their demanding ways to achieve common goals. Then again, both are argumentative and opinionated, and there may be endless discussions before they sign the Peace Treaty or agree to call a truce.

Back To Top

Rooster Husband and Dog Wife

No doubt both parties here have fine minds, value their integrity and are proud of themselves. However, in spite of their self-assurance and poise, they are also very outspoken. If the Rooster starts to nag and grumble about the Dog's frailties, she could respond by throwing harmony out the window and giving him some scalding rhetoric of her own. Both parties have sharp tongues and could hurt each other quite painfully. A workable relationship only if one of them is unselfish and sensible enough to entice the other to lay down arms.

Back To Top

Rooster Husband and Boar (Pig) Wife;

The Boar is trusting and easygoing. She accepts things at face value and will politely skim the surface instead of offending others. The Rooster makes pointed accusations; he is the unrelenting private eye who has to get to the root of the problem even if it means upsetting everyone's apple cart in the process. The Boar is an independent thinker but is always receptive to suggestions, while he is observant about every detail. She would love to take his advice if only he could put a little sugar on it. She is prone to being naive and easily imposed on by others. She may have need of his sharp faculties. This could be the one common denominator of their marriage.
