Chinese Love Horoscope For The Year of the Rabbit

Those born in the year of the Rabbit: 1915, 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011

Who could be more charming than the Rabbit? Ever ready with a compliment and articulate to boot, this is someone who is always pleasant and cheering to be around. Their politeness will be legendary to those who know them. Lurking beneath this exterior however, is a much more complex nature and the Rabbit will always be assessing and analysing situations, looking for both a way to make the most of it and for any potential dangers. The Rabbit can be very cautious. But this is someone who cannot resist the good life and will always be smart and stylish, drawn to luxury and smart business ventures.

Who will satisfy the critical eye of the Rabbit and who will come out wanting??

Rabbit with Rabbit = GOOD!
Rabbits do not like to lose their cool and so will do anything to avoid confrontation. This makes another Rabbit an attractive prospect for love. They are both also instinctive in nature and so will have a good understanding of what is going on with the other.

Rabbit with Rat = GOOD!
The Rabbit and Rat have social charms & graces in common and so will naturally gravitate towards one another. In fact they may often be introduced to each other by friends thinking they’d be a great match. They are certainly both keen observers of others and there is a danger they will turn this skill on one another if they do not keep it under tight control.

Rabbit with Ox = BAD
The Ox will not trust the Rabbit and the manipulative way in which he or she uses words to avoid getting too serious, always deflecting potential disagreements. The Rabbit will fail to understand that the Ox is not looking for a fight, but in fact just needs the facts to address the situation! They will rarely get past these differences.

Rabbit with Tiger = BAD
The Tiger is often the life and soul of the party which can be a little intimidating for the Rabbit who prefers work the room in a more cool and composed manner. They relate to others in completely different ways and so will often argue about who to socialise with and fail to agree on even the most basic viewpoints.

Rabbit with Dragon = GOOD!
Both the Rabbit and the Dragon value charisma and so will appreciate and understand one another in this area. Even though they may clash at times, they are both confident enough in their ability to communicate to work it through and come to a resolution.

Rabbit with Snake = MODERATE
It may appear that these two can get on well in the early days of a relationship. It will soon become apparent that this is more down to an avoidance of arguments then a sign of mutual admiration. They are likely to want to go their separate ways when the initial excitement dies down.

Rabbit with Horse = BAD
The Horse likes to act on feelings and will be prone to outbursts that the dignified Rabbit will not be able to handle. The Horse is also changeable which will defy the Rabbit’s desire to analyse and work people out!

Rabbit with Sheep = EXCELLENT!
Both lovers of luxury and the finer things in life, the Rabbit and the Sheep are meant to be. They will enjoy long conversations and will feel at home in the expressive and affectionate environment that they will create together. Tensions will be kept to a minimum and in this they will pride themselves.

Rabbit with Monkey = MODERATE
The Rabbit may think he or she has razor sharp perception but the Monkey will always be one step ahead - which could cause friction. But they can actually get on well if they let down their guard a little and let that natural humour they share come through.

Rabbit with Rooster = BAD
There will be a funny feeling that something is not quite right when these two first meet. The Rabbit will not warm to the Rooster’s tendency to take over, their confidence in themselves. The Rabbit walks away from trouble or disagreements which could be interpreted as weak by the Rooster.

Rabbit with Dog = GOOD!
This pair of potential lovers will hit it off from the start and rarely hit any major problems along the way. The Dog will put their trust in the Rabbit and the Rabbit will relax around the open, giving nature of the dog.

Rabbit with Boar = EXCELLENT!
Constantly assessing others as they are, the Rabbit can take it easy in the honest and trustworthy company of the Boar. They are both quite philosophical characters and so will enjoy throwing ideas around and being creative. It will be a colourful household when this pair team up!

Chinese Love Horoscope For The Year of the Tiger

Those born in the year of the Tiger: 1902, 1914, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010

The Tiger is a passionate and exciting character who loves to live life to the fullest. They thrive on passion and activity and hate to be still for long. Romance and affection are deeply important to the loving Tiger but this is in part down to them wanting to be centre of attention, courting others’ good opinion in all possible ways. The Tiger can be obstinate and ego-centric but while they can lose their tempers as a result, it is usually short-lived. Ultimately, this pussy cat is known for a softer side, often helping the needy and charming all who’ll listen!

So who will be able to cope with the fun-loving Tiger?

Tiger with Tiger = GOOD!
The Tiger is such a lover of fun as well as romance it would be hard for them not to be drawn to one another. As long as they can keep jealousy at bay when the inevitable flirting with others begins, this match will be fine.

Tiger with Rat = MODERATE
The Tiger may have a love of action, but does not share the Rat’s love of money. Therefore the Rat will find the Tiger to be aimless and flippant. If they can work at understanding each other more, there is hope that they can live side by side, but rarely blissfully.

Tiger with Ox = BAD
Both strong and commanding presences, but the Tiger will just not want to tolerate the Ox and his or her controlling ways. The Ox in return will find the Tiger too changeable and prone to acting without thinking through the consequences.

Tiger with Rabbit = MODERATE
The Tiger and the Rabbit see the world differently although they do not have any major gripes with one another. The Rabbit may be easily scared by the Tiger’s loud and boisterous behaviour and there could be emotional distance between them.

Tiger with Dragon = GOOD!
The Tiger and Dragon may well clash at the beginning. They will battle to shine in their environment and resent one another for being competition! But they can turn this into quite a double act if they can work together.

Tiger with Snake = BAD
The Tiger’s love of exuberance and liveliness will not impress the snake. Likewise, the snake will arouse suspicion in the Tiger, wondering what is going on behind the façade. They are unlikely to understand one another on any level.

Tiger with Horse = EXCELLENT!
These two will never run out of energy, feeding off one another and constantly looking for fun. Life in this household will be loud and busy! The quick wit of the horse will be appreciated by the Tiger whose charismatic manner will work a treat with the Horse.

Tiger with Sheep = GOOD!
The Sheep will love the popular Tiger and like to feel part of the limelight by association. The Tiger will take delight in showing off to the Sheep. They may find it difficult to take this relationship any deeper if they do not stay home and away from their busy social lives once in a while.

Tiger with Monkey = BAD
Not a good mix, these two are too different to be able to resolve their differences. The monkey will like to make the Tiger look foolish at every opportunity and this will enrage the image conscious Tiger. Best that they avoid one another!

Tiger with Rooster = GOOD!
Both the Tiger and the Rooster are not afraid to speak their mind and so can get on really well if they agree, but can also put each other’s nose out of joint when they argue. But their love of ideas can often be a thrill for both sides.

Tiger with Dog = EXCELLENT!
The Tiger and the Dog are both impulsive and so the ever-changing plans which would infuriate others will delight and thrill this pair. They will spend much of their time talking and laughing and putting the world to rights.

Tiger with Boar = GOOD!
The honest and sturdy Boar will be able to handle the excesses of the Tiger and in return the Tiger has the confidence to cope with the Boar’s upfront nature. They will be mutually supportive in a way that may surprise others, but there is real staying power here.

Chinese Love Horoscope For The Year of the Ox

Those born in the year of the Ox: 1901, 1913, 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009

The Ox is the one on whom you can always depend. Loyal, fair and protective, this is someone you will always be able to rely on even if you do not get big romantic gestures and declarations of love! The Ox is wary of emotions but shows affection by working hard and likes to provide for those he or she cares for. The Ox is also a fan of the traditional route so are certainly the marrying kind. Life with an Ox may not be exciting but they are prudent with money and will always look out for what’s best for you. Turn to the Ox for advice - they will always be methodical and calm in any situation.

Who is the ideal partner for the Ox?

Ox with Ox = MODERATE
The Ox may respect the hard working and solid characteristics of another Ox but may find that they are ultimately too reserved to create enough spark to keep a relationship going.

Ox with Rat = GOOD!
These two have a great understanding of one another. They both want to get somewhere in life but have different skills to offer often making them quite a force to be reckoned with. They are both dedicated to family matters and this common goal often binds them together for a lifetime.

Ox with Tiger = BAD
The Ox likes order, the Tiger likes to challenge the rules. While they are capable of recognising the strengths in one other, they will find that they thwart each other in their desires and goals. The Ox can build a lot of resentment, the Tiger will let it all out!

Ox with Rabbit = MODERATE
While both the Ox and the Rabbit will keep their feelings at bay during times of tension, there may not be enough spark in the relationship to keep the Rabbit interested. The Ox will prioritise saving and prudence which will not always be appreciated in this partnership.

Ox with Dragon = GOOD!
Both have a love of success and will do what is necessary to get there. The Dragon is naturally more flamboyant than the Ox, but this is rarely a problem. The Ox will be happy to stand back and not have to deal with anything as trivial as praise or attention.

Ox with Snake = EXCELLENT
The Ox and the Snake are independent creatures and will flourish in the space and respect they both allow one another. While both highly intelligent, the wily Snake will know just how to make the most of the Ox’s tendency to work until they drop. The Snake will make the Ox more efficient.

Ox with Horse = BAD
The popular and flighty horse is rarely understood by the plodding and rational Ox. Their understanding of how the world works is simply poles apart and they rarely agree on how to solve the most basic of problems. Anything more serious and tempers can flair.

Ox with Sheep = BAD
The Ox and the Sheep will never understand one another. The Sheep may at first be drawn to the Ox’s wealth but fail to understand the graft that has gone into acquiring it. This will infuriate the Ox no end who will retaliate by laying down rules - something the Sheep will not be able to tolerate!

Ox with Monkey = GOOD!
They may not appreciate one another at first but this has the potential to be a very mutually beneficial pairing. The monkey has wit and cunning on his or her side and the Ox could use this kind of creative energy to make the hard work go further.

Ox with Rooster = EXCELLENT!
This is a wonderful match and these two will find themselves naturally gravitating towards one another. While the Ox is normally shy of outgoing characters, the Rooster has all the same shared values and beliefs. Duty and honesty come first with this loved up couple!

Ox with Dog = GOOD!
The Ox may find the Dog too suggestible for its tastes but they can come together out of an appreciation of loyalty and a determination to do the right thing. If they can find that common ground, they will make a powerful team.

Ox with Boar = MODERATE
While there is little that separates these two in personality, there is nothing that they can really identify with either. The Ox prefers to understand what is going on around him or her at all times, in fact preferring understanding over emotions. For this reason, the Ox will often put up barriers to the boar.

Those born to the year of the Rat are as shrewd as they are charming. Never liking to be far from others, they feed off their energy and are always looking to both help them as well as searching for any opportunities that may come up! This is only because they have a love of money and security which will be used as much for their family and friends as themselves. But they HATE to see money spent carelessly.

The Rat is an emotional type who has a respect for others and what they say but will always tend to be forthright and honest in conversation. This may be treated with suspicion by those not used to such a direct approach but mostly because what the Rat says is usually scarily observant.

Wonderful and devoted parents, the Rat has a great love of family and it is not unusual to find them with many children. They will guide and support their offspring to do well in life but success will tend to measured in financial wealth.

So, who should the Rat fall in love with and who is to be avoided?!

Rat with Rat = GOOD!

Rat with Ox = GOOD!
The rat has ambition, the ox has perseverance and strength. These two can work together and make quite a pairing! As long as they recognise their roles and acknowledge what the other brings to the relationship they can live in blissful admiration on one another.

Rat with Tiger = MODERATE
The rat and the tiger will certainly have their differences and resentment may creep in if they are not careful to maintain respect and good relations. But they are both lively and creative in their thinking and so can find they have a lot in common if they are otherwise tolerant of each other.

Rat with Rabbit = GOOD!
The rat and the rabbit are born survivors. They will feed off each other’s energy and quick thinking and delight in finding someone with the same confidence and desire to achieve. Both like attention and to be around others so be careful that jealousy doesn’t rear its ugly head.

Rat with Dragon = EXCELLENT!

Rat with Horse = BAD
These two will not be able to agree on anything and will find that they clash constantly. The horse is lively but prone to changing direction in both ambition and goals. The rat will not be able to understand such a flippant attitude to life and will thwarted in their own aspirations.

They may find each other exciting to start with but the rat is likely to tire quickly of the sheep’s needy ways.

Rat with Monkey = EXCELLENT!
Keen and cunning, the monkey never misses an opportunity in life - and this is where it will meet and fall in love with its soul mate the rat. First eyeing up a chance and then eyeing up each other! These two will see each other reflected in each other’s eyes and the connection will be instant.

Rat with Rooster = BAD
Both the rat and the rooster love details. The trouble is, they will tend to use their skills of observance against one another! This has the potential to be an explosive relationship.

Rat with Dog = GOOD!
The rat and the dog can happily live side by side despite having different priorities in life. Although different, they often have similar aims and will enjoy what the achieve together.

What Are Chinese Love Horoscopes?

Chinese Love Horoscopes work with the principles of Chinese astrology. Looking at the year in which you were born compared to that of your heart’s desire, you can see whether your personalities, feelings, needs and destinies are compatible and whether happiness is possible for you.

Much like western astrology, Chinese astrology also has 12 different signs but instead of being divided by the month of your birth, it is the year in which you were born that is so important. Each year, on a 12 month cycle, gets associated with an animal which closely represents your personal characteristics. These are:

RAT
OX
TIGER
RABBIT
DRAGON
SNAKE
HORSE
SHEEP
MONKEY
ROOSTER
DOG
BOAR

So if someone has caught your eye, find out the year they were born. You will be able to see whether the Chinese love horoscope shows you to be compatible, what year is the best for you both to meet your future husband or wife and if these match up with one another ;)
