Chinese Zodiac Compatibility
Ox & Rat
牛 × 鼠 — a natural bond, Six Harmony in the classical zodiac layer.
A natural bond
Six Harmony
Your animals form one of the classical Six Combinations — an instinctive understanding that rarely needs explaining.
Ox (牛)
Earth · Yin
The Ox is the zodiac's steady engine — methodical, honest, and built for the long game. Trust is earned slowly and kept permanently.
Rat (鼠)
Water · Yang
Rats are sharp observers and natural opportunists. First in the zodiac cycle, they combine charm with a survivor's instinct and an eye for value others miss.
Beyond the zodiac score
The animal year is one of eight factors
This score comes from the classical Six Combinations / Three Harmonies / Six Clashes relationship between your two birth-year animals — the lightest layer of Chinese compatibility, and the only one that doesn't need your exact birth date. A full BaZi 合盤 (couple) reading also weighs both Day Masters, spouse-palace fit, element exchange, and timing — using your real charts, not just your zodiac years.
