Chinese Zodiac Compatibility

People born under each of the twelve animal signs of the Chinese zodiac have different personality traits that make them more compatible with some animals than others. In ancient China, this system for zodiac compatibility was an essential part of arranged marriages and matchmaking and even governed some aspects of the business world, such as when a third party with a compatible zodiac sign was invited to facilitate business negotiations between two incompatible zodiac signs. 

Compatibility usually occurs between animals separated by an even number of years, but not always. Couples with the same zodiac sign are considered viable because of all their similarities. They should know that they create an overabundance of a particular kind of energy because of their common qualities. Conflicts are expected between incompatible zodiac signs. Zodiac experts say that this does not mean that it is impossible to have a successful relationship. However, they recommend extra effort and awareness on the part of couples with incompatible zodiac signs.
