Chinese zodiac compatibility
In the Chinese zodiac the month is not decisive, what marks the change from one sign to another is the full moon, so the signs are based on the years. In addition, each sign can be determined by an element that explains their personality: there are five elements (metal, water, wood, fire, and earth).
The theory behind the Chinese zodiac compatibility depends on the personality of each animal and its ability to handle differences and create solid, stable and harmonious bonds.

Rat compatibility
Those born in the year of the Rat are competitive and dynamic, and they will find the perfect match next to the Monkey, the Dragon, and the Ox. On the other hand, the relationship finds too many blockages when it comes to the Tiger, the Horse, and the Rooster.
This is because the Rat and the Monkey share cleverness and intelligence, and also, the Monkey offers the Rat a blinding attraction, and the Rat, in return, offers the Monkey some ambition. They both find pleasure and success in business.
