Who the Dragon matches
Rat, Monkey, Rooster sit in the easy positions — same triad or six-harmony, where the effort pulls one way. Dog is the demanding side. That is a name for the branch relation, not a verdict on a relationship.
One sign at a time
Dragon and Rat compatibility
A broad vision informed by observation
Dragon and Rat share the Water triad with Monkey. Scope and resourcefulness are the shared-work themes. If an observation becomes a larger project, agree on its purpose and who owns completion instead of assuming that both people enjoy the same parts.
members of the same traditional triad
Dragon and Ox compatibility
An expanding vision and a settled commitment
Dragon’s ambition meets Ox’s steadiness. If you revise a plan after someone has committed resources to it, discuss the consequences before proceeding. An explicit scope gives both people a basis for assessing a change.
no formal relation between the branches
Dragon and Tiger compatibility
A large idea and a workable limit
Dragon and Tiger have no direct relation in the categories used here. Broad ambition and initiative give the reading an expansive image. For a joint undertaking, agree on the resources and limits needed to make the idea workable.
no formal relation between the branches
Dragon and Rabbit compatibility
Ambition with room for an objection
Dragon and Rabbit form a harm relation. The reading contrasts a large ambition with sensitivity to immediate conditions. Ask what pace and scope suit the other person; silence is not enough to establish their agreement.
a pairing traditionally classified as harm
Dragon and Dragon compatibility
Two broad visions and a shared measure
Two Dragon images emphasise scope and stored potential. If plans keep expanding, agree on what need the expansion serves and who can challenge it. An outside review may help, but neither person’s judgement is fixed by a birth-year sign.
the same earthly branch
Dragon and Snake compatibility
A broad proposal and a concentrated review
Dragon’s large-scale image meets Snake’s concentration. If you want someone’s assessment, ask while the proposal is still open to change. Neither a quiet manner nor a careful approach proves that they already know where the plan will fail.
no formal relation between the branches
Dragon and Horse compatibility
Scope and speed with a place for checking
Dragon’s ambition meets Horse’s movement. If both people are eager to advance a plan, agree on the checks required before a consequential step. Review is a responsibility to assign, not a personality flaw to outsource to someone labelled slow.
no formal relation between the branches
Dragon and Goat (Sheep) compatibility
A large plan and the support it requires
Dragon and Goat have no direct relation in the categories used here. Scope and care suggest different contributions to a project. Define support work and its owner explicitly; an apparently smooth arrangement may still need discussion of its workload.

Dragon and Monkey compatibility
A vision and an adaptable method
Dragon and Monkey share the Water triad with Rat. Scope and inventiveness give the pair a problem-solving theme. Check that a new method meets the agreed goal and include verification in the plan, without assuming an affinity guarantees speed or quality.

Dragon and Rooster compatibility
A broad idea and the detail that supports it
Dragon and Rooster form six harmony. The reading joins vision with precision. In joint work, agree on the purpose and scope of review so that refinement serves the task and does not become an unlimited judgement of each other.
a six-harmony pair in the traditional classification
Dragon and Dog compatibility
Expansion and the question of consequences
Dragon and Dog form a clash. The symbolic contrast is between enlarging a vision and protecting what matters. Ask which concerns have evidence behind them and what would address them, without treating caution as either disloyalty or automatic proof.
opposite branches, traditionally called a clash
Dragon and Pig (Boar) compatibility
Support at a size both people choose
Dragon’s broad ambition meets Pig’s openness. If you are planning something together, ask what the other person wants and can contribute before deciding its size. A supportive response does not establish an unlimited commitment.
