A wonderful union. The Rabbit deals with domestic issues, and the Horse provides financial support for the couple.

Blazing Compatibility. The selfish Horse and the attention-hungry Dragon. Despite frequent disputes and quarrels, they will be able to maintain a relationship thanks to strong feelings.

A difficult union. It will be difficult for these two signs to cope with the onslaught of each other. The horse has a freedom-loving disposition and does not tolerate unsolicited advice, and the Ox is used to dominating a partner.
