The signs have an average compatibility – they do not always accept each other. But if the Rooster and the Tiger strive for a common goal, it is much easier for them. In such a pair, the Tiger is often silent and hides his feelings, the Rooster is the opposite. Therefore, there are misunderstandings and quarrels.

Rooster-Rabbit

It is difficult for the soft and fluffy Rabbit to understand why the Rooster makes mistakes so often and is not afraid to be impulsive. Misunderstanding also reigns in the couple – partners cannot find an approach to each other, sometimes they cross personal boundaries.

Both the Monkey and the Rooster are prone to impulsiveness. That’s just the Rooster knows how to admit his mistakes, and the Monkey – not always. She can argue to the last, afraid to leave the Rooster alone with her thoughts. Despite frequent quarrels and jealousy, the characters of these two signs are similar – they can be happy in a couple.

Rooster Rooster

There are too many conflicts and quarrels in a couple, a man and a woman do not make concessions and often break down over trifles.

Theoretically, they can be together, but such a union requires nerves of steel from both.

Rooster-Dog

The Dog and the Rooster often agree on only one thing – both signs simply love criticism. Only the Dog, in addition to harsh words, wants to change the freedom-loving Rooster.
