Rabbits may have a tendency to be too emotional and superficial. They avoid conflicts and are afraid of becoming deeply involved in a relationship. Rabbits are conservative and careful in their actions, and they do not like taking risks, which makes them excellent business people. Other suitable professions are lawyer, diplomat or actor. The best match for a Rabbit is the Goat or the Pig, but they can encounter trouble with Roosters.

    Dragon
    Year of birth: 1916, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000

Snakes tend to listen to their intuition and make a lot of money, but also try to be thrifty. Best professions are teacher, philosopher, writer or psychiatrist. The most compatible matches for Snakes are the Rooster or the Ox. Pigs are not ideal partners for Snakes.

    Horse
    Year of birth: 1918, 1930, 1942, 1954,1966, 1978, 1990, 2002
    Horses are hard-working, intelligent, friendly, positive and popular, but impatient.

The best companions for Horses are Tigers or Dogs, but not Rats.

    Goat
    Year of birth: 1919, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003
    People born in the year of the Goat are creative, artistic, passionate, elegant, warm-hearted, charming and honest. On the flip side they can also be pessimistic, shy, unorganized and fragile. They are easy-going, easy to complain and susceptible to stress, but also good problem solvers. The best occupations for Goats are actor and gardener. The most compatible partner for a Goat is either the Rabbit or the Pig, but not the Ox.

    Monkey
    Year of birth: 1920, 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004
    Monkey people are intelligent, resourceful and entertaining, but also unpredictable and easily discouraged. Thanks to their extraordinary and magnetic personalities, Monkeys have a large circle of friends and they are well-liked by everyone. But are they reliable? Monkeys can sometimes be opportunistic and distrusting of others. Monkeys can succeed in any profession. The best partners for Monkeys are the Dragon or the Rat. Tigers should be avoided.

    Rooster
    Year of birth: 1921, 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005
    People born in the year of the Rooster are hard-working, courageous, smart, arrogant, reckless, egoistic and eccentric. They have a hunger for knowledge, are enthusiastic about their work and are strong decision-makers. Roosters are skillful in their work and attentive to details, so much so that they can be considered boastful by others. The best professions for Roosters are restaurant manager, writer, soldier or world-traveler. The best partners for Roosters are either the Ox or the Snake, but Rabbits can bring trouble.

    Dog
    Year of birth: 1922, 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994
    Dogs are calm, intelligent, honest, generous, persistent, loyal and true to those they hold dear. Dogs are good listeners, enthusiastic, but also cynical and they can easily be overcome by anxiety. Dogs are constant worriers, are sharp-tongued and have a tendency to find flaws in everything, which makes life sometimes hard for Dogs. But, Dogs are successful people by birthright. Dogs make excellent business people, activists, teachers and even secret agents. The most compatible partners for Dogs are the Tiger or the Horse, but they should keep their guard when dealing with Dragons.

    Pig
    Year of birth: 1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995
    People born in the year of the Pig are generally honest, reliable, devoted, tolerant, shy, affectionate, kind and impulsive, but they have a short fuse! Pigs make the perfect partners and are intellectual and very persistent when trying to reach a goal. On the other hand, they can be very naive. Pigs have a hunger for knowledge that helps pave their way to success, but their materialistic ambitions often make them frustrated. Pigs can devote entire their lives to a good cause. Pigs are successful in the fields of finance, entertainment or law. Goats, Rabbits and other Pigs make the best partners for people born under the Pig sign.
