Compatibility
Best matches for the Rabbit: Pig, Sheep and Dragon
Rabbit and Pig
The Rabbit and the Pig are so well-suited to each other, they are a match made in heaven! The Pig is attracted by Rabbit’s intelligence and ability to negotiate their way out of trouble. The diplomatic Rabbit, on the other hand, will be grateful to have an obedient, devoted and loving partner such as the Pig. These two signs will be very happy together because they accept each other’s flaws and understand that conflicts are inevitable in a relationship.
Rabbit and Sheep
The Rabbit and the Sheep are sensitive to each other’s aspirations and needs. Their personalities truly complement each other – the Rabbit appreciates the Sheep’s kindness and considers her/him trustworthy and dependable enough to make important decisions for the both of them. Both signs want order, peace, balance, and harmony in their lives and can support each other during tough times. They are romantic and affectionate, so they will surely live a happy life together, as long as they’re not too dependent on each other.
Rabbit and Dragon
Both signs appreciate a supportive relationship and even though they have different personalities, one partner’s positive characteristics complement the other partner’s flaws. Even though the Dragon is powerful and highly assertive, he/she will allow the Rabbit to take on the dominant role in their relationship. This is a good union because their personalities complement each other and both signs can offer each other a sense of support, security, and comfort.
Worst matches for the Rabbit: Rat, Tiger and Horse
Rabbit and Rat
This is one of the worst matches for those born in the year of the Rabbit. The Rat is possessive and jealous while the Rabbit is passive and won’t put enough effort into their relationship. The Rabbit is gentle, timid and prefers to stay at his/her comfortable home, and the Rat is sociable and active. They have some similarities though, such as they both like to spend time with their family and they both set realistic goals in life. If they work really hard, these two can be a good match.
Rabbit and Tiger
The Rabbit is sensitive, gentle, quiet, and the Tiger is a loud and daring person who can’t stand emotional characters. However, the Rabbit also doesn’t appreciate Tiger’s spontaneity, so it will take a lot of effort if these two decide to make their relationship work. The Rabbit will let the Tiger be the more dominant partner in the relationship, which is pleasing for the passionate Tiger who likes to be in charge.
Rabbit and Horse
The Rabbit is conservative and sensitive, and the Horse is hasty and fickle, so both signs may find each other unacceptable and intolerable. Both of them are too self-absorbed and they don’t take the time and effort to make their relationship work. Even though the Horse is dedicated, caring, and capable of providing for the family, he/she will often get annoyed to have the Rabbit partner put all the responsibility entirely on him/her. If they want their relationship to succeed, the Rabbit must learn to be an independent person.
