Consider the prospect of a loving, friendly, working relationship using the example of the Ox and the Rat.
Character features
People born in the year of the Ox are distinguished by high intelligence, practicality, light commercialism. They know how to make money and may seem stingy to some, but this is not at all the case - Bulls work solely for the sake of increasing the well-being of the family and for their soulmate and children they do not feel sorry for either time or effort. The representative of this sign is devoted to his family and loyal to the chosen one.
Bulls often look solid, it is common for them to always follow the rules and use good manners in society. They are stubborn, stubborn, somewhat conservative and very hardworking. To achieve the goal, this person can work several nights in a row, however, earnings are important for him, and the Ox is not interested in raising the career ladder. This is not the person who becomes a leader in the team, and indeed, the Bull always prefers to remain in the shadows and is in no hurry to attract the attention of others.
Of the minuses of the character, one can note the denial of everything new. For example, solving the problem, the Ox will follow the traditional path, rejecting modern methods of solving... Undoubtedly, he will achieve success, although he could have coped with a faster and simpler alternative way.In relations with the opposite sex, the representatives of this sign lack romance, and in general they are guided in everything by reason, and not by feelings.
The Rat, unlike the Bull, is seen in society as more charming. She knows how to be the soul of the company and the ringleader. She is united with the Bull by purposefulness, but if he goes to the goal in accordance with the rules, then the Rat takes the peaks by cunning and tries to find easy ways in everything. These are very energetic people, they have developed communication and organizational skills, however, very often the Rat's sociability pursues mercantile goals - it tries to have as many useful connections as possible in different spheres of life.
The qualities similar to the Bull are practicality, thriftiness, preference for reason over feelings. In the professional field, the Rat prefers to work with his head, not his hands. Rats are skillful manipulators, egoism is inherent in them by nature, it is common for them to seek profit in everything and spread gossip. And if the Bull has thrift, then in the Rat this quality flows into pathological stinginess and a passion for hoarding.
Friendship compatibility
Both the Ox and the Rat know how to be good friends, but their views on friendship are different. For example, for the Ox, strong reliable relationships are important, and the Rat is more interested in short-term friendships... All Rat's friends are more like acquaintances with whom it is interesting to spend time, but they will not be able to lend their shoulders, like the Ox's friends.
Therefore, friendship rarely develops between these two signs, their communication either ends quickly, or develops into a romance.
Work relationships
If friendship between them is impossible, then the working relationship can develop very successful. Usually in this tandem, the Bull becomes the leader. He will perfectly build management, and his nimble colleague will become a generator of new ideas.
The Bull will carefully think over all the moves suggested by the Rat, direct her enthusiasm in the right direction, not allowing her to be involved in unprofitable projects out of curiosity and thirst for profit.
Love relationship
The Ox and the Rat are connected by a sense of reality, they do not hang in the clouds, do not waste time on useless romance, they look at things soberly. The bull in a pair becomes the bearer of stability and confidence in the future, and the Rat opens up new perspectives for its partner and looks for alternative ways to solve existing problems. This union can be quite happy in love, since both are not afraid of difficulties.
You cannot call any of them a pronounced leader. From the outside, it seems that the Bull takes the leading role, in fact, the Rat knows how to control the actions of its chosen one and adjust everything in the way that suits it. The bull is too honest and straightforward to see in his beloved an intriguer and manipulator.
The rat, seeing the nobility of the partner, tries to play dirty tricks as little as possible, it feels that it is in a safe rear and without its own intrigues.
Despite the lack of romance, the relationship between the Rat and the Bull cannot be called completely stingy. The bull is the personification of reliability, the Rat is the generator of emotions and temperament. The eccentric ideas that come to mind of an energetic Rat can always satisfy a loving Ox, so both feel comfortable in union with each other. A conflict can arise if the Rat is too addicted to manipulation, and the Bull continues to get hung up on boring conservative thoughts.
The Ox woman is looking for a reliable life partner, and the Rat man may well become one. True, this young man will have to largely adapt to his serious chosen one, but thanks to the ability to adapt to any conditions, the Rat man will succeed. The Ox woman will not be stingy with words of admiration for her beloved, but this will flatter the Rat. It is important for a man to remember that it is impossible to openly try to control his woman.Noticing how her actions are controlled, the Ox woman can react with a scandal to these attempts of her partner.
Usually the leader in this pair is a lady, she tries to re-educate her frivolous hero, and the Rat skillfully pretends that she succeeds. To keep the relationship, the Rat man should criticize the vulnerable lover born in the year of the Ox as little as possible.
The union of the Ox man and the Rat woman is even more harmonious. The rat knows what her chosen one needs, and tries to satisfy his needs, especially since they are not so high: the manifestation on the part of the partner of care, tenderness, maintaining order in the house. The Wise Ox will work as long as his beloved wants. It is not difficult for him to fulfill his professional duties, if this is followed by earnings, thanks to which his Rat woman will be able to realize herself. In the event of a quarrel, an apology comes from the dodgy Rat, the Ox will not go first to reconciliation - and in such a situation, both will again feel harmony.
The disadvantages of the union include the stubbornness of the Bull, who is not ready to change for the sake of his beloved. Also, a problem may arise from the side of the amorous Rat, which sometimes can betray the chosen one.
Marriage
The marriage relationship between the Rat man and the Ox woman has good prospects. Both are in no hurry to tie the knot, but try to enjoy life until a certain age. This approach to creating a family unites the Rat and the Ox and makes their future marriage strong.
The Bull wife becomes an excellent housewife and a good mother. Her husband, born in the Year of the Rat, has to earn money, and for the sake of his family, he may even get several jobs. Both do not possess extravagance, so there will always be material wealth in such a family. True, sometimes the spouse is too stingy. If he spends money on something, then these are always high quality things.
In a pair, husband Ox and wife Rat, the head of the family again becomes the breadwinner. This union will also always live in abundance, since the spouse knows how to earn, and his chosen one knows how to save. The sly Rat always tries to create a feeling of warmth and comfort in the house so that her tired husband returns home with pleasure. She is a good mother, and in this couple, both parents will spend a lot of time with their children.
Quarrels can arise from a lack of sensuality in a marital relationship. Both need at least occasionally show a romantic impulse in order to further strengthen the marriage union. In addition, the husband in this pair needs to be more sensitive towards his wife, who loves attention very much.
Intimate life
Bulls and Rats have excellent bed compatibility. They both are not against experimentation, and intimate disagreements rarely arise. The most outspoken ideas often belong to the Rat, but the energy and temperament of the Bull are able to satisfy any of her desires. They both know that their partner loves most of all, and are ready not only to have pleasure, but also to give it to their beloved.
The Bull, insensitive in life, expresses its emotions in bed, the Rat, restrained in everyday life, also reveals itself in sex to its partner, so intimacy often becomes a solution to conflict situations.
