Scored from the classical Chinese relations — San He, Liu He, Chong and Hai — not from Western sun-sign logic. A full Chinese reading also weighs the year element, the month branch and the hour pillar.

The verdict

A Rat wants a co-conspirator: someone to think aloud with at one in the morning, in the water hour that belongs to Zi, about money, exits and what might go wrong. A Rabbit wants a house where nothing is raised — dawn quiet, good food, no voice louder than the room requires. Those two wants are not enemies, but they are not the same shape either, and neither is satisfied by the other being satisfied. Only late does the classical grid matter, and then only by its silence: Mao and Zi make no six-harmony pair, sit in different trines, and stand on neither the clash nor the harm axis. Nothing is pushing you together after a bad week.

What works

  • Rabbit's instinct for atmosphere gives the Rat's hoarding a household actually worth defending
  • Rat handles the landlord, the invoice and the awkward call a Rabbit would leave sealed for a fortnight
  • Both read a room in seconds, so parties, in-laws and difficult guests need no strategy meeting

Where it strains

  • Rat wants every contingency talked through; Rabbit hears the appetite for contingency as a rehearsal for leaving
  • Rabbit retreats to protect the peace, and a Rat interprets a closed door as a decision already taken
  • Two animals this good at storing things will store a grievance just as neatly, and for just as long

The one thing to get right

Once a month say the want out loud — Rat, what you are saving towards; Rabbit, what quiet you are missing — because with no trine underneath you, nothing surfaces these on your behalf.
