Relationship type: Trine
The Ox and Rooster belong to the same trine (san he), a group of three animals four years apart that think alike. This is considered one of the luckiest pairings in Chinese astrology.
Elements: Earth and Metal
Earth (Ox) feeds Metal (Rooster) in the generating cycle, so one partner naturally nourishes the other.
Ox and Rooster in love
The Ox commits slowly but stays loyal for the long haul, while the Rooster shows love by organising and improving life together. This works best when the Ox gets stability, routine and honesty and the Rooster gets respect and appreciation for their effort.
Watch-outs
- The Ox's weak spot is stubborn silence when upset.
- The Rooster's weak spot is criticism that stings.
- Astrology is for fun; respect and communication matter most.
