Zodiac Chinese Astrology Matches for Oxen
What zodiac signs would be a good couple with an Ox? Zodiac Chinese compatibility and love compatibility charts say that their best matches are with Snakes, Roosters, and Rats and they have the least amount of compatibility with Sheep, Dragons, and Horses.
Ox and Snake Matches
One of the best matches for Oxen are Snakes. Snakes value relationships with people who are honest and trustworthy, and the reliable Ox is somebody they can count on. Oxen may be less expressive of their personal feelings than Snakes are, but the fact they stick around and go out of their way to do all they can for you says more than the words “I love you” ever could. Both the Ox and the Snake value material stability and these two work together as a team to create a comfortable homelife and a secure future. Snakes provide emotional support Oxen appreciate and Oxen have strong shoulders Snakes can lean on. A great pair!
Ox and Rooster Love Compatibility
This relationship makes for a nice balance for both partners. Roosters are more outgoing, and charming, and Oxen are attracted to the natural inner beauty and charisma Roosters have. Both Roosters and Oxen value honesty and trust, and value one another for their truthfulness and trustworthiness. They both devote themselves to their relationships and Roosters are hardworking like Oxen. They make a great team as friends and co-workers, but as lovers and life partners, theirs is a match their friends will envy, and they can be together for life.
Rat and Ox Soulmate Matches
As charming as Roosters, Rats are also hard working and ambitious, all traits Oxen admire. Rats are also good with finance, wisely saving money and Rats are very focused on the people they love. Rats are very devoted and go out of their way to be generous with the people they care about. All of these traits make the stable Ox trust their Rat, and Rats appreciate Oxen’s loyalty, dedication and hard work. This is a power couple who build a wonderful life together
Ox and Sheep Matches
Sheep are one of the worst matches for Oxen. Sheep are more self-indulgent and impractical than Oxen can stomach, and fights over lifestyle and finance ensue. It’s not that Sheep are messy, unreliable people, it’s just that Sheep are more interested in living in the present than planning for the future and they are very sensitive. The quiet Ox can hurt their feelings by not communicating much, and this couple will have a lot of struggles if they insist on being together.
Dragon and Ox Love Matches
The more reserved Ox can be overwhelmed by the Dragon’s take charge attitude and shrink away from the high energy Dragon. Dragons are risk takers and are unafraid to bite off more than they can chew. Their attitude can put their more conservative Ox off. Both signs are stubborn and won’t want to be flexible with one another. This match can create a lot of conflict, and neither of them wants to listen to disagreement about how they choose to do things. They can’t always work things out.
Horse and Ox Compatibility
Passionate Horses value their freedom and love to socialize. Oxen are more focused on careful planning and can see the Horse as a frivolous, unorganized individual who they want to reign in. The Horse thinks Oxen should relax and have more fun, and they can literally butt heads about finance, responsibilities, and planning things together. These two are often better off matching with other people.
Despite the difficulties Ox people can have with Horses, Dragons, and Sheep, it is still possible to get along. Oxen and their lovers can compromise and adapt to one another to get through conflicts, and while it might not be considered their ideal match, if they are truly in love, they can work things out if they really want to!
