Chinese Compatibility
Rat and Horse
Officially, the Rat and the Horse are opposite signs on the Chinese zodiac, although this does not mean the relationship is not compatible in Chinese horoscopes and in Chinese astrology. However, the relationship will be quite interesting as the Horse often needs plenty of independence and alone time, whereas the Rat enjoys being around friends and constant mental entertainment and stimulation.
When in a relationship as lovers, the Rat and Horse may find themselves in an intense relationship at first when they are dating and involved sexually, but this may not last long-term according to the Chinese zodiac. Rats, however, do enjoy the challenges and new adventures they will enjoy when with a Horse, as the Horse's nature causes unpredictable life events to occur on a regular basis. Business partners is an option when a Horse and Rat are doing so together. The Rat enjoys dreaming and being optimistic about future plans, whereas, the Horse does not think as much about the future and likes to work "in the now" by getting tasks and challenges completed.
