Chinese Zodiac Compatibility Chart: Best Matches, Harmonies and Conflicts
This Chinese zodiac compatibility chart compares the 12 animal signs through several traditional layers: Three Harmonies, Six Harmonies, and Six Conflicts.
Use it as a cultural reading guide, not a fixed relationship verdict. A “good match” does not guarantee a perfect relationship, and a conflict pair does not mean two people cannot understand each other.
Chinese zodiac compatibility chart quick view

Start with your animal sign, then read the harmony and conflict columns as symbolic relationship patterns. They describe tendencies in traditional zodiac language, not guaranteed outcomes.
Best matches by zodiac sign
In a simplified compatibility chart, “best matches” usually include the Six Harmony partner and the signs in the same Three Harmony group. That gives each sign one close pair and two wider group matches.
| Zeichen | Close harmony match | Three Harmony matches | Careful reading |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ratte | Ochse | Dragon, Monkey | Strategy works well with steadiness, scale, and agile problem-solving. |
| Ochse | Ratte | Snake, Rooster | Reliability works well with perception, patience, and clear standards. |
| Tiger | Schwein | Horse, Dog | Courage works well with warmth, movement, loyalty, and sincere support. |
| Kaninchen | Hund | Goat, Pig | Tact works well with loyalty, care, emotional softness, and comfort. |
| Drache | Hahn | Rat, Monkey | Vision works well with standards, quick thinking, and lively momentum. |
| Schlange | Affe | Ox, Rooster | Insight works well with wit, patience, reliability, and precision. |
| Pferd | Ziege | Tiger, Dog | Movement works well with care, courage, loyalty, and emotional grounding. |
| Ziege | Pferd | Rabbit, Pig | Sensitivity works well with movement, gentleness, warmth, and shared comfort. |
| Affe | Schlange | Rat, Dragon | Wit works well with insight, strategy, ambition, and flexible action. |
| Hahn | Drache | Ox, Snake | Clarity works well with vision, steadiness, standards, and discernment. |
| Hund | Kaninchen | Tiger, Horse | Loyalty works well with tact, courage, movement, and honest support. |
| Schwein | Tiger | Rabbit, Goat | Warmth works well with courage, gentleness, softness, and emotional ease. |
Three Harmony groups
The Three Harmonies, or 三合 sānhé, are four groups of three signs. In compatibility charts, they are usually read as broad supportive groups rather than one-to-one romantic guarantees.
| Group | Schilder | Shared symbolic rhythm |
|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | Ratte · Drache · Affe | Strategy, ambition, quick movement, and clever adaptation. |
| Group 2 | Ochse · Schlange · Hahn | Reliability, perception, discipline, and careful progress. |
| Group 3 | Tiger · Pferd · Hund | Courage, action, loyalty, and direct emotional support. |
| Group 4 | Kaninchen · Ziege · Schwein | Care, gentleness, emotional ease, and a softer life rhythm. |

Six Harmony pairs
The Six Harmonies, or Liuhe liùhé, are six one-to-one pairings. They are often read as close complementary matches.
Quick strategy meets steady reliability.
Courage meets warmth and openness.
Tact meets loyalty and protection.
Vision meets standards and refinement.
Insight meets wit and adaptation.
Movement meets care and emotional grounding.

Six Conflict pairs
The Six Conflicts, or Liuchong liùchōng, are tension pairs. They can be challenging, but they should not be treated as automatic failure.
| Conflict pair | Common tension | Careful reading |
|---|---|---|
| Ratte · Pferd | Private strategy vs open movement. | Different pacing needs clearer communication. |
| Ochse · Ziege | Practical structure vs emotional nuance. | Duty and softness both need respect. |
| Tiger · Affe | Direct force vs clever flexibility. | Confidence and wit need trust. |
| Hase · Hahn | Gentle tact vs sharp standards. | Honesty must stay kind and specific. |
| Drache · Hund | Big vision vs guarded loyalty. | Trust and ambition need translation. |
| Schlange · Schwein | Privacy vs openness. | Boundaries and sincerity both matter. |

How to read a compatibility chart carefully
A Chinese zodiac compatibility chart is most useful when it gives you language for relationship rhythm. It becomes less useful when it is treated as a prediction or a rule.
- Use harmony signs as possible ease. They may suggest shared rhythm, support, or complementary movement.
- Use conflict signs as possible friction. They may suggest where two people need more explanation and patience.
- Do not ignore real behavior. Trust, honesty, maturity, boundaries, and repair matter more than any sign label.
- Separate love, marriage, friendship, family, and work. The same pair can feel different in different relationship contexts.

Häufig gestellte Fragen
Welches ist das beste Paar nach dem chinesischen Tierkreis?
There is no single best match for everyone. In common zodiac compatibility charts, a sign’s Six Harmony partner and Three Harmony group are usually treated as strong matches.
Welches ist das harmonischste Paar im chinesischen Tierkreis?
Sechs Harmoniepaare werden oft als besonders gut zueinander passende Kombinationen angesehen, darunter Ratte-Ochse, Tiger-Schwein, Hase-Hund, Drache-Hahn, Schlange-Affe und Pferd-Ziege.
Welche chinesischen Tierkreiszeichen passen am wenigsten zueinander?
Die sechs Konfliktpaare werden oft als schwierig angesehen: Ratte-Pferd, Ochse-Ziege, Tiger-Affe, Hase-Hahn, Drache-Hund und Schlange-Schwein. Sie stehen für Spannungen, nicht für ein garantiertes Scheitern.
Sind drei Harmonien besser als sechs Harmonien?
Es handelt sich um unterschiedliche Systeme. Bei den „Drei Harmonien“ handelt es sich um Gruppen aus jeweils drei Zeichen, während die „Sechs Harmonien“ aus Eins-zu-Eins-Paaren bestehen.
Können Menschen mit unvereinbaren Sternzeichen trotzdem zusammen sein?
Ja. Anzeichen für Konflikte erfordern vielleicht mehr Kommunikation und Anpassungsbereitschaft, aber echte Beziehungen hängen von Verhalten, Vertrauen, Werten und dem richtigen Zeitpunkt ab.
Should I use this chart for marriage decisions?
No. This chart is a cultural reference. It should not replace real communication, personal judgment, family context, or professional advice when needed.
