Rat & Pig Compatibility
Overview
The Rat-Pig match scores 72 out of 100, grade 'Great'.
The signs meet as Same Element by element, and no marked harmony or clash by branch - that is what produced this score.
The two temperaments
Those born in the Year of the Rat read a situation fast and step out of losing positions before they form. Pig years take people in without sorting them first.
What the Rat brings to a relationship: they name what is urgent with precision, so nothing spins in place while they are around. What the Pig brings: they offer a place to rest and do not turn away over small things.

Five Elements Relationship
Rat and Pig share the same element (Water), a "same element" (比和) relationship.
Your tastes and rhythms are similar, which brings comfort easily — but when similar traits clash, it can turn into a battle of pride, so it helps to give a little ground on both sides.
The two signs carry opposite polarity. Roles divide naturally - one pushes, the other steadies - so long stretches together tend not to exhaust you.
Zodiac Branch Relationship
There is no marked harmony or clash between the two signs. First impressions are not dramatic, which lets you get to know each other without preconceptions - the time you put in becomes the density of the relationship.
What you are to each other
From the Rat side, Pig reads as the Ten God 'Rival'; from the Pig side, Rat reads as 'Rival'. You feel like easy, understanding friends, but be considerate about a quiet tug-of-war over who's in charge.
What passes between you
What the first wants is simple: a place where they need not weigh everything - somewhere it is safe to drop their guard. What the second wants: to be noticed - even when what they gave does not come back.
The friction, if it comes, starts here - because calculation arrives before feeling, they can seem slow to warm up. And on the other side: unable to refuse, they take on too much and burn out alone.
Making this pairing last
The practical move is a trade: what the first needs (a place where they need not weigh everything - somewhere it is safe to drop their guard) is close to what the second is already good at giving, and the reverse holds too. Name that out loud once, and most of the friction above stops repeating.
