Rooster & Ox Compatibility

The Rooster-Ox match scores 94 out of 100, grade 'Excellent'.

The signs meet as Generating by element, and Three Harmony by branch - that is what produced this score.

Rooster years keep clear standards and never leave an ending blurred. Ox years carry a steadiness that holds a chosen position for a very long time.

What the Rooster brings to a relationship: they catch what was missed, so the same mistakes stop repeating. What the Ox brings: they finish quietly what they promised, which makes them safe to lean on.

Ox's (Earth) energy nurtures Rooster's (Metal) energy — a generating (相生) relationship.

When Ox takes the lead in looking after things, Rooster naturally draws strength from it — a combination where you can be solid support for each other.

Both signs are yin. There is fine mutual attentiveness, but decisions get postponed and things left unsaid grow into misunderstandings. Make it a pairing where speaking first is never the losing move.

The two signs sit on the same Three Harmony axis. You are likely to have met inside the same circle, and you can talk on the same topics for hours. Relationships like this often begin as friendship and deepen from there.

From the Rooster side, Ox reads as the Ten God 'Indirect Resource'; from the Ox side, Rooster reads as 'Output God'. One of you tends to understand and embrace the other, making this a good combination to grow into an emotionally supportive relationship.

What the first wants is simple: to have their exacting nature read as care rather than fussiness. What the second wants: to be allowed their own tempo without being hurried.

The friction, if it comes, starts here - even a correct point, delivered first, makes the other person feel graded. And on the other side: changing pace takes them time, and that can read as stubbornness.

The practical move is a trade: what the first needs (to have their exacting nature read as care rather than fussiness) 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.
