Exploring the compatibility between the 12 animal signs is a very interesting and entertaining way of using Chinese astrology. If the love match says that 2 animal have compatible signs, it translates into the happy occasion of love or marriage or both.

Triangles of affinity defined

There are four triangles of affinity. The 12 animal signs are divided between these. On the basis of similar thinking patterns and general compatibility, 3 animal signs constitute each triangle. An atmosphere of harmony, success and endurance in conjugal ties or in romance is assured between the 3 animals belonging to the same triangle.

Happiness is doubled because of similar interests, hobbies, tastes, mutual understanding; a scorching sexual intimacy adds that special spark to the romance. Minor disputes and niggling problems will always be there.

But on the whole, there is a high chance of a long, durable and stable union. These 3 compatible signs of animal should go ahead with marriage if there is love in the air. This does not however mean that, love relations cannot exist between all the Chinese astrology signs.

Snake, Rooster and Ox Triangle

They also are endowed with complementary traits like the animal personalities in the 1st triangle of affinity.
