Chinese zodiac: Dog + Horse

You come together not because you're alike, but because you both hate pretense. The Dog is always waiting for the world to betray it, while the Horse charges ahead with an open heart — and this contrast paradoxically creates the perfect team. You are both idealists, with the Dog defending its ideals in a defensive way, while the Horse attacks. The spark flies instantly: you feel like you can speak frankly with this person, even if the truth is harsh. The Horse pulls the Dog out of depressive thoughts simply by taking its hand and dragging it to a party, while the Dog provides the very 'support' that the Horse constantly lacks in its endless gallop. Conflicts are rare and noisy, but without venom. You might argue about the Horse forgetting to give a heads-up about being late, while the Dog has already worked itself up into a near-heart-attack state. But the Horse doesn’t take offense at the grumbling; it just laughs and turns everything into a joke, disarming its partner. In bed, you share a healthy, sporty energy — minimal complex dramas, maximum passion and physical joy. In business, it’s a ‘golden’ tandem: the Dog checks the documents and insures the risks, while the Horse sells the idea and charms the investors. The main secret to success: the Dog needs to stop keeping the Horse on a short leash, while the Horse needs to learn to look in the rearview mirror every now and then.
