Compatibility by Chinese horoscope: Rat + Goat

You are drawn to the artistry and softness of the Goat, hoping to be its patron, but quickly realize that you've adopted a very expensive and capricious child. The Rat operates with razor-sharp logic and efficiency, while the Goat swims in a cloud of emotions and vague anxieties. Conflict is inevitable when you propose a practical solution to a problem and are accused of being cold and soulless. You will furiously scrub the kitchen to relieve stress while the Goat sulks on the couch, saying 'the vibe just isn't right'. In the bedroom, the Goat needs endless foreplay and assurances of love, while the Rat approaches sex with an appetite for relief and experimentation, which may seem too aggressive for a sensitive partner. Financially, the Rat is a bank while the Goat is a spendthrift buying emotions. In business, you'll do all the work while your partner critiques the aesthetics of the presentation. To survive, the Rat needs to stop looking for logic in the Goat's emotions, but honestly, you’ll just end up tired from tiptoeing.
