Relationship Compatibility for the Dragon
Which Lunar Animal sign best suits the Dragon, when it comes to relationships?
Relationship compatibility within the Chinese Zodiac mostly takes into account the general characteristics for each animal. However, every individual will place their own unique twist on the basic characteristics. That being said, it’s always fun to read about how well (or not well) you match with your partner!
Read on to learn the compatibility of the Dragon with other Animal Lunar Signs.
DRAGON PARTNER + RAT PARTNER: 95%
This combination will bring about a fulfilling relationship as the optimistic couple are brave and determined enough to work out a future together. This couple will find it easy to trust each other as both are very capable and have tremendous amounts of self-confidence.
The Dragon will be very attracted and grateful for the Rat’s loyalty, positive attitude and continuous support for the Dragon. The Dragon is very kind and giving while the Rat can be thrifty and resourceful, making this couple well prepared at times of need. The Rat is very active and lively but will always allow the Dragon to take on the dominant role. This union is a very fruitful and lasting one as long as each partner is willing to compromise and not seek absolute equality from each other.
In order to make this relationship stronger, the Dragon should be careful not be too domineering and both should allow each other enough freedom. The Dragon should appreciate the cautious advice of the Rat though because the Dragon’s magnetic personality and power will attract all and sundry and the Dragon may tend to jump into situations without thinking it through. The Rat’s ability to spot danger at ten paces will be an asset to the Dragon if the Dragon listens to the Rat. Always realise that each is looking after your best interests at heart and work from that basis for a successful relationship.
DRAGON PARTNER + OX PARTNER: 48%
The Dragon is dynamic and adventurous while the Ox is apathetic and systematic. The Ox enjoys time alone while the Dragon wants to be surrounded by friends. This couple will have to love and respect each other to make it work as both possess equally strong characters and it’s not easy to come to a compromise.
Both the Dragon and the Ox can be respectful of each other but both are also stubborn, which is the determining factor if the relationship is to last or fall apart. The Dragon is very ambitious and works for recognition, a very attractive characteristic that the materialistic Ox admires and which encourages the Ox to push forward for success especially materially.
The Dragon can be very unsympathetic if their common goals do not produce results. While the Dragon is very sociable, and constantly needs love and admiration, the Ox can be very conservative, emotionless and distant. For the relationship to work the two would need to compromise; and if both strive for success and succeed, they would be truly proud and dedicated to each other.
DRAGON PARTNER + TIGER PARTNER: 76%
This is definitely a couple who are well-known for being courageous and ambitious. However, both might want to dominate the other. The good news is the Dragon will compromise if the other does the same. The perseverance to work out the relationship might fade after the initial period. There has to be a lot of give and take to make this relationship work. However, their characteristic and nature makes this combination to have more potential for a long lasting friendship, love and marriage.
The union of a Dragon and Tiger will not be a dull and regular one, as both partners are active and open-minded. They would find each other’s company to be very exciting as long as their individual freedom is preserved. The Tiger has high respect for the Dragon but will never give in, and should the Dragon try, trouble will arise. Both have explosive tempers and do not like being dominated by the other partner. If they can respect each others need for personal freedom and can maintain a balance, they will have an adventurous marriage. Keeping a separate group of friends and remembering to spend time apart will help. The matchmaking of this pair is recommended, both in business and romance.
In a Dragon husband and Tiger wife relationship, the initial attraction takes place instantly. Due to their rash behavior, they tend to find conflict in the relationship, a type of disagreement which may fuel their relationship since both love sparring with a good opponent.
In a Dragon wife and Tiger husband relationship, they will find perfect harmony.
DRAGON PARTNER +RABBIT PARTNER: 85%
The marriage between a Rabbit and Dragon is a realistic and positive combination. Although the Rabbit may like a cozy evening at home, and the Dragon on the other hand wants to go out, they both appreciate a supportive relationship, which they can achieve with some effort. While both have different personalities, one partner’s positive values complement the other partner’s short-comings and on top of that, they guide and support each other to better themselves in many ways. The Dragon allows the Rabbit to take on the dominant role with the knowledge that the Rabbit would always return for advice in most matters. The Dragon is capable and kind, and the Rabbit is determined enough for the both of them. Together, they form a relationship that contains everything that is needed for shared success.
This is a good marriage because their personalities complement each other, offering each other support, comfort, companionship and security. The Rabbit will arrange a comfortable home for the Dragon to return to, while the Dragon will comfort and protect when the Rabbit is feeling down. This union will be a good one if they strive for their similarities and not let petty concerns interfere. They need to understand each other and address any doubts before it becomes a problem. If they focus on their dreams and hopes, they will make it.
In a Rabbit husband and Dragon wife relationship, it is not an advisable relationship. While she may be attracted to him at first, soon their differences will be too apparent. He will eventually find it difficult to overlook her flaws and feel pressured to meet her needs for admiration.
In a Rabbit wife and Dragon husband relationship, her fragility is very attractive to him while his generosity and personality attracts her to him. Her ability to charm him will help smooth any frustrations he may have.
DRAGON PARTNER + DRAGON PARTNER: 34%
Two Dragons together is not a very peaceful arrangement. The advantage of this combination is that their similarities allow them to be perfect partners, friends, and companions. They are both individualistic, strong willed and aggressive which makes this relationship difficult if these two do not agree on their goals in the earlier stage.
Neither wants the other partner to overshadow them. Therefore, compromise is needed for the relationship to work. It is advisable for both partners to continue their careers and have their own hobbies to avoid withholding the other. Otherwise, conflict is likely to arise. However, this does not mean either or both can shirk their responsibility at home. Occasional arguments will occur but they will make up quickly.
DRAGON PARTNER + SNAKE PARTNER: 63%
With both signs having a strong personality, a supportive and fulfilling relationship can only be achieved if this perfect combination can adjust to each other’s diverse personalities. Together, they create an ambitious, active relationship that strives for and accomplishes their common goals. The Snake can be impulsive and domineering while the Dragon is calm and patient. The Snake is always looking forward to work and success. The Dragon, having more business intelligence can impart some diligence and common sense on the Snake. They can both build a good life together with each others support.
The Dragon may have some conflicts with the Snake when wanting to put across certain views. The Snake likes things a certain way while the Dragon wants to make the Snake to see things in a different light. However, the Dragon secretly wants someone wiser and more dominating. The Snake provides security in the union and admires the enthusiasm of the Dragon. With great determination, the couple can improve tremendously through this mutually helpful and useful partnership.
DRAGON PARTNER + HORSE PARTNER: 57%
The Dragon and the Horse have many similarities. They are both fun loving, adventurous and very social. The Dragon likes the Horse’s caring nature and strength while the Horse admires the Dragon’s passion and enthusiasm. The Horse is thrifty with money while the Dragon is resourceful in bringing in money, a trait the Horse admires and appreciates.
This couple will both lead a busy, wandering life as neither is domestic enough to stay at home. Life will be delightful if they both get to keep a job as well as manage their home. The relationship strengthens when both are provided with variety and freedom. The Dragon is always enthusiastic about taking on new exciting projects. Both the Horse and the Dragon fuel each other’s enterprising spirit. The Horse is rational when evaluating the risk they are taking. The Dragon’s powerful persuasion can deal with the Horse’s inconsistencies. They can have a great partnership if they can reach a common understanding.
DRAGON PARTNER + SHEEP PARTNER: 74%
For this relationship to be harmonious, much effort and patience must be applied. The Sheep’s sensitivity is often overlooked. The Sheep finds it difficult to express the need for the Dragon’s empathy. The Sheep loves family life but the Dragon may not be too concerned about domestic affairs. The Dragon is adventurous, aggressive and dominant but the Sheep is docile, emotional and moody. Ultimately, the relationship is dominated by the Dragon, as it is the Dragon’s nature to control those who are close to him.
The Sheep is fascinated with the Dragon’s brilliance and superiority while the Dragon is attracted to the Sheep’s kindness, loyalty and honesty. However, the Sheep may be too timid to follow the Dragon’s ambitious ways. The Dragon may find the Sheep unsuitable due to the Sheep’s lack of ambition. The Dragon will be able to give the Sheep much encouragement but the Dragon’s patience has its limits. Much effort is needed to smooth the edges in this union. Therefore, it can be a moderately workable arrangement.
DRAGON PARTNER + MONKEY PARTNER: 82%
The Dragon is drawn to the Monkey’s charisma and the Monkey admires the Dragon’s leadership. They are both ambitious and career minded, making them a wonderful couple. Together, they will explore and lead a very exciting life. This is an ideal match, both romantically and mentally.
Both are more than willing to work hand in hand for a lasting and successful relationship. Both are positive, aggressive, and ambitious and at the same time very observant. The Monkey is skilful and intelligent, while the Dragon is energetic and has great willpower. Both will make full use of their attributes to complement each other. The Monkey’s love for challenges has the support of the Dragon throughout. This amazing pair will pamper one another, work harmoniously and have great understanding with each other.
DRAGON PARTNER + ROOSTER PARTNER: 72%
This relationship can achieve great closeness but not without any challenges. The Rooster who is a perfectionist is prone to be insensitive with remarks but the Dragon has the ability to stay focused and not be affected by it. However, the Rooster must be aware that the Dragon does have its limits. With the Dragon’s initiative and Rooster’s eye for detail and conservatism they make an excellent team.
Both of them will be happier if there is a mutual agreement on which areas each should take control. They are both equally intellectual, but it would be good if they both try not to overshadow one another.
As long as they can ignore the other’s annoying traits, and keep matters fair at all costs, these two can make a perfect match.
DRAGON PARTNER + DOG PARTNER: 55%
This relationship will be a collection of arguments due to the huge gap in their basic temperaments. They are both aggressive and forceful but in very different ways. The Dragon loves freedom but the Dog demands loyalty and cooperation. They are both proud and willful, and neither will give in to one another. Although both may be trying to attain the attributes of the other, they both do not know how to approach the matter. Many adjustments need to be done for this marriage to work.
Love and hate will characterize this relationship, which sees the Dog and Dragon on opposing ends. Both demonstrate their leadership qualities in entirely different ways. The diplomatic Dog will try to bring people together, while the colourful Dragon will employ overpowering techniques which the Dog will not understand and may come to resent. Using these same overpowering techniques on the Dog may hurt the Dog and once hurt, the Dog is likely to be defensive or retaliate. Since there is no compromise between the two, relationships of this nature will be difficult to sustain.
DRAGON PARTNER + PIG PARTNER: 87%
This is a relationship that can either succeed or fail, depending on either partner’s response. Both signs are assertive, active and energetic but in different ways. The Dragon’s force may upset the Pig. However, the Pig who is keen to please, will put unrelenting efforts to bring success to the relationship.
The Pig will always be supportive and encouraging to the Dragon’s ambition. The Dragon is often impulsive but the Pig will patiently endure all the Dragon’s shortcomings. The Pig will be the peacemaker when a heated argument crops up. The Pig and the Dragon will have no problem in cooperating on the same goals. As long as the Dragon makes Pig feels needed, the Pig will always be devoted to the Dragon and be the Dragon’s support whenever the Dragon falls. The Pig and the Dragon will have a successful, intensely romantic and stable union.

Dear Cookie,
Welcome to tsemrinpoche.com. As stated in the DRAGON PARTNER + DOG PARTNER compatibility above, “They are both proud and willful, and neither will give in to one another. Many adjustments need to be done for this marriage to work.” However, the good thing is that you both love each other, so compromise and adjustments can be made.
Compatibility is important, but what will really make a relationship work is the effort, and how far each partner will go to support and encourage the growth of the other through the ups and downs in life.
I’d like to share with you this teaching/ advice from H.E. Tsem Rinpoche, “Ingredients for a successful relationship”, which I think will be beneficial for you and your partner: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/students-friends/ingredients-for-a-successful-relationship.html
Hope to hear from you again.
Dear Cookie,
I would like to add to what Pastor Shin has already shared with you. In addition to the important advice given by His Eminence the 25th Tsem Rinpoche in his teaching entitled ‘Ingredients for a Successful Relationship’, you can also engage in the practice of Mother Tara.
From a spiritual standpoint, the tendency to act or behave in a certain way is due to karma created in previous lives. Therefore within Buddhism there are many practices which seek to purify one’s karma so we are no longer affected by this negativity.
Among these practices, one of the more powerful, especially in terms of creating harmony within relationships and familial settings is the practice of Mother Tara. This practice is very beneficial in calling upon swift energies that quickly fulfil our wishes within our lives, particularly in terms of relationships with others. This leads to a successful and harmonious life.
If you would like to begin the practice, you can find a nice post on the Praise to the 21 Taras here: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/homage-to-the-supreme-mother-tara.html. This is a very powerful prayer that invokes upon the energies of Mother Tara into our life.
You can also sponsor a Puja, or prayers, following this link: http://www.vajrasecrets.com/tara-puja-fund-for-swift-assistance. The prayers to Tara, which are performed on behalf of sponsors is known to have very quick and effective results, allowing people the relief they need and seek in life. I hope this helps.
Thank you.

Hope your soonest advice.
Thank you.
Hello! I know that Tibetian and Mongolian astrology are nearly same. But in Mongolian astrology said that dragon and snake couple can not be, because their genital compatibility is morbid and has side effects that results dragon & snake couple’s intimate life will be ended soon, may cause kidney, bladder disease, their children may born early or sick, further may be unhealthy, or healthy born child may die suddenly at teen/adult ages and dragon and snake couple’s blood type is incompatible. Is it true?
Second one is there is said Dragon and Tiger or Rabbit couple can’t be, if they are intimated Dragon eye may hurt or wounded, and Dragon will paralyzed (by wooden apoplectic/May sickness ).
Can you please explain these? Are these true or false? And give advice please.
Thank you
Hope your soonest reply.
