Which Lunar Animal sign best suits the Snake, 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 Snake with other Animal Lunar Signs.

.

SNAKE PARTNER + RAT PARTNER: 67%

This can be a great partnership. The two controlling yet realistic partners will make necessary compromises in order to achieve success in their relationship.  The Rat will appreciate the Snake’s intelligence and perseverance while the Snake admires the Rat’s success-orientated attitude. The Rat is more flexible and easy-going although both are materialistic and result-orientated. The Rat likes it that the Snake is cautious and likes the Rat’s devotion.

This materialistic pair will never stop advancing themselves, making their union a successful and profitable one provided they have the right attitude and have a mutual agreement on their priorities. Although they may have a similar view generally, the Rat craves more togetherness, which is sometimes not readily given by the Snake. Both the Snake and the Rat are naturally suspicious and have a severe lack of trust so they should learn to communicate better with each other. They should take care not to allow jealousy and secrets to obstruct their progress or wreck their relationship which can be very beneficial to each other.

SNAKE PARTNER + OX PARTNER: 85%

The Ox and Snake combination is a good one. The Snake is materialistic and will admire the Ox for what the Ox can provide. The Ox finds the Snake pleasant and observant. Both will complement each other; the Ox will look for the Snake as support and the Snake will be proud to have someone like the Ox.

The two are very selective and they will find that they made a good decision in choosing each other. They are both humble, and share the same beliefs and ambition. The combined strength of the Snake and Ox is much greater than each one on their own. The Snake will learn to trust the Ox, and they will support each other through any difficulty. Together, they can rely on each other in times of crisis. They will have a happy life together.

.

SNAKE PARTNER + TIGER PARTNER: 69%

The Tiger doesn’t appreciate the Snake’s jealousy and possessiveness. The Snake doesn’t understand the Tiger’s prodigal attitude as Snakes are careful with money. The Tiger sometimes may not want to accept the Snake’s proposed methods no matter how sensible they may be. This relationship has many differences to be sorted out; the totally different outlook, lifestyle and objective in life, makes the outcome of this union not so favorable.

This is a very difficult relationship as both signs can neither understand nor overlook the other’s shortcomings, and on top of that, they are both passionate and deeply suspicious making them unable to trust each other. The Tiger is very lively and resents the Snake’s secretive behavior and intense ambition. On the other hand, the Snake is intelligent and refined, and finds the Tiger to be outspoken. The two are unable to communicate with each other effectively which makes it difficult to maintain this relationship. This relationship is much more successful if the pair begins as friends, as it will help them to overlook any negative qualities that may prove irritating later.

In a Tiger husband and Snake wife relationship, the wife is more reliable in money management and finds her husband’s adventurous nature immature or even irresponsible. She will always long for a more established and productive partner, while he will wish for a partner who can let loose a little bit.

In a Snake husband and Tiger wife relationship on the other hand, both have zero tolerance for each other, as they are both totally self sufficient and always aware of their partner’s shortcomings. The wife finds her husband to be unapproachable, while the husband finds her too blunt.

.

SNAKE PARTNER + RABBIT PARTNER: 61%

These two are compatible to a good degree particularly due to the couple’s common preferences which hold the relationship together. They also tend to enhance each other’s stronger points by means of encouragement, however, at times the snake can be too demanding. The disadvantage lies in the egoistic and insecurity tendencies of both partners, and should they decide to lean on a negative mindset, it would put their relationship in jeopardy. Money is another issue, as both enjoy buying beautiful things but the Rabbit will worry over money continuously. If they overcome these issues, they can have a happy relationship.

The two signs form a peaceful combination. The Snake is forceful and dominant while the other will be open to his way of thinking. However, both these signs are not very accommodating and they may tend to neglect each other for their personal achievements. Fortunately, the Rabbit will not be too upset if its partner is busy with work and pays little attention, so long as the partner is able to provide for the family.

They share very similar preferences, thus these two can achieve harmony both mentally and romantically.

In a Rabbit husband and Snake wife relationship, her extravagance may lead to disagreements as he often keeps a tight hold on financial situations. She appears irresponsible to him but usually she gets things done her way. They will have great conversation together until their differences come up, and if they do not overcome it, all will be lost.

In a Rabbit wife and Snake husband relationship, they appear to be the perfect match. They are both sociable and charming, but very moody. He can be irresponsible at times, making her take charge of certain situations. His wandering eyes can also cause her to feel low-esteemed.

.

SNAKE PARTNER + DRAGON 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.

.

SNAKE PARTNER + SNAKE PARTNER: 51%

Being of the same sign with similar personalities and traits, both of them will be able to communicate well, especially on subjects that both are involved in. Both are attracted to each other’s charm. They are not clingy as they are both independent. They can be tireless in their pursuit of success. Their similar ambition usually brings them together and a great deal of accomplishment can be achieved together if they do not let jealousy and possessiveness ruin it for them. When they are paired together, they are usually so in love with each other that problems hardly appear. They will have a great relationship whether they are friends or lovers.

.

SNAKE PARTNER + HORSE PARTNER: 75%

The Snake and Horse both live in different worlds and have a totally different personality, making this union not very satisfying for either of them. The Snake is cautious and has his view on long-term goals while the Horse cares more for momentary enjoyments. The Snake is often consistent with any endeavors, while the Horse is impulsive and inconsistent. Because of this, the Snake finds the Horse irresponsible and the Horse dislikes the Snake’s serious and calm nature.

Although both are mentally sharp and realistic, this union is unlikely. The Horse is temperamental and values freedom and variety while the Snake can be resistant to change and may resent the Horse’s rash and self centered personality. The Horse may find the Snake too determined and refined and the Snake may not think highly of the Horse. To make such a marriage work, both of them have to be very unselfish.

.

SNAKE PARTNER + SHEEP PARTNER: 69%

Things may not be perfect in this marriage but it can work out if both make sincere effort. Both the Snake and the Sheep are materialistic and attracted to beauty. These characteristics could seal their relationship. The Sheep may lack diligence while the Snake can be too secretive. The Snake is guided by logic and wisdom, while the Sheep is governed by emotions and artistic inclination. Occasionally, they will disagree on each other’s behavior but they may find many points that they can agree on.

The Snake may be possessive but the Snake can also feel suffocated if the Sheep becomes clingy. The Snake is very realistic and efficient and would make sacrifices for greater goals while the Sheep is sensitive and gets discouraged easily when things get tough. The Snake is very intelligent while the Sheep is very emotional, a gap they may find difficult to bridge in times of difficulty. This makes the relationship compatible only to a certain extent.

.

SNAKE PARTNER + MONKEY PARTNER: 57%

Both signs are scheming and competitive. The relationship can turn into a battle of wills and wits. The Monkey will provoke the Snake’s anger easily and since the Snake is not forgiving, the Snake will disapprove of the Monkey quickly. The Monkey will always find ways to challenge the Snake while the Snake is ambitious and is set on having his way. Quite a lot of effort may be needed to sustain this relationship as both are naturally jealous and suspicious. The Monkey is outgoing, innovative and energetic while the Snake is motivated, sophisticated and persevering.

Even when each has their own positive attributes, they tend to expose the weaknesses of one another. They seem to bring out the worst in each other.  For this relationship to work, both will have to be mutually genuine and upfront.

.

SNAKE PARTNER + ROOSTER PARTNER: 90%

This materialistic couple has a strong spiritual and mental affinity for each other.  The Rooster is a good housekeeper and the Snake is an efficient provider. Together, they will share the same dreams of influence and material security. The Snake will put up with the Rooster’s continuous rambling but ultimately the Snake will rely on his own wisdom to make decisions. The Rooster is grateful for Snake’s understanding.

The Rooster is vigorous, decisive and moves at a “hastening” speed. The Snake is patient, cool-headed and reflective. The Rooster may feel that he is being held back by the Snake while the Snake may feel he is being rushed into something by the Rooster. The Rooster has the ability to cheer-up the solemn Snake. Both can meet on an intellectual level. This marriage could go either way. Either their individual characteristics will cancel each others’ off and hence find a balance or they will conflict.

.

SNAKE PARTNER + DOG PARTNER: 67%

Both signs have strong convictions and their disapproval of some of each other’s ways may prevent a close relationship. The Snake is ambitious and calculated in his actions while the Dog is affectionate and loyal. The Snake will demand total commitment but the Dog will only support him up to the extent that the Snake’s demands do not compromise the Dog’s principles. The Dog is not materialistic and cannot understand the Snake’s desire for wealth and power while the Snake fails to understand why the Dog is so easily offended.

Although not perfectly matched, this union could work provided both approach it with an understanding that they need to be realistic in their expectations of one another. After all, the Snake’s sophistication will be lost on the down-to-earth Dog. Despite the Snake’s appreciation for the Dog’s intelligence, it may not necessarily be reciprocated by the Dog who will fail to understand the Snake’s mystique, despite being level-headed and objective in nature.

.

SNAKE PARTNER + PIG PARTNER: 45%

The Snake possesses great determination and willpower, while the Pig is easygoing by nature. The Pig is unable to understand the Snake or help the Snake further the Snake’s ambition. The Snake finds the Pig unappealing and has no use for her generosity unless there’s a motive behind it.

Because of the Pig’s naïve character, the Pig is unable to understand the Snake’s complex and doubting mind. Due to this, the Snake tends to be unconcerned about the Pig’s sincerity, causing much hurt to the Pig’s feelings. Their totally opposite personalities cannot give much happiness to each other in this relationship. There can be little harmony in this match.
