General Relations

The Rat and Horse are both outgoing signs and for a short time may find each other interesting company. However, their different temperaments may bring them into conflict and it is rare for the Rat and the Horse to become lasting friends. Both signs can be strong willed, opinionated and forthright in their views and this may lead to clashes between them. There is not much empathy between them and general relations between these two signs are poor.

Problems also emerge when the Rat and Horse work together, each wants to take the lead and dominate. There is mistrust between them; the Horse comes to view the Rat as conniving and thrifty, while the Rat sees the Horse as impulsive, impatient and short-tempered. There is little agreement between them and their competitive and independent spirits get the better of them – not a happy or successful arrangement.

In Love and Marriage

Both the Rat and Horse are romantic and passionate and they may fall deeply in love with each other. The Horse is seduced by the Rat’s irresistable charm and the Rat by the Horse’s lively and engaging manner. In the early stages of their relationship they have much fun.

However, relations between them quickly degenerate. Both the Rat and Horse are strong-willed and opinionated signs. Both are egoists and both want to dominate the relationship. The Rat is open and forthright in expressing his views and has little trouble in igniting the Horse’s short temper.

Differing attitudes towards money may also cause problems. The thrifty Rat likes to keep a close control over the purse strings and views the Horse as a spendthrift and over-generous, while the Horse considers the Rat materialistic and tight-fisted.
