General Relations

Both the Rat and Goat know how to enjoy themselves and have a fondness for the good life. Together they enjoy wining, dining and leading an active social life. For the short to medium term the Rat and Goat can become good friends but each has traits which irritate the other and in time they may drift apart.

The Rat and Goat do not work well together. The Rat is a supreme opportunist, constantly geared up for action and determined to make the most of his abilities. He is competitive and ambitious. The Goat, however, needs to feel inspired and encouraged by others. The Rat is a self-starter, the Goat needs to be prodded. In work they are best going their separate ways.

In Love and Marriage

The Rat and Goat are both friendly and sociable signs and are often attracted to each other. Both possess romantic and passionate natures and both exude a strong sex appeal.

However, a relationship is hard to maintain and the longer-term prospects for a match between the Rat and Goat are decidedly bleak. As the intensity of their feelings begins to fade they begin to discover the gulf that exists between them.

The Rat is hardworking, industrious and energetic, while the Goat sets about his activities in a more leisurely manner. The Rat is thrifty while the Goat is a spendthrift. The Rat can be forthright and candid in his views, while the Goat is sensitive, shrinks from arguments and takes the Rat’s criticisms very much to heart. The Rat has little time for the Goat’s artistic and sometimes whimsical nature, and in turn, the Goat may come to view the Rat as greedy, meddlesome and fussy.
