Dog and Dog
Dog and Dog are a same-sign pair in the Chinese zodiac. The nominal compatibility score is 70%. Below is how it's arrived at under the traditional rules and what it means in practice.
How compatible they are
In Chinese tradition, two of the same sign are considered neither the best nor the worst combination: the understanding will be complete, but there will be no complementing each other at all. Whatever is pronounced in the sign gets doubled in such a pair.
Both bring the same things to the pair: loyalty, fairness and a readiness to protect.
An important caveat: in this horoscope the Chinese year doesn't start on January 1 but on the day of Lichun — February 3, 4 or 5. If you were born in January or early February, check your sign with the calculator, or you may be reading someone else's page.
In love
The Dog bonds for the long haul and tests the partner's decency — and the partner behaves exactly the same way.
Both need the same thing: honesty and the certainty that they won't be deceived. Understanding each other will be easy; giving way will be hard.
In marriage and at home
The Dog runs the household conscientiously and without show. The partner is built the same way, so household roles will have to be divided deliberately — they won't sort themselves out otherwise.
At work this pair does especially well: tradition considers signs of the same triangle good business partners, and in practice that means a matching pace.
The pair's weak spots
In a conflict, the Dog worries and suspects where there's no reason to — and gets exactly the same behavior back.
The main risk is a shared blind spot: both of them miss the same things.
Advice for the pair
- Both should voice their fears before they turn into accusations.
- And remember: in a pair like this, there's nowhere to borrow a missing quality from; both will have to develop it.
- For both: don't mistake calm for indifference; this pair benefits from coming up with shared projects.
