Monkey and Monkey
Monkey and Monkey 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: inventiveness, humor and the ability to solve the unsolvable.
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 Monkey gets carried away easily and grows bored once things become predictable — and the partner behaves exactly the same way.
Both need the same thing: interest and room to maneuver. Understanding each other will be easy; giving way will be hard.
In marriage and at home
The Monkey optimizes housework rather than doing it — they'll figure out a way not to. 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 Monkey resorts to cunning where an honest agreement would be simpler — 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, for once, choose the direct route over the clever one.
- 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.
