According to the Chinese Zodiac, certain animals have higher compatibility with each other in terms of love and romance. The Ox, for example, has the best chances of finding true love with the Rat, Rooster, or Snake. The Rat, on the other hand, has the highest compatibility with four other animals: another Rat, Ox, Dragon, or Monkey. Meanwhile, the Snake has the lowest compatibility, with only two perfect matches: the Ox and the Rooster. Other animals with high compatibility include the Goat, Rabbit, Pig, Horse, and Dog. It’s important to note that while compatibility can play a significant role in a relationship, it doesn’t guarantee success and requires effort and compromise from both partners.
