One of the most combative combination's of signs (the “not-so-nice” energies) belongs to those signs in OPPOSITION. These pairings,

whether in a love relationship, between your birth pillars or with

clashing dates and times, cause frustrations, annoyances and

sometimes disastrous situations.



The OPPOSITIONS

Rat - Horse:

          Interestingly, despite their opposition, these two souls meet up with each other frequently.
A dual nature exists with Rat year souls, a need for security yet a need for independence.
They need an understanding ear to listen to their ideas and the Horse is too preoccupied with their
own dreams and ambitions. Signs in opposition seem initially to be “made in heaven” but can end in
disappointment and bitterness. The Rat and the Horse are two out of the four “Peach blossom”
or love flower signs. Each is an incorrigible flirt and has a taste for sexual variety. The charitable
Horse can't abide the Rat's penny-pinching ways and asking him to sign a pre-nuptual agreement
is akin to treason. This is a karmic opposition that makes better friends than lovers. Rat year born
Sean Penn and Horse year born Robin Wright-Penn struggle through this difficult connection.

 

Ox - Goat:

          If one says black, the other says white. These two polarized opposites can make sparks
fly with their radically different temperaments and opinions. Oxen are predictable and responsible.
The Goat interprets this as tyrannical -- a prison of sorts.  Goats are artistic and unpunctual. The
Ox acts and the Goat re-acts to life. This is a case of the motorcycle cop with a quota to meet
verses the low-keyed small town sheriff who wants no confrontation. Oxen are regulated, organized
and controlled. Goats are loose cannons that capriciously act and re-act to life. This is not an
auspicious romantic combination, but other kinds of relationships such as siblings, business
partners, etc. can be beneficial to both.

 

Tiger - Monkey:

          There is a real trust issue between these two polarized souls. The Tiger knows that the
Monkey is capable of playing tricks and gaining confidences and this makes them nervous. The
Tiger has no patience for the Monkey’s schemes, tricks or fast talk. Worst of all, a Tiger will not
tolerate the Monkey's “know-it-all” attitude past a certain point. Then, there's the matter of who is
upstaging who? There can only be one king or queen of the jungle, and the Tiger is it! Another
problem between them is that the independent Tiger spends a lot of time away from home, that will
give the Monkey too many opportunities to become involved in mischievous activities.

 

Rabbit - Rooster:

          No matter how hard these two try, compatibility seems beyond their reach. The brash
Rooster’s caustic criticism sets the Rabbit’s nerves on edge.  The Rooster considers the
Rabbit a “weak sister,” too delicate and easily hurt. However, if the Rabbit is a sexual submissive,
the dominating Rooster may fit the bill, at least sexually. Outside of the bedroom, this is not
an auspicious relationship. While relationships between all signs are possible, the combination
of the aloof Rabbit and the cocky Rooster very rarely results in a long-term relationship. Rabbit
year born Whitney Houston and Rooster year born Bobby Brown suffer through this difficult
connection.

 

Dragon - Dog:

          This is an interesting relationship, to say the least. Being polarized opposites, the Dragon
and the Dog are as different as night and day. The traditional Dog clashes with the non-traditional
Dragon and their relationship path is filled with bumps and quagmires. The worst being the Dragon's
brutally outspoken tendencies combined with the Dog's thin emotional skin. Ouch! Another hurdle
to jump is that the dutiful Dog does what is necessary while the Dragons do as they please.
However, each possesses traits that the other would do well to learn. The Earth element that they
share binds them somewhat, but they remain better colleagues than lovers. Possibly productive
business associates, but a difficult and complicated love union.

 

Snake - Pig:

          While both are agreeable and deeply feeling souls, the Snake and Pig are in direct
opposition. They try to please each other, but can't quite seem to make the connection.
Communication is the key to any successful relationship between the two of them. The honest
Pig judges the Snake as having an elastic conscience or to be less scrupulous than themselves.
This drives a wedge of tension between the two. In addition, the Pig has difficulty adhering to the
Snake's penny-pinching ways and the Snake is irritated by the Pigs over-indulgence in various
material pleasures. One spends and the other saves, then abruptly, the Snake will turn extravagant
while the Pig is financially circumspect. They just can't seem to get in sync with each other. Snake
year born Charlie Sheen and Pig year born Denise Richards learned what Snake native Desi Arnaz
and Pig year born Lucille Ball found out the hard way.
