A trine: two souls who speak the same language
The Dragon and the Monkey belong to the same group of three (San He) in Chinese astrology. Animals in this group see the world from a similar place: their values, goals and pace of life are close. Together they rarely need long explanations; when one starts an idea, the other naturally completes it. The great strength of this pairing is the ability to unite around a shared purpose.
Don't let the ease of it turn into complacency; keep surprising each other and setting new goals together.
The Dragon in love
- Charismatic
- Ambitious
- Energetic
- Generous
- Proud
- Impatient
In love the Dragon is generous, passionate and protective, bringing great energy and showy enthusiasm to a relationship. It expects admiration and loyalty from its partner and finds it hard to take criticism. While it is warm with everyone around it, setting its ego aside in a close relationship can be difficult. It is highly compatible with the Rat, Monkey and Rooster and may experience a clash of values with the Dog.
The Monkey in love
- Clever
- Creative
- Witty
- Curious
- Cunning
- Adaptable
In love the Monkey is playful, witty and curious, and never lets a relationship get dull. It looks for a partner it connects with intellectually. Getting bored quickly and having many interests can make it hesitant to commit. When it communicates honestly, it becomes a loyal and fun partner. It is compatible with the Rat, Dragon and Snake and may experience friction with the Tiger and Pig.
Compatibility here is based on the animals of the two birth years. A full reading also looks at the elements and the month, day and hour pillars, so treat it as a starting point.
