Ox Compatibility — All 12 Zodiac Animal Matches
How the Ox matches every other Chinese zodiac animal: Six Harmony, Three Harmony and clash relationships, scored and explained.
Quick answer
Which animals is the Ox structurally matched with?
On the birth-year branch alone, the Ox holds a Six Harmony or Three Harmony with Rat (鼠), Snake (蛇), Rooster (鸡), and a clash or hidden clash with Horse (马), Goat (羊). That is the structure of the relationship, not an outcome — the year branch is one of four pillars, and the other three are read the same way.

| 牛 Ox | Same sign | 68 | Two of a kind: instant understanding, identical blind spots. |
| 虎 Tiger | Neutral | 64 | Workable. Neither natural allies nor natural friction. |

of four. Two people are far more than their birth years.

where they harmonise by default, and where they collide because there is no contrast.
