缘分How the Rooster and the Dog get along

The Rooster and the Dog form one of the six harm pairs. Harm is quieter than a clash: there is no open conflict, but small misunderstandings, unspoken expectations and outside gossip can wear the bond down over time. Honesty early on prevents most of it.

The Rooster brings precision and honesty and needs appreciation and order. The Dog brings loyalty and fairness and needs honesty and trust.

五行Element match

The Dog carries Earth and the Rooster carries Metal. Earth feeds Metal in the generating cycle, so the Dog tends to be the supporter and giver, and the Rooster the one who flourishes with that support.

爱情Love and marriage

In love the risk is drifting apart through things left unsaid, so regular honest check-ins matter. Roosters are loyal, dependable partners who show love by taking care of practical details. They value honesty and need a partner who appreciates their efforts and can handle frank talk. Dogs are devoted partners who need trust above everything. Once committed they are steady and protective, and they flourish with someone honest who keeps their promises.

事业Friendship and work

At work they should put decisions in writing and avoid office politics around each other. Roosters excel in accounting, medicine, the military, journalism, quality control, fashion and any role that rewards precision and standards. Dogs do well in law, social work, medicine, teaching, public service, security and any role built on trust and fairness.
