A neutral match of gentle and lively: the Monkey cheers up the Goat, and the Goat brings out the Monkey’s softer side.

Depends on you two

Traditional relationship

Neutral: No special traditional link, so the match comes down to how the two personalities combine.

Together

Goat and Monkey share no special traditional bond, so the pairing depends on their contrasting styles. The Monkey is clever, playful and full of plans; the Goat is warm, artistic and attentive. The Monkey makes the Goat laugh on a bad day, and the Goat gives the Monkey a place where it doesn’t need to perform. Together they can be a fun creative team, one generating ideas and the other adding taste.

Where it gets stuck

The Monkey’s jokes can feel careless to a sensitive Goat, and the Goat’s need for reassurance may tire a Monkey who moves fast. The Monkey might change weekend plans on a whim, leaving the Goat unsettled. Over time, the Goat may feel it is taken lightly, while the Monkey feels its spontaneity is being clipped.

Tips for this pair

  1. Monkey, give the Goat a heads-up before changing plans.
  2. Goat, tell the Monkey when a joke hurt, soon after it happens.
  3. Start one creative project together where both contribute equally.
