Goat - Goat Love Compatibility in Chinese Astrology

The Goat is one of the most attractive animal signs of the Chinese zodiac. Quiet, cultured and homely, they make for pleasant relationships though they may be a tad emotional in nature. Thus a relationship between two Goats will be intimate and comfortable though perhaps lacking practicality and initiative.

High points of a Goat-Goat love match

The most significant characteristic of the Goat is perhaps their deeply emotional nature. They attach great importance to feelings and in a relationship they primarily look to develop meaningful emotional connections with the partner. Attuned to emotions, the Goat often seems to have an innate ability to sense the moods and feelings of others around them. This is what chiefly works in favor of Goat-Goat love compatibility. A Goat is best placed to understand what is expected of him/her in a relationship. Both partners of this sign are able to provide the emotional intimacy they crave so much and without which a relationship holds little meaning for them. On the other hand if a Goat is paired with a practical sign like the Ox or an effervescent one like the Horse, they might have to wait a long time for the partnership to develop an emotional bonding. Thus it is with another person of his/her own kind that the Goat can best expect their emotional expectations to be understood and returned.

Yet another aspect which works to bring men and women of this zodiac closer is their mutual love for home and family. In women of this sign, this trait is manifested in a maternal and caring nature while in case of men it expresses itself as a preference for domestic pleasures and a readiness to settle down with a partner. When Goat partners date, they are much more likely to prefer a quiet intimate dinner before the fireside rather than a night out at the discotheque or the bar. This is also one reason why problems can crop up when a Goat dates a highly extroverted sign like the Rat or the Dragon. The latter will want to go out and party while the Goat would be only too happy to stay at home. Thus when dating a fellow Goat, it is easy for them to agree upon the best way to spend a romantic night, which could be whipping up a romantic dinner for two or watching old love movies on the DVD.

Then again it is extremely important for a Goat to feel secure in a relationship. This is perhaps a consequence of their highly emotional natures which is why they need to be assured repeatedly that they are the only one for their partners. Both Goat men and women can get extremely jealous if they believe that their partners are not paying adequate attention to them. As a result of this tendency, it is difficult for a Goat to pair up with signs like the Horse and Monkey who are known for their outgoing social natures. On the other hand a fellow Goat will understand their need for emotional security and not balk at their possessive overtures.

Challenges of a Goat-Goat love match

However the emotional nature of the Goat also poses the primary obstacle to their mutual love compatibility. The overwhelming focus on feelings ends up making Goat extremely sensitive as a result of which an indifferent glance or an impatient gesture can wound them deeply. They are quick to take offence when confronted with an alternate opinion or opposition. Any hint of criticism and the male Goat will probably withdraw into a shell while a female Goat would begin to sulk or dissolve into a flood of tears, all the while refusing to talk about what went wrong. The problem is that when both partners are completely given over to feelings, the relationship can lose in touch with reality. What each feels, thinks and perceives will begin to assume greater importance that what is actually going on in the relationship. At such times, the practical nature of the Ox or the airy detachment of the Tiger might have helped to put things in perspective and search for realistic solutions to any problematic issues. Then again this sign does not take too kindly to hard work - thus though a home made up Goat partner is likely to be full of comforts and pretty things, neither partner will be ready to tackle issues like daily maintenance and domestic drudgery. Also finances may be a concern since the Goat is not very good at wise spending and saving. Thus a Goat-Goat couple may find their expenses more than income or a mortgage piling up.

Also the Goat’s nurturing bent can get rather overwhelming at times. Too much care and mothering from the female Goat can turn out to be smothering while the male Goat’s protective instincts can appear to be controlling and overly possessive. However these traits are more likely to bother other independent signs like the Tiger or Horse which require ample breathing space about them.

Finally the Goat-Goat partnership shows great promise of romantic compatibility. All it needs is a little common sense to balance out the excessive emotionality of the sign and the couple can find themselves set for a lasting, fulfilling relationship.
