Goat - Rooster Love Compatibility in Chinese Astrology

These two signs are quite compatible romantically even though their unique personality traits can create some differences. Overall Goat and Rooster are well-poised for a lasting relationship once they agree to be a little more understanding of each other’s motivations.

High points of a Goat-Rooster love match

The basic cause of optimism as far as Goat-Rooster love compatibility is concerned is the fact that both signs love to please others. In the Goat this takes the form of a caring and affectionate nature which is also deeply attuned to what a partner may be feeling or thinking. The Rooster at the same time is well known for their solicitous natures which find great joy and satisfaction in being of help to others. In fact, had the Goat been allied to a Horse or Monkey partner, the former would have found him/herself doing most of the giving in the relationship. Thus when a Goat and Rooster have each other for partners, they can be assured of a warm and supportive relationship. And though the Goat is more family-oriented of the two, the Rooster is also very protective of his/her loved ones.

Then again both signs have no attraction for a jet-setting social life. Unlike a Dragon or Horse, they do not need to put themselves in the center of attention and action all the time. Both the Goat and Rooster are happy to be around just a few close friends and family members instead of making new connections and meeting varied people all the while; This does away with the complications that are bound to arise in a relationship where one partner wants to go out and party while the other would rather stay at home.

A common love of home is yet another factor that could bring the partners closer; while the Goat loves his/her creature comforts and domestic pleasures like good food and fine wines, the Rooster takes immense pride in keeping his/her house neat and well-maintained. However the focus of the Rooster’s attentions is more on tidiness and practical efficiency instead of external beauty. Even then the two partners can complement each other in the domestic sphere – while the Rooster will ensure that the house runs like a well-oiled machine, the Goat will make sure it is also comfortable and pretty.

In fact the potential for a complementary relationship is also true of other areas in the couple’s life. While the practical and orderly personality of the Rooster will see to it that the family is financially secure, he/she lacks the ability to respond in an emotional way. It is here that the Goat will bring in his/her own contribution to the relationship by anchoring it in a sense of emotional belonging and togetherness.

Challenges of a Goat-Rooster love match

However the Goat-Rooster pairing might encounter hurdles because of their respective temperaments. The Goat is rather emotional; they tend to experience events and relationships according to the emotions roused within them. The Rooster on the other hand is more practical and motivated by a utilitarian mindset. The Rooster believes that the best evidence of commitment to the relationship lies not so much writing a love poem for the beloved but in their ability to fulfill all responsibilities towards a partner and provide material security. This conflict between the emotional and rational halves is bound to create problems in a relationship and the only way in which the two can continue together is to imbibe a little of the other’s values.

The Rooster is well known for being a perfectionist and this desire for being the best sometimes makes her less tolerant of other’s imperfections. The Goat on the other hand possesses an extremely sensitive soul and even the slightest hint of criticism from a loved one can upset him/her deeply. Also there is an essential difference in their approach to life. The Goat is laid back and likes a relaxed pace of life. He/she prefers domestic tasks or white-collar jobs to those that require a great deal of hard work. Also the Goat has little desire to venture out of the familiar zone and has even less ambitions to be rich or famous. As a perfectionist him/herself, the Rooster will have a very hard time understanding a personality as the Goat’s and how one can simply be late for an appointment or not complete a task on time. It is in the nature of the Rooster to seek an orderly and productive life - they despise chaos and need to have every second of their lives scheduled in order to maximize efficiency. Such a lifestyle may on the other hand seem unnecessarily strict and arid to a comfort-loving and easy-going sign as the Goat.

In order to bridge such ingrained differences, it is essential that both partners understand and respond to different ways of seeking validation in life and love. After all, both the Goat and Rooster are sincere and extremely dependable. Neither of them is prone to impetuous wanderings as the Horse or given to the mysterious detachment of the Tiger. Each knows that love is for keeps and their innately caring natures will make this a supportive as well as lasting relationship.
