Are Snake and Dog compatible?

Yes — Snake and Dog have a 63% overall compatibility rating, considered Fair match. Their relationship is shaped by a Neutral pairing bond in traditional Chinese astrology.

How is Chinese zodiac compatibility calculated?

We analyze the earthly branch relations between two signs — San He (trine alliance), Liu He (six harmony), Liu Chong (clash), Liu Hai (harm), and Xing (punishment) — then adjust for the fixed five-element association of each animal. Romance, friendship, and business scores weight these factors differently.

Does birth date matter or just the zodiac year?

Your Chinese zodiac sign follows the lunar calendar year, which begins at Lunar New Year — not January 1. If you were born in January or early February, use the birth date mode so we convert your Gregorian date to the correct lunar zodiac year.
