Bias Match

Dragon and Pig compatibility

The Dragon (辰, yang earth) and the Pig (亥, yin water) in the Chinese zodiac: how the classical tables pair them, and why.

· Neutral

The tables

Why the pair is rated this way

The Dragon and the Pig are five steps apart on the circle of twelve, one short of facing each other. They are not a harmony, a trine, a clash or a harm pair, so the classical tables call the pair neutral: nothing special pulls them together or apart.

The Dragon is an earth sign and the Pig a water sign. In the controlling cycle earth dams water, so the Dragon is read as the one who sets limits and the Pig as the one who pushes against them.

The Dragon rules the spring month that starts around Apr 5 and the hours from 7 am to 9 am; the Pig rules the winter month that starts around Nov 7 and the hours from 9 pm to 11 pm.

For comparison, the Dragon's harmony partner is the Rooster and its trine partners are the Monkey and the Rat; the Pig's harmony partner is the Tiger and its trine partners are the Rabbit and the Goat.

Reading

In love, friendship and work

Traditionally the Dragon is confident, ambitious and magnetic, and the Pig is generous, easygoing and sincere. The Dragon tends to bring big ideas and look for admiration; the Pig tends to bring warmth and look for good company.

In love, the zodiac neither helps nor blocks this pair, so the rest of each chart, and the two people, decide how it goes.

As friends or co-workers they tend to keep each other in check, which can sharpen the work as long as neither tries to run the other.

Your pair

Check two birth years

A zodiac year starts in late January or February, not on January 1: Chinese New Year calendars switch at Lunar New Year, and saju switches at Lichun, around February 4. If you were born in January or early February, you may belong to the year before.

Beyond the birth year

On Bias Match the animal that counts most is not the birth year but the day branch, the animal in each person's day pillar. If two people's day branches are Dragon (辰) and Pig (亥), the compatibility calculator scores that check as zero, neither plus nor minus, next to five other checks.

The text is fixed sentence templates filled in with the classical relation tables built into the Bias Match engine; no AI model generates or rewrites it. For entertainment only: the zodiac describes old patterns, not what will happen between two people.
