Bias Match

Rabbit and Dragon compatibility

The Rabbit (卯, yin wood) and the Dragon (辰, yang earth) in the Chinese zodiac: how the classical tables pair them, and why.

△ Harm

The tables

Why the pair is rated this way

The Rabbit and the Dragon are one of the six harms (六害). The reason is in the tables: the Rabbit's harmony partner is the Dog, which the Dragon clashes with, and the Dragon's harmony partner is the Rooster, which the Rabbit clashes with. Each one stands in the way of the other's closest bond.

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

The Rabbit rules the spring month that starts around Mar 6 and the hours from 5 am to 7 am; the Dragon rules the spring month that starts around Apr 5 and the hours from 7 am to 9 am.

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

Reading

In love, friendship and work

Traditionally the Rabbit is gentle, tactful and elegant, and the Dragon is confident, ambitious and magnetic. The Rabbit tends to bring kindness and calm and look for a peaceful home; the Dragon tends to bring big ideas and look for admiration.

In love, a harm pair is read as one where small slights pile up, so plain talk early tends to work better than quietly keeping score.

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 Rabbit (卯) and Dragon (辰), 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.
