The tables
Why the pair is rated this way
The Rabbit and the Goat sit four steps apart and belong to the same trine (三合), the wood trio they share with the Pig. Two members of a trine are read as a half harmony: they pull toward the same element even without the third.
The Rabbit is a wood sign and the Goat an earth sign. In the controlling cycle wood holds earth, so the Rabbit is read as the one who sets limits and the Goat 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 Goat rules the summer month that starts around Jul 7 and the hours from 1 pm to 3 pm.
For comparison, the Rabbit's harmony partner is the Dog and its trine partners are the Pig and the Goat; the Goat's harmony partner is the Horse and its trine partners are the Pig and the Rabbit.
Reading
In love, friendship and work
Traditionally the Rabbit is gentle, tactful and elegant, and the Goat is artistic, kind and sensitive. The Rabbit tends to bring kindness and calm and look for a peaceful home; the Goat tends to bring care and creativity and look for reassurance.
In love, trine partners tend to want the same things from life, so they tend to forgive each other's different styles more easily.
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 Goat (未), the compatibility calculator scores that check as half a plus, 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.
