“One of the four great triangles, and the strongest tie the lunar wheel has to offer.”
Rat and Dragon make a triangle of affinity in the Chinese zodiac, scoring 92 out of 100. That is the tie between the two signs themselves, before anything else about either person is taken into account.
The Reading · Triangle of Affinity
Rat and Dragon are tied by San He, the three harmonies.
The four trines group the animals who want the same things out of a life. You arrive at conclusions in the same order, you back each other without being asked, and you tend to be the two people in a group project who quietly get it done while everyone else debates.
Being this aligned makes it easy to close the circle. Two people who agree on everything can talk each other out of every outside opinion worth hearing.
In the controlling cycle earth checks water, so Dragon tends to be the brake on Rat. Useful in small doses, exhausting as a daily arrangement.
Both yang: outward, fast, and expressive, with nobody assigned to the quiet half of the room.
