Rabbit - Monkey Love Compatibility in Chinese Astrology

The Rabbit and Monkey are signs of the Chinese zodiac which share more differences than similarities as far as personality traits are concerned. Thus this pair may have to contend with more than the usual number of heartaches though they can also use their differences to complement each other in the relationship.

High Points of the Rabbit-Monkey love match

A love of socializing is perhaps one of the strongest reasons for attracting the Rabbit and Monkey to one another and even keeping them together. The Monkey is a master of the social situation, impressing people with their ingenuity, knowing the right things to say to the right people and on the whole, giving full expression to their far-ranging wit and sophistication. Apart from this, the Monkey is fashion-conscious and makes an attempt to turn out smart and appropriately for every social occasion. These traits together with the fact that the Monkey is a foodie as well and likes to cook and host, makes him/her a highly sociable character. Likewise one of the foremost traits of the Rabbit is his/her popularity in their social circle. This owes a great deal to the Rabbit’s intrinsic ability to get along with all kinds of people, their almost uncanny knack of putting people they meet at ease. Thus whether at a work or social environment, friends and acquaintances gravitate to the Rabbit’s gentle pleasing nature and their benign affability. Thus though the social disposition of each animal sign emerges from separate psychological compulsions, in the end both the Rabbit and Monkey love to be among mutual friends and like-minded people which can go a long way in promoting romantic compatibility.

Then again both the Rabbit and Monkey are attracted to varied interests and are sure to keep each other entertained in a relationship. The Monkey is especially known for his/her versatility - they can put their minds to almost any task under the sun, and that too with apparent equal ease and expertise. Even though lacking the Monkey’s wide-ranging resourcefulness, the Rabbit too is always on the lookout for variety in experiences and this makes them highly enthusiastic and interesting as a partner. Thus both partners in this romantic equation are likely to keep each other interested by offering ample amounts of stimulating experiences and activities.

The Monkey and Rabbit are again quite compatible because neither is given to excessive emotionality. Both Monkey and Rabbit are perfectly content to allow ample breathing space to each other and are not driven by intense feelings and passions. While the Goat might look for emotional intimacy from a partner and the Ox seek definite proof of unwavering loyalty, both Monkey and Rabbit are likely to let each other be. To others they might appear casual and emotionally  distant but with each other they know that there are no excessive emotional expectations and high standards of commitment to strive to.

Challenges of a Rabbit-Monkey love match

One of the most significant sources of trouble for this pair may rise from the Monkey’s excessive pride. The Monkey has an ego several times its size and does not respond well to being crossed or corrected which he/she will almost inevitably take as a personal attack. Though the Rabbit is one of the most understanding and adaptable of zodiac signs, he/she is also highly sensitive in nature. The Rabbit cannot bear the least amount of stress in life and will either run away from the difficult situation or get upset and depressed. Thus if the Rabbit has to bear the brunt of the Monkey’s ego repeatedly, the former may be too emotionally bruised to remain in the relationship and before long will be seeking a way out.

However the couple could face problems as they get on with their relationship. The Rabbit needs a peaceful and harmonious environment to bring out the best in her; as a result her Monkey partner’s excessive restlessness and impetuosity might not seem attractive for long. Add to this a Monkey’s tendency to stretch an argument and he might find his partner walking out of the door to soothe her frayed nerves.

Another hurdle that could this pair could face is an inability to address serious issues, should they affect the relationship. The Monkey is too restless to be concerned with feelings and emotions while the Rabbit has a natural abhorrence of bringing up unpleasant matters. Thus if finances need to be straightened or if the Monkey’s flirting is creating problems, the couple might find themselves drifting apart instead of facing facts.

Finally both the Rabbit and Monkey have a tendency to wander away in personal relationships. They are attracted to variety in experiences and when bored, are likely to given in to their natural curiosity so that what may have begun as only good-natured flirting with a member of the opposite sex may quickly lead to infidelity. This brings in an element of instability in the Rabbit-Monkey pairing and the two may feel a lack of belonging in the relationship.

In the end though, things may work out if only because of the pull of common friends and shared interests – and once the Rabbit and Monkey have found a way to anchor their relationship into something deeper.
