Opposite animals: strong attraction, strong friction
The Rabbit and the Rooster sit directly opposite each other in the Chinese zodiac (Liu Chong). Opposite animals often have needs, speeds and priorities that pull in different directions: one wants to move while the other wants to stay, one wants freedom while the other looks for security. So the relationship can be lively and at times tiring. Yet opposition also creates attraction; you have a lot to learn from each other.
Try to understand rather than to win; shared rules and open conversations keep this relationship in balance.
