Compatibility / Monkey and Pig

Monkey and Pig compatibility

Steady match

The Pig is also called the Boar.

Monkey and Pig have no harmony or clash between them, and they tend to get along easily. The Monkey is quick, curious and playful; the Pig is generous, easygoing and happy to go along. The Pig enjoys the Monkey's schemes, and the Monkey enjoys an audience that laughs.

The traditional rules say nothing special about these two signs: no harmony pulls them together and no clash pushes them apart. That leaves more room for the actual people than for the zodiac. Pairs like this often grow by learning each other's rhythm rather than sharing one from the start.

In love

Warm, fun and low on conflict. The Pig gives the Monkey affection without conditions and the Monkey keeps the Pig entertained. The risk is that the Monkey takes the Pig's good nature for granted, and the Pig lets it slide too long. The Pig should speak up early; the Monkey will listen.

As friends

Easy company. The Monkey plans the night out and the Pig makes sure everyone eats. Lots of laughter, few arguments.

At work

The Monkey solves the problems and the Pig keeps the clients happy. Good in sales, hospitality and creative work. Neither is the natural finisher, so agree who closes things off.

One tip for this pair
