Compatibility / Ox and Monkey
Ox and Monkey compatibility
The Ox is also called the Buffalo.
Ox and Monkey have no harmony and no clash between them. The Ox is steady, patient and likes a plan; the Monkey is quick, playful and likes to improvise. The Monkey can lighten the Ox and the Ox can ground the Monkey, if neither treats the other's way as wrong.
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
The Ox is amused by the Monkey and the Monkey feels safe with the Ox. Trouble starts when the Monkey's jokes land on something the Ox takes seriously, or the Ox's routine feels like a cage to the Monkey. The Monkey should keep its promises, and the Ox should allow a few surprises.
As friends
The Monkey talks the Ox into it; the Ox makes sure it actually happens. Unlikely, and often long-lasting.
At work
The Monkey solves the problem and the Ox builds the solution properly. Strong when the Monkey is given the puzzles and the Ox the delivery. Agree a rule for changes, because the Monkey will want to tweak what the Ox has finished.
One tip for this pair
Monkeys: finish what you start before the next idea. Oxen: try the next idea once.
