Snake and Dog Compatibility

♥♥♡♡♡Worth the effort

The wise, careful Snake meets the loyal, honest Dog.

The Snake and the Dog together

Where you shine

Honest opinions from the Dog and thoughtful answers from the Snake let even heavy worries be talked through openly. As these no-pretense conversations add up, trust grows between them.

Where you bump heads

The Snake's private streak can look like secrecy to the Dog, and needless doubts may start to sprout. Sharing a bit more about plans and schedules helps the Dog feel secure and worry far less.

Your energies

The Snake's Fire feeds the Dog's Earth, so the Snake tends to give and the Dog tends to gain strength.

The Snake is 巳 and the Dog is 戌 among the 12 earthly branches. The Snake and the Dog are an uneasy pair (wonjin): each tends to misread the other.

In points, the Snake and the Dog start from 3 (uneasy pair −1.5) and end at 1.5, which is level 2 of 5.

Snake and Dog as friends, partners and coworkers

  • Friendship

    Small hurt feelings can pile up without a clear reason. Clear up misunderstandings right away and look past the tone to what was meant.

  • Love and marriage

    You are drawn together, yet your signals cross easily. Talking honestly before feelings build up protects the relationship.

  • Work and business

    Your timing can be slightly off. Share notes and schedules in writing, and misunderstandings drop sharply.
