Monkey Horse Compatibility: Are They a Good Match?

Well, let’s talk about this Monkey and Horse thing, you know, like them animals in the Chinese calendar or somethin’. I heard some folks say it’s about whether they get along, like if they was people.

Now, the Horse, that critter’s full of beans, always jumpin’ around, can’t sit still for a minute. Always gotta be doin’ somethin’, goin’ somewhere. Reminds me of my grandson, always fidgetin’ at the dinner table. And the Monkey? Smart as a whip, they say. Always playin’ tricks, always got somethin’ up their sleeve. Like that fella down the road who sells them watches, you know the one, always smilin’ but you never quite sure if he’s tellin’ the truth.

So, you put these two together, the Horse and the Monkey, and whatcha get? Some say it’s a good match, some say not so much. I reckon it depends. They both like to have a good time, that’s for sure. Always lookin’ for fun, always on the go. They ain’t gonna be sittin’ at home watchin’ the grass grow, that’s for certain.

• They say the Horse gets along good with the Sheep, the Tiger, and the Dog. Don’t ask me why, that’s just what they say. Maybe the Sheep calms the Horse down a bit, you know, like a good cup of tea after a long day. And the Tiger? Well, maybe they just like to run around together. As for the Dog, everybody likes a good dog, ain’t that the truth?
• But the Monkey, they say, don’t get along so good with the Tiger or the Pig. Too different, I guess. The Pig likes to take it easy, while the Monkey’s always up to somethin’. Like me and my neighbor, she likes to sit on the porch and knit, but I gotta be out in the garden, pullin’ weeds or somethin’. We still get along though, just gotta understand each other, you know?

Now, when you talk about a Horse man and a Monkey woman, they say it’s excitin’. Full of potential, they say. I guess that means they’ll have a lot of laughs, a lot of adventures. But they also gotta be careful, you know. Too much excitement can wear a body out. Like that time I went to the county fair, rode all the rides, ate all the fried food, came home and slept for two days straight.

The Monkey and the Horse, they both like new things. They get bored easy. That’s what I heard. So, they gotta keep things interesting, gotta keep each other on their toes. Like that couple down the street, always travelin’ somewhere new, always tryin’ somethin’ different. Keeps ‘em young, I reckon.

Some folks say they’re a good match because they understand each other. They both like to be social. They both like to have fun. They both like to be the center of attention sometimes, you know? Like them two birds that always sit on the telephone wire, chirpin’ away, makin’ a big fuss.

But then again, some folks say they’re too much alike. Too much energy, too much goin’ on. They might get tired of each other, they say. Like havin’ two roosters in the same hen house, always struttin’ around, always crowin’. Ain’t gonna be much peace, that’s for sure. But you know, people talk a lot. You can’t always listen to what people say. Gotta figure things out for yourself.

I heard that in marriage, a Horse goes well with a Sheep, Tiger or Rabbit. They say those matches make for a good life together. Lots of respect, lots of carin’. That’s important, you know. You gotta respect your partner, gotta care for ‘em. Like tendin’ to a garden, you gotta water it, gotta weed it, gotta give it sunshine if you want it to grow.

So, what’s the bottom line with this Monkey and Horse business? I guess it’s like any relationship. It takes work. It takes understanding. It takes compromise. You gotta be willin’ to give and take. You gotta be willin’ to put in the effort. And you gotta have a little bit of luck, too. Like plantin’ seeds, you can do everything right, but sometimes the weather just ain’t on your side.

But if the Monkey and the Horse can learn to work together, if they can learn to appreciate each other’s strengths and accept each other’s weaknesses, well, they might just have a pretty good time. They might just have a long and happy life together. Like them old folks down the road, been married for fifty years, still holdin’ hands, still smilin’ at each other. That’s what it’s all about, ain’t it?

So, if you’re a Monkey or a Horse, or if you’re thinkin’ about gettin’ involved with one, just remember what I said. It ain’t all about the stars or the signs or whatever. It’s about the people. It’s about the connection. It’s about the love. And that’s somethin’ you can’t always predict, no matter how much you study them horoscopes or whatnot.

At the end of the day, it’s all just a bunch of talk, ain’t it? You gotta live your life, gotta make your own choices. Gotta follow your heart, that’s what I always say.
