Monkey compatibility is traditionally strongest with the Rat, the Dragon and the Snake and weakest with the Pig and the Tiger. Each of the twelve pairings below comes from the classical relations between the earthly branches, and each has its own page.
Trine — natural allies · 90%
Lively, witty and full of plans. They keep each other entertained for years.
At work: A sharp, resourceful team, excellent in business and negotiation.
Watch: Two schemers can outsmart each other if competition creeps in.
Trine — natural allies · 90%
Playful, clever and exciting — one of the Dragon's best traditional matches.
At work: A superb strategic partnership: the Dragon leads, the Monkey finds the clever route.
Watch: The Monkey's teasing can wound the Dragon's pride if it goes too far in public.
Six harmonies — secret friends · 88%
Intellectually exciting and attractive. Trust has to be built deliberately.
At work: A formidable strategic combination when they share a goal.
Watch: Secrecy and one-upmanship turning into suspicion.

Monkey & DogFun early on, then a question of trust. It lasts when the Monkey is transparent and the Dog relaxes enough to enjoy spontaneity.
Traditionally the Rat, the Dragon and the Snake: the trine partners share the Monkey's San He group and the secret friend fills in what it lacks.
The Tiger, six positions away — the classical clash. All the pairings tradition warns about: the Pig and the Tiger.
