Rat/Pisces and Dog/Gemini meet at 69-74%, a cross pairing of the nesting half-of-a-team and the perpetual wanderer. One wants a permanent partner at the kitchen table; the other is out scouring the surface of the earth.
Rat/Pisces prefers life as one of a two-person team and holds marriage in high favor; Dog/Gemini roams on a predictable pattern, avoiding the unpleasant, and demands a lover who shares all. The good news: the Rat's soft sweet side, shown only to its closest intimates, is exactly the full sharing this Dog requires.
The Rat's Piscean powers of perception defuse situations before they start, a gift in any household; the Dog talks best in motion, on walks and drives. Standing still for hard subjects is the Dog's weak spot, so the Rat raises things mid-stride.
Friction is geographic. The homebody Rat wants the nest occupied; the Dog's endless peregrinations empty it. Add the Rat's jealous streak, a nod to its Rat heritage, and every trip can look like escape even when it is only exercise.
Dog/Gemini learns that the indescribable thing it seeks may be sitting at home wearing slippers; Rat/Pisces learns to run part of the course alongside instead of waiting curmudgeonly by the door. Meeting mid-route is the art.
At 69-74%, Rat/Pisces and Dog/Gemini are good chemistry stretched across a doorstep. If the Rat travels a little and the Dog returns a lot, it works.
