Rat/Sagittarius and Dog/Capricorn meet at 72-77%, a cross pairing of the picaresque traveler and the buttoned-up traditionalist. One is always traveling and never arriving; the other has been quietly dutiful so long the years have flown past.
Rat/Sagittarius is candid, adventuresome, and allergic to pretension; Dog/Capricorn is dutiful, deeply loved by its family, and admittedly overdue to live a little. The Rat is precisely the loosening agent: no hidden agendas, plenty of open road, and enough charm to talk the Dog out of its staid routines.
In bed, Rat/Sagittarius is the loosening agent the dutiful Dog is overdue to meet: candid, adventuresome, allergic to pretension, and charming enough to talk the buttoned-up Capricorn out of its staid routines. The Dog, once coaxed, brings loyal, long-banked warmth. The risk runs both ways: too much domesticity and the Rat's itchy feet twitch toward the door, too much gallivanting and the Dog retreats into disapproving quiet.
The Rat lays its cards on the table; the Dog is taciturn and intimidates others into unwonted silence without meaning to. The Rat, luckily, does not intimidate easily, and its plain talk slowly teaches the Dog that speaking up is safe.
Friction shows when the Rat's itchy feet meet the Dog's staid ways: too much domesticity and the Rat may bolt, too much gallivanting and the Dog retreats into disapproving quiet. Candy and flowers, sincerely offered, defuse more than either expects.
Dog/Capricorn learns to shake what it always had before the years fly past unspent; Rat/Sagittarius learns that one loyal home base is not a cage. Each is the other's overdue prescription, filled at last.
At 72-77%, Rat/Sagittarius and Dog/Capricorn are good chemistry of the opposites-medicine kind. The Rat must stay, the Dog must play, and both are worth it.
