Snake/Capricorn and Rooster/Sagittarius pair at 80-85%, a cross match that works better than it should on paper. The lord of the manor meets the cheerful truth-teller, and the traditional Snake finds the Rooster's honesty oddly reassuring.
Snake/Capricorn courts formally, expensive taste and all, with nothing less than a gigantic church wedding in mind; Rooster/Sagittarius brings incurable optimism and a heart that gives freely. The Snake's aristocratic reserve melts under affection that plainly hides nothing, and the Rooster likes a partner whose word is a contract.
Rooster/Sagittarius cannot tell a lie that sounds like a lie, and Snake/Capricorn, a connoisseur of discretion, finds that both alarming and refreshing. Talk is candid on one side, considered on the other; misunderstandings are rare because nothing stays hidden long.
Friction shows when the Rooster's give-to-everyone charitable streak collides with the Snake's distaste for modern laxity and careful guarding of the estate. The Snake wants standards; the Rooster wants openness. Money and manners are the recurring battlegrounds.
Snake/Capricorn teaches the Rooster the mannered anodyne of the white lie and how to protect its giving nature; Rooster/Sagittarius airs out the manor and reminds the Snake that warmth costs nothing. Both end up richer and lighter.
At 80-85%, Snake/Capricorn and Rooster/Sagittarius show strong compatibility: tradition anchored by honesty, optimism steadied by standards, with only manners and money left to negotiate.
