Rat and Dragon have really solid teamwork when your goals are aligned
In dating, the Dragon usually plans the dates and sets the mood, while the Rat goes along with it. At first it feels easy, but when special occasions come around and the Rat keeps adjusting to fit in, a subtle resentment can creep in. If you get in the habit of talking about what you both enjoyed after your dates, this will go so much further. This pairing really shines when you're both chasing the same dream.
In marriage, the Dragon naturally draws the big picture while the Rat takes care of the details. Household stuff and finances flow this way too, but the Rat can eventually get worn out from always going along. For big things like parenting plans or retirement prep, make sure you sit down together to decide. As long as you're heading in the same direction, this couple becomes a truly dependable team.
When you're doing group projects or teamwork, the Dragon sets the direction and the Rat executes, so the results come out great. Even with travel planning, if the Dragon sketches out the big itinerary and the Rat handles the details, it works perfectly. The key to making it last is just checking in with the Rat's thoughts every now and then.

Get Your Exact CompatibilityYour basic compatibility is pretty good. It flows naturally with the Dragon taking the lead and the Rat going along with it, but you'll want to check in with the Rat's feelings regularly to make it last.
When you're aligned on the big picture, you two move in perfect sync as a couple. The thing is, if the Dragon gets into the habit of making major decisions alone, it can lead to hurt feelings down the line.
The Rat tends to hold things in until they explode, so it's better to check in first before emotions build up. Having conversations where you realign on your goals is really effective for making up.
