Okay, so today I decided to dive into something a little different – sibling compatibility based on the Chinese zodiac. It’s something I’ve been curious about for a while, especially since my kids are always either best friends or at each other’s throats.
I started by grabbing a notebook and jotting down the birth years of my two kids. Let’s call them Alex and Ben. Gotta keep it simple, right?

Figuring Out Their Zodiac Signs
- First, I looked up Alex’s birth year. Turns out, Alex is a Dragon. Pretty cool, I guess.
- Then, I did the same for Ben. Ben’s a Snake. Okay, interesting…
Now, I needed to find some information about Dragon and Snake compatibility, particularly for siblings. I remembered I have some old books about Chinese Zodiac. I found my old books.
The Research Deep Dive
I scanned the pages and found some relevant descriptions.
So, the book basically said that Dragons (Alex) are energetic and confident, while Snakes (Ben) are intelligent and a bit mysterious. Apparently, as siblings, they can get along, but there might be some power struggles. The Dragon might want to be in charge, and the Snake might be a little more reserved and, well, sneaky. Sound familiar? Yep, definitely fits my kids sometimes!
Putting It All Together
Honestly, it wasn’t a super scientific experiment. I’m not claiming to be a zodiac expert now! But it was kind of fun to see if the descriptions matched up with my kids’ personalities and their relationship. And honestly? Some of it did seem to ring true.
I think the main takeaway for me is that understanding their different personality traits – whether it’s based on the zodiac or just good old observation – can help me understand why they clash sometimes, and maybe even help them navigate their differences a little better. Will I base all my parenting decisions on the Chinese zodiac now? Probably not. But it’s a fun little tool to have in the toolbox!
