The Four Challenges
Search the Most Challenging Matches in the Western and Chinese Zodiacs

Of course, there is no certainty in claiming that one energy match is "worse" than another. Combinations that are supposed to be challenging can turn out in practice to be as enriching as any relationship. Reputedly stellar matches can turn out to be nothing but trouble.

That said, each sign in the combined Western and Chinese zodiacs has four combinations that attract the most hard-to-handle energy on both the Western and Chinese sides.

Each combined sign (e.g., Scorpio Sheep) has only four of these troublesome matches (out of 144 possible matches in total). At Horizon Astrology, we call them the Four Challenges. Celebrity matches falling into the Four Challenges category provide some of the most famously turbulent relationships in history.

Use the search below to discover the Four Challenges, the four most challenging energy combinations for any combined Western and Chinese zodiac sign or birthdate.
