Question
If I am supposedly a wooden ox, born July 13 1985 at 12:10 AM and a female and my significant other is supposedly a water ox, born Jan 9th, 1974,and a female, what is the potential that we will stay together and or work thru our probs...or what types of things might we encounter and deal with?  Thanks

Answer
Hi Danielle,

You were born during the year of the Wood Ox, month of the Water Horse, day of the Water Ox and hour of the Water Rat.

Your significant other was born during the year of the Water Ox, month of the Wood Ox and day of the Metal Dog.

I apologize in advance for what is probably the least satisfying answer. From a Chinese astrology perspective this match has a 50% favorable rating, which means it has a 50-50 chance of lasting and bringing you the happiness you seek.

There are two things that stand out in your charts. First, we have a lot of Ox signs here. The Ox tends to be associated with stubbornness. You both need to work on developing a spirit of compromise and a willingness to let each other "win" from time to time.

Secondly, there isn't much Fire in either of your charts. Fire is associated with charisma and sexual attraction. While you can't change who you are, you could each upgrade your wardrobe a little and perhaps get a makeover. More than the average person, you each need to pay attention to dress and grooming.

There is one general recommendation i can make. Check out Shelly Wu's Chinese Sexual Astrology. There is a lot in it to both help achieve understanding of the other and enhance your sex life.
