Question
I was born I believe at 12:09 p.m. (EST) on April 3, 1978 and my boyfriend was born on September 4, 1976.  I'm sorry I don't know what time though.  Any thoughts on astrological compatibility?

Answer
Hi Angela,

You were born during the year of the Earth Horse, month of the Wood Rabbit, day of the Wood Sheep and hour of the Water Horse.

He was born during the year of the Fire Dragon, month of the Fire Rooster, and day of the Earth Sheep.

From a Chinese astrology perspective this match has a 57% favorable compatibility record, which is good. It has better than a 50-50 chance of lasting and bringing you the happiness you seek.

This is not a great match, but it is worth pursuing. One concern I have is that your boyfriend has no Wood or Water in his chart. Although he is likely to be fun and charismatic, he may not be willing to make the compromises needed to maintain a healthy relationship nor have sufficient communications skills.  He might also lack flexibility and be rather pushy and aggressive with a hot temper.

If you are sure he has overcome his element imbalance, you can go ahead with confidence. If not, you need to keep your eyes open for other options.
