Question
Hi,

I found your prior analysis quite enlightening, and wanted to ask you a compatibility question.  

I was born 7/5/77, and the boy I'm interested in was born 8/27/76.  Is there a possibility that this pairing could work?  
I was born at 7:03 am, and his birth time is unknown at the moment.  

Any insight would be intriguing.

Answer
Hi Lauren,

You were born during the year of the Fire Snake, month of the Fire Horse and day of the Water Pig.

He was born during the year of the Fire Dragon, month of the Fire Rooster and day of the Metal Pig.

From a Chinese astrology perspective, this match has a 63% favorable compatibility rating, which is very good. The short answer to your question is yes.

On the other hand i do see two, potential problems. There is a lot of Fire and almost no Wood in your charts. You could both have a temper while neither has much of a spirit of willingness to compromise. When you have the occasional blow up, they are likely to be big ones.

This is a powerful match. When it's good it could be very good. If it goes bad, however, the consequences would be extremely bad.

It is in the nature of both your year and month signs to relish if not seek these kind of challenges, so you might as well go for it. All i'm saying is, before you commit yourself fully, make sure you both exhibit a give and take attitude, a compromising spirit. Wait until you experience a couple of those flare ups, and see how you handle them before you make your final decision.

If they make you feel uncomfortable too much, as good as this match is, it may not be worth the headache. On the other hand, if you can make it work ... wow.

Good luck to you.
