Question
I appreciate your input into mental/spiritual stability and hope. I seek advice.

I am born May 4, 1984 (wood rat and Taurus). The person i'm interested in is Jan 29, 1986 (wood ox, Aquarius). Unfortunately, I don't know the hours of births.
Based on your readings, Eastern and Western horoscopes please :), how compatible are we?

Thank you so much.
Namaste

Answer
Hi Ryan,

You were born during the year of the Wood Rat, month of the Earth Snake and day of the Earth Dog.

The other person was born during the year of the Wood Ox, month of the Earth Ox and day of the Water Rooster.

From a Chinese astrology perspective this match has a 58% compatibility rating, which is good. This match is far from perfect but it has better than a 50-50 chance of lasting and bringing you the happiness you seek.

There are two things in your charts that could present problems. First, your partner has a Rooster and two, Ox signs. This kind of person is probably not easy to get along with. The Rooster tends to be argumentative and the Ox stubborn, especially with two Ox signs.

Second, you two don't have much Water in your charts. Communications, so necessary to maintain a healthy relationship, could be difficult for you two.

You will have to evaluate your relationship to make sure you have effectively dealt with these issues. If you can communicate, and if you can handle her strong, sometimes perhaps even abusive, personality, this match is definitely worth pursuing. She is likely to be a strong, solid partner. You two could enjoy happy times and success together.
