QUESTION: Hi,
Thanks for your site. I was wondering what the compatibility was for me (born 24 June 1986 at 23:44 Indian Standard Time which is UTC+5.30 and no daylight savings) and someone born on November 12 , Sendai, Japan at 00:41.
I would be grateful if you would please comment on strengths and weaknesses and your opinion on whether the relationship is favourable.
Thanks again!

QUESTION: Hi, the year of birth is 1986 for the person born in Japan. Thanks again!:)

Answer
Hi Simran,

You were born during the year of the Fire Tiger, month of the Wood Horse, day of the Metal Rat and hour of the Fire Rat. (by the way, your Chinese birth date is actually the 25th, as the astrological day begins at 11pm).

The other person was born during the year of the Fire Tiger, month of the Earth Pig, day of the Metal Monkey and hour of the Fire Rat.

From a Chinese Astrology perspective this match has a 55% favorability rating. It is good but not great and has a fair chance of lasting and bringing you the happiness you seek.

The best thing about it is you are both likely to find each other charismatic, fun and interesting---never a dull moment. The worst, with two Tiger and two Rat signs, is there is likely to be a lot of one-upmanship, i.e., struggles for dominance/trying to get your way.
Both Rat and Tiger are competitive and aggressive.

Your great strengths are Fire (dynamic, charismatic) and Water (flexibilty and communications skills). Your weakness is Earth, lack of practicality. Someone in this relationship (or better both) will have to make the effort to handle the routine, administrative chores so necessary for modern living. Neither of you is likely to enjoy doing it.

As to whether you should pursue this relationship.... Well, if the excitement is worth the occasional fight, and there is sufficient practicality between the two of you, it is worth pursuing. It won't be easy to find someone else as fun and dynamic and, yet, still reasonably compatible with you (same goes for the other person).

There will be great times, but never think this relationship is easy.
