Question
Hi Bill,

My birthday is April 7, 1984 and the guy i'm interested in has his birthday on September 21, 1981. How compatible are we?

Thanks in advance.

Answer
Hi Jennifer,

You were born during the year of the Wood Rat, month of the Earth Dragon and day of the Metal Sheep.

He was born during the year of the Metal Rooster, month of the Fire Rooster and day of the Water Tiger.

From a Chinese Astrology perspective this match has a 44% compatibility rating, which is below average. It has less than a 50-50 chance of lasting and bringing you the happiness you seek.

To be honest there are three problems that make this match difficult.

First, you have two signs from the Rat-Dragon-Monkey compatibility group and he two from the Ox-Snake-Rooster group. Because of this you'd both be a lot happier with someone whose year sign is from your group.

Second, he has two Rooster signs. That sign is the one most likely to argue, nag and criticize. With two of them, you might often find him hard to live with. It's true the Rooster man can dress and look great, tend to be highly organized and competent, but that only goes so far.

Third, there is a lot of Metal in your charts, the element of stubbornness. With incompatible signs that means plenty of clashes of will.

To be honest, you both can do a lot better.
