Hi Chann,

You were born during the year of the Metal Monkey, month of the Earth Rabbit and day of the Fire Snake.

He was born during the year of the Water Ox, month of the Water Dog and day of the Water Horse.

From a Chinese Astrology perspective, this match has a 46% favorable, compatibility rating. It thus has a slightly below average chance of lasting and bringing you the happiness you seek.

It can work if both parties remain committed, are willing to make the necessary compromises,  and continue to make a big effort to overcome problems that will occur from time to time.

Here are a few possible ones. He may not provide you all the emotional support you require. You may find he is stubborn more than you'd like. And, you may have some difficulty with communications. This last might mean you are like ships passing in the night, since communications is his strength.
