Answer
Hi Charles,

The male was born during the year of the Wood Ox, month of the Wood Rooster, day of the Water Horse and hour of the Water Tiger.

The female was born during the year of the Fire Rabbit, month of the Wood Snake, day of the Water Rat and hour of the Metal Ox.

First let me say overall this is a good but not great match.

Strengths: They have a lot in common, both having two signs from the Ox-Snake-Rooster compatibility group. Their elements are complementary, that is, no one element is lacking or appears to an excess in the two charts. The lady probably has plenty of charisma (Fire) and the man a good heart (Wood)and willing to make compromises as needed. Both charts show positive indicators of family happiness.

Weaknesses: The day signs, Horse and Rat clash badly. There will thus be times they react exactly the opposite to a situation, possibly leading to a misunderstanding or clash of wills. The lady has a lot of Fire, which could be indicative of a hot temper. The man does not have a lot of Earth in his chart, indicating a lack of practicality. Each has an Ox sign, so there is the potential for stubbornness. And, his Rooster and her Rat are likely to go at it occasionally, as both have it in them to argue and nit pick.

One thing thing that might need attention. The lady is a Rabbit. They need plenty of stroking, i.e., emotional support. None of the male's signs are particularly well suited for that activity. So, the male needs to make an extra effort to satisfy the lady in that area.

In conclusion this match probably has at least its fair share of bumps along the road but is most likely worth continuing from the perspective of both parties.
