Question
The man I have recently began dating was born on July 2, 1988. I was born on
July 9, 1991. Is there any way to make this relationship work?  

Answer
Hi Cynthia,

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

He was born during the year of the Earth Dragon, month of the Earth Horse and day of the Earth Horse.

From a Chinese Astrology perspective this match has about a 50% favorable compatibility rating, which is average. There's a 50-50 chance of it lasting and bringing you the happiness you seek.

Well the thing that stands out the most to me is there is little Water in your charts. This means communications could be a problem. So probably the most important thing is for each of you to make a special effort to improve your communications. Make it a point to find time to talk with each other. Share your thoughts.

For your part, you may need to make yourself more exciting, as he needs a strong, dynamic woman, and that includes the bedroom. Also, you may need to give him a lot of freedom. And, you should make sure you're in good shape, especially if there are sports or outdoor activities you can share with him.

For his part, he needs to control his temper. Also, he may need to make an extra effort to provide you the emotional support you need.
