Question
Hi Bill,

My birthday is April 7, 1984 (7:30pm MST). What is my compatibility with someone born April 4, 1976? How about someone born June 6, 1985?

Thanks!

Jennifer

Answer
Hi Jennifer,

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

1976 was born during the year of the Fire Dragon, month of the Water Dragon and day of the Fire Dog.

1985 was born during the year of the Wood Ox, month of the Metal Snake and day of the Fire Rat.

According to Chinese Astrology your compatibility with 1976 is 52% and with 1985 55%, not much difference to be honest. Both are acceptable but nothing special. They each have slightly better than a 50-50 chance of lasting and bringing you the happiness you seek.

The 76 guy has an internal conflict Dog with his double Dragon. He could have troubles with self esteem and, or, knowing what he wants as Dog and Dragon are polar opposites. For example the Dragon is optimistic and the Dog pessimistic. This can lead to lots of confusion and misunderstanding on your part as you never know which side of him will appear at any given moment.

The 85 guy has better element balance with you. There will still be lots of clashes of will with him, too, as his Ox year sign is a horrible match for your Dragon and Sheep signs. So, your overall average of 55% masks some significant difficulties.

To be honest, you would be better off with someone born during the year of the Monkey, four years older or eight years younger than you. Both your current matches are worth pursuing, but you should also keep yourself open to other opportunities with a better chance of bringing you the happiness you seek.
