Question
Hi there! I am a Cancer Fire Tiger born July 7 1986 at 3:59 pm and I met a really really great guy on e-harmony and we are hitting it off so well. I cant remember the last time I liked someone so much. There is one problem and I am wondering if I should even pursue this guy mostly because of the aweful reports and such that I have read online. Everything I have read says that we are destined to fail miserably. He was born August 13 1980 making him a Leo Metal Monkey. I would like to add the fact that we both have a cat in our zodiac. Me being the Tiger and him being the Leo. Im not sure if this has any relevance but there are cat-like qualities that we seem to share if that makes any sense. Please help! I want to know if I should give this a go or leave it alone.
Thanks so much!

Elise

Answer
Hi Elise,

You were born during the year of the Fire Tiger, month of the Wood Sheep and day of the Water Rat.

He was born during the year of the Metal Monkey, month of the Wood Monkey and day of the Earth Horse.

From a Chinese Astrology perspective this match has a 9% favorable, compatibility rating, which is extremely low. To be honest, there isn't much chance of this relationship lasting and bringing you the happiness you seek.

He's a double Monkey, which means he's likely to be into mind games that will drive you crazy. The positive is he's probably very charming and witty and enjoys to make you laugh/happy.

By the way, that 9% is based on all three of your signs. His Horse day sign is also the worst possible match for your Rat.

It's interesting, looking at "cross signs", that his Horse sign is a great match for your Tiger. This exemplifies my what will be my conclusion. This relationship looks like a classic case of fatal attraction. He has some great qualities and is very appealing to you, but in the long run he is likely to weigh on your mind and cause you distress. This is also highlighted by thoughts of your Sheep sign. You have a gentle side that requires stroking and emotional support. None of his signs are compatible with Sheep, so he is not likely to satisfy your needs in that area.

You would probably be better off with someone born in the year of the Pig or Dragon.
