Question
Hi I was born on the 19 August 1980 and was wondering what my romantic future may look like. I recently met someone who was born 9 October 1984. Not sure if it will lead to anything?
Thanks Brendon

Answer
Hi Brendon,

You were born during the year of the Metal Monkey, month of the Wood Monkey, and day of the Wood Rat.

The other person was born during the year of the Wood Rat, month of the Wood Dog and day of the Earth Tiger.

From a Chinese Astrology perspective this match has a 59% favorable, compatibility rating. That's good but nothing special.

Normally signs four years apart are outstanding matches in Chinese Astrology. There are two factors in your situation, however, that make yours less so.

Your animal sign direct (year-year, month-month, day-day) are much more favorable than 59%. Unfortunately the elements of your signs are in a destructive relationship with each other. What this means is there may be a lot of mutual understanding and personality compatibility, but you may not be lucky for each other.

The second difficulty is your partner's Tiger day sign. Your two Monkey signs are the worst possible match for that Tiger and could drive your partner crazy over time. The Monkey tends to like innocent games and getting into their partner's head. The Tiger, on the other hand, can't stand that. You would do well to remember this when interacting with your partner.

There is a fair amount of Wood in your two charts, so there should be sufficient willingness to compromise and empathize with each other. Also, Rat-Monkey year combination is outstanding. Your partner is likely to be very charming and exciting. Plenty to like in this match.

Yes, it could lead to something. There will, however, be lots of sparks. If you both desire an intense relationship, this match is for you. It could be a wild and fun ride. If either of you seeks a peaceful relationship, this is likely to just be a great fling rather than a long term, fulfilling match.
