Question
I'm a fire tiger (may 27 1986) and she's a fire snake (march 20 1977). How compatible are we?
Thanks ^_^

Answer
Hi Maurice,

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

She was born during the year of the Fire Snake, month of the Water Rabbit and day of the Fire Rat.

From a Chinese Astrology perspective this match has a 33% favorable, compatibility rating, which is below average. The odds are less than 50-50 that it will last and bring you the happiness you seek.

That's kind of a shame. You are probably both exciting, vibrant personalities. There will probably be lots of fireworks in this relationship, both good and bad. Fun times. You're both likely to be charismatic and attractive, maybe drawn to each other, like magnets.

Unfortunately there's also a good chance sparks are going to fly from time to time, possibly more than one of you is willing to tolerate. Your Snake has some very attractive signs, so I think this relationship might still be worth pursuing.

You're both Fire signs, so it will be important to control your tempers. If you can do that and respect each others' differences, this match can work. It's likely to be quite a challenge, but from your signs I see you are both worth putting out extra effort to make things work.

By the way, your best match is probably someone born in the year of the Horse (1978 or 1990).
