Answer
Hi Pooja,

You were born during the year of the Fire Snake, month of the Earth Monkey, day of the Wood Rat and hour of the Water Monkey.

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

From a Chinese Astrology perspective this match has a 43% compatibility rating, which is below average. You two will both have to work hard and make a lot of compromises for this relationship to last and bring you the happiness you seek.

Unfortunately there isn't a lot of Wood in your two charts. Wood is the element most closely associated with making compromises.

Since you're both Fire Snakes, there is also a strong possibility of a lot of one-upmanship, that is each trying to be in control. This is because Snake is a powerful sign in Chinese Astrology.

The third thing I see is you have three signs from the Rat-Dragon-Monkey compatibility group, and he has none. And, he has two signs from the Rabbit-Sheep-Pig compatibility group, and you have none. This makes it difficult for both of you to satisfy each other's needs, that is, those associated with these signs.

I wish I had better news, but the honest truth is this relationship, if it lasts, is likely to continue to be a struggle. There is enough positive to work for its success, but it's going to be a job, for both of you.
