QUESTION: are we compatible?
My birthday is July 4th 1989( birth time-2pm in Cambodia)
and his is April 11th 1986?

ANSWER: Hi Leang,

You were born during the year of the Earth Snake, month of the Metal Sheep and day of the Wood Ox.

He was born during the year of the Fire Tiger, month of the Water Dragon and day of the Wood Rooster.

From a Chinese Astrology perspective this match has a 56% favorable, compatibility rating, which is good but not great. It's going to take work and compromise from both of you to make this match last and bring you the happiness you seek.

There is one important thing you need to know; the 56% is just an average. It actually masks the fact that you have one very good match, your Ox and his Rooster and two not so good ones: Snake - Tiger and Sheep - Dragon. That means this relationship is likely to be something of a roller coaster ride. When it's good, it's very good. But there will be even more times when it's not so good, plenty of clashes of will.

It's worth pursuing, but to be honest, you can do a lot better.

Answer
Hi Leang,

Very interesting. According to Chinese Astrology your compatibility with this guy is 57%, about the same. But there is a significant difference. Your animal signs are more compatible with #2 and your element signs with #1. What this means is you are actually more compatible with #2, but #1 is luckier for you. Number 2 is strong, opinionated and stubborn, so you are like to have clashes of will with him, but there will also be a lot of very good times. One thing: he doesn't have any Water in his chart, so there could be communications issues between you. This match is also worth pursuing, but again you can do better. You'll have to evaluate whether the positives outweigh the negatives in this one.

Here is what Lori Reid, one of my favorite experts says about the Snake and career:

"These people often change career at least twice, and are unlikely to be attracted by mundane jobs. Whatever they do, they bring concentration, an eye for detail, and laserlike precision to the job. Snakes take things quietly, and may appear lazy, but in fact they are extremely conscientious and can act super-fast when necessary. They have organizational skills and the ability to put their finger on the problem or find a solution to a difficult situation. They like to sort things out on their own, and can at times seem secretive or ruthless."

Your strengths are Earth (especially) and Wood. Earth is associated with practicality, routine matters and spirituality. Wood for creativity and a caring nature. These suggest health care, landscape architecture, auditing, plans and programs, or some kind of humanitarian job.
