Question
Hello Bill,

What do you think about the compatibility between me, born the 31st of march 1976 (3.17am) and someone born the 8th of aug 1984. Does this relationship miss something? And what can I learn about myself?

Thank you very much and have a nice day!

Answer
Hi Catherine,

You were born during the year of the Fire Dragon, month of the Water Dragon, day of the Water Horse and hour of the Water Tiger.

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

From a Chinese Astrology perspective this match has a 100% favorable, compatibility rating, which is rare and indicates this match has a fantastic chance of lasting and bringing you the happiness you seek.

There are only two things I see in your charts that could complicate this idyllic pronouncement. First, your signs are all about passion and directness, while his are all about indirectness and head games. In short, you're a creature of heart and he one of head, passion vs logic. So, neither of you is going to do a great job satisfying the other's needs when it comes to this aspect of your persona.

Secondly, your elements perfectly complement each other, balancing out your strengths and weaknesses. In fact his is almost perfectly balanced, indicating a strong person. (You probably want to be with a strong man, so this is good.) You, however, lack Metal in your chart. Happily this happens to be his strong point. The problem is he (not quite) almost has it to excess. This makes you two very different on this point. Specifically, he has a lot more determination and stubbornness than you do. All four of your signs do not tolerate stubbornness well.

When you put these two issues together, you're likely to have lots of clashes of wills. Given your great compatibility, it would be a shame if they were to weaken an otherwise great match.

Expertise

Chinese Astrology. I`ve done Chinese astrology for over 20 years, pimary experience Ming Shu style. I am NOT a psychic. I can't answer questions about when a particular event will occur, when/if your life will change, or what your spouse is going to be/look like. I do comment on relationships, career, personality analysis and life cycle chi, i.e., energy level and influences at each of the five stages of life. I evaluate specific relationships or can look at your love life in general. I can tell you your best career choices and whether the one you've chosen is good for you. And, I can identify the strong and weak times in your life. I've done work for Yahoo, astrology.com and onlinechineseastrology.com.

Experience

I've studied Chinese astrology for over 20 years now and done several thousand charts. My specialty is four pillars method, particularly as applied to evaluating relationships. I've also done Nine Star Ki and readings using Mah Jong tiles. My next step is to learn Purple Star astrology. It identifies many more chart details, but accurate readings are time consuming and dependent upon a lifetime of acquired experience.
