Question
My bday is on July 25 1973 @ 4:24pm. I am currenty dating a man who is born on Sept. 26, 1972. I do not have his time of birth. We have a really good chemistry and I was wondering if we are compatible for marriage? Thanks!

Answer
Hi Sheila,

You were born during the year of the Water Ox, month of the Earth Sheep, day of the Water Dog and hour of the Earth Monkey.

He was born during the year of the Water Rat, month of the Earth Rooster and day of the Metal Monkey.

From a Chinese Astrology perspective this match has a 59% compatibility rating which is good but nothing special. If your hour signs go well together, that would kick it up to the very good level. If they don't, it would be reduced to about 50%, that is, a 50-50 chance of lasting and bringing you the happiness you seek

The best positive is Rat and Ox go well together in Chinese Astrology. The biggest potential problem is a lack of Fire in your two charts. This relationship could lack pizzazz or excitement. Since he has two signs from the Rat-Dragon-Monkey compatibility group, there is the possibility a Dragon lady could catch his eye some day.

Overall this is a relationship worth pursuing. Still you might want to keep your options open. Your best match is probably someone born in the Year of the Snake, four years younger or eight years older than you.
