Thank you for giving your time and energy, Mike

Answer
Hi Michael,

From a Chinese astrology perspective this match has a 59% favorable compatibility rating, which is good. This is assuming you gave me standard time. If daylight savings time, it has a 70% favorable rating, which is very good.

From a compatibility standpoint there is a good chance of long term commitment holding.

Looking at your charts, however, there are two, potential problems. First, you are both Horse signs. The Horse is the sign most likely to run off at the (first) sign of trouble. Second, your elements are nicely balanced while her are very unbalanced. She has no Water in her chart (regardless of birth time) and low average Wood. Her communications and interpersonal skills are likely to be lacking, and she may not be that good at adjusting to change.

My short answer is your chances are excellent if she has not developed a problem due to her element imbalance.
