Question
I have a question about the compatibility of two Metal Dogs, I being a Leo, August 6th,hour of the Horse,month of the Monkey, and he, a Cancer,July 9th hour of the Pig, month of the Sheep. what are the elements of the two months? I was born at 12:07 pm, he, 9:07 pm and we are both born in 1970 Metal Yang year. Any insight into our compatiblity?

Answer
Hi LeoGrrl,

You were born during the year of the Metal Dog, month of the Wood Monkey, day of the Earth Horse and hour of the Earth Horse.

He was born during the year of the Metal Dog, month of the Water Sheep, day of the Metal Tiger and hour of the Fire Pig.

From a Chinese astrology perspective this match has a 64% favorable compatibility rating, which is good. This match has a good chance of lasting and bringing you the happiness you seek.

You are fortunate that Dog is one of the signs that generally matches well with its own. Metal Dog, however, may be the most difficult. There is more Metal than any other element in your charts. This means there is likely to be more than a little stubbornness with resulting clashes of wills. Also, Water is the element that shows up least in your two charts. It is for communications, and indicates you two could have difficulty in that area. Make sure you you talk to each other and smooth out whatever difficulties arise.

Overall, though, this is a nice match. Good luck.
