Question
Hello Mr. Hadju,

I was wondering if you could tell me of the compatibility between a male 10/8/1985 3:34am and a female born on 8/18/86?

Answer
You were born during the year of the Wood Ox, month of the Wood Rooster, day of the Water Horse and hour of the Water Tiger.

She was born during the year of the Fire Tiger, month of the Fire Monkey, and day of the Wood Horse.

From a Chinese astrology perspective this match has a 43% favorable, compatibility rating. This match has a below average chance of lasting and bringing you the happiness you seek. Actually, your animal signs are even less compatible; it's just that your elements are very compatible. So, the mediocre rating in fact hides some bad clashes of will.

There are three things that make me question this match. First your partner's elements are very unbalanced. A lot of Fire and no Water and little Earth. The combination of high Fire and low Earth indicates an impractical, "fools rush in" mentality. Lack of Water indicates problems with communications. Second, she has an inner conflict. The Tiger conflicts with the Monkey, making her unpredictable and possibly confused being torn in two directions and could even lead to self esteem problems. Third, your year sign is Ox. Ox is the sign most likely to choose the wrong partner. You should always get an outside opinion from someone you trust and who is wise before committing yourself.

Having said all this, I have to say she is probably a very vivacious, fun loving, and charismatic person. She is likely to be full of charm and a great person to be around.

She makes a great companion but not really a long term partner to be honest. You can do a lot better in terms of compatibility; although, you may have a hard time finding someone more attractive. This attraction, however, looks more like a fatal attraction than a match made in heaven.
