Answer
Hi Joelee,

I apologize for the delay in getting this to you. With the holidays and other commitments i've been overwhelmed.

You were born during the year of the Earth Rooster, month of the Metal Horse, day of the Wood Rooster and hour of the Fire Pig.

Michael was born during the year of the Metal Dog, month of the Earth Ox, day of the Water Horse and hour of the Fire Sheep.

From a Chinese astrology perpective this match has a 69% favorable compatibility rating, which is very good. It has the potential to last and to bring you both happiness with a reasonable amount of work.

Your charts reveal three potential problems that, nevertheless, could undermine your relationship.

First, you have two Rooster signs. Rooster is the sign most likely to argue, nag and nit-pick. You must be careful to control this tendency as it can cause stress in this or any  relationship.

Second, you two have a lot of Earth in your charts. You can both be stubborn. A good relationship involves plenty of give and take, not obstinacy.

Third, neither of you has much Wood in your chart. This suggests you two are not sufficiently willing to make the compromises so necessary to maintain  a healthy relationship.

There is a lot that is good about this relationship, not the least of which is the sex. It would be a shame if you two fail to accommodate each other's needs and to initiate unnecessary clashes of will. Effort is required from both of you to make this match last.
