Question
I'm not sure if my boyfriend and I are compatible, maybe our birthdays can help explain why we seem to have nothing in common....mine is Feb 3rd 1985 and his is Feb 15th 1979

Answer
Hi G,

You were born during the year of the Wood Rat, month of the Fire Ox and day of the Water Rooster.

Your boyfriend was born during the year of the Earth Sheep, month of the Fire Tiger and day of the Water Ox.

Your day signs (Water Rooster and Water Ox) match up perfectly, so i can understand why there is attraction.
Your strengths and weaknesses also generally complement each other well.

On the other hand there are plenty of disastrous matches among your other signs. His Sheep year sign is a poor match for your Rat year sign and a horrible match for your Ox month sign. There are probably lots of times you think he is a whiner and others when he's overly stubborn. Also, his Tiger sign is a terrible match for your Ox month sign. This means you are like to have a lot of clashes of wills.

From a Chinese astrology standpoint this match has a 36% favorable compatibility rating, which is not good. To be honest, you can do a lot better.

If you would like to learn more about your signs, i highly recommend Theodora Lau's The Handbook of Chinese Horoscopes. Also, please visit my site, www.firepig.com. If you would like a more detailed analysis you can order a Relationship Comparison reading there at a modest cost.

Thank u for your question.

Expertise

Chinese Astrology. I`ve done Chinese astrology for over 20 years, pimary experience Ming Shu style. I am NOT a psychic. I can't answer questions about when a particular event will occur, when/if your life will change, or what your spouse is going to be/look like. I do comment on relationships, career, personality analysis and life cycle chi, i.e., energy level and influences at each of the five stages of life. I evaluate specific relationships or can look at your love life in general. I can tell you your best career choices and whether the one you've chosen is good for you. And, I can identify the strong and weak times in your life. I've done work for Yahoo, astrology.com and onlinechineseastrology.com.

Experience

I've studied Chinese astrology for over 20 years now and done several thousand charts. My specialty is four pillars method, particularly as applied to evaluating relationships. I've also done Nine Star Ki and readings using Mah Jong tiles. My next step is to learn Purple Star astrology. It identifies many more chart details, but accurate readings are time consuming and dependent upon a lifetime of acquired experience.
