Question
Hello my name is Diana Lee Quackenbush I was born August 24th 1952.  My boyfriend was born June 15th 1941.  Do you see us getting married?  Thank you.

Answer
Hi Diana,

You were born during the year of the Water Dragon, month of the Earth Monkey and day of the Water Tiger.

He was born during the year of the Metal Snake, month of the Wood Horse and day of the Wood Horse.

From a Chinese astrology perspective this match has a 74% favorable rating, which is excellent. No astrologer can tell you with certainty whether or not you two will get married. What i can say is there is a very good chance of this match lasting and bringing you the happiness you seek.

The only concern i would note is his elements are very unbalanced. That means he has two weak areas (practicality and communications) due to an abundance of Metal (determination). Actually that strength could even be a weakness, as a large amount of Metal indicates stubbornness.

We don't know his time of birth, so it is possible one of his weaknesses is not really a weakness if there is enough of the missing element in his hour sign. On the other hand if he has more Metal in his chart, he could be difficult to live with.

At any rate, you need to make sure he is not "damaged" goods. Some examples are addictions and mental problems. If you can satisfy yourself on this point, you should follow through with this relationship with the intention of having it continue for the long term.
