Question
Hi, I'm not expert about chinese astrology but it sounds interesting to me, so I would like to know if it can reveal something new concerning my relationship with my boyfriend, which I have analysed in many ways with classical astrology. We get on very well, it is a serious relationship, so I'm not asking if it'll be forever etc, I was just curious to know what dynamics you'll find and if there's something particular to tell.
HE: 14 march 1966 Parma 8.00 am (unsure but most probable birthtime)
ME: 28 april 1984 Parma 9.15 am

Thanks a lot!

Answer
Hi,

You were born during the year of the Wood Rat, month of the Earth Dragon, day of the Water Dragon, and hour of the Wood Snake.

He was born during the year of the Fire Horse, month of the Metal Rabbit, day of the Water Monkey and hour of the Wood Dragon.

From a Chinese astrology perspective, this match has a 71% favorable compatibility rating, which is very good. You have three signs from the Rat-Dragon-Monkey compatibility group, and he has two. There is lots of common ground and potential for deep, mutual understanding.

The match, however, is not as rosy as it looks. Unfortunately his Horse, year sign is the worst possible match for your Rat year sign. There will thus still be plenty of clashes of will and misunderstandings. The Horse is direct and emotional while the Rat is logical and circuitous.

His signs indicate he is probably a charming and dynamic, especially dynamic individual. The latter, however, could be a problem. The Fire Horse is the sign most likely to succeed or fail spectacularly, more often than not the latter, and to take those around him along for the ride. It's troubling that he lacks Earth in his chart. That element would temper the otherwise, natural recklessness associated with the Fire Horse.

To be honest this match looks like a typical fatal attraction, extremely fun and alluring yet destined to eventually come apart.

Enjoy it while it lasts, but be careful about putting all your hopes into this one.
