AboutBill Hajdu Expertise Chinese Astrology. I`ve done Chinese astrology for over 19 years, pimary experience Ming Shu style. I am NOT a psychic. 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.
Experience I've studied Chinese astrology for almost 18 years now and done several thousand charts. My specialty is four pillars method, particularly as applied to evaluating relationships. 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.

Question Hi, My name is Jakob, I was born July 5, 1984 in Boston, MA, USA at 8:46am. I
did one of those online Feng Shui calculators and it seems I have 2 rats and 2
horses (and a Dragon and a Rooster). My grasp of Chinese Astrology is
tenuous at best, but my understanding is that Rats and Horses are one of the
worst possible combinations. Should I be worried about this? Is there
anything I should be looking out for?
Answer Jakob,
The short answer to your question is no.
First let me say a lot of feng shui practitioners use a solar calendar, but I use the lunar calendar, which is traditionally used for Chinese horoscopes.
You were born during the year of the Wood Rat, month of the Metal Sheep, day of the Metal Rat and hour of the Metal Dragon. Actually, Rat, Rat and Dragon go exceptionally well with each other.
This doesn't mean that everything is great. There is one troubling thing about your chart. You have a lot of Earth and Metal and not much Wood and Fire in your element mix.
One problem with this is that you could be very stubborn and inflexible, especially with a lack of Wood, which means you may not be that willing to make the compromises so necessary for maintaining smooth interpersonal relations.
Second, strong Earth with weak Fire is indicative of the wall flower type in contrast to the cheerleader type. In other words you could come across as rather plain if not boring.
If you can work on these imbalances/weaknesses you could come out ok. So, your chart is challenging, but i wouldn't term your situation hopeless or say you are screwed.
If you would like to know more about your signs, I highly recommend Theodora Lau's Handbook of Chinese Horoscopes. Also, please visit my site, www.firepig.com. If you would like a more detailed analysis, you can order a personality analysis at the site for a modest cost.
