Question
thank you for the compatability but you said that my boyfriend was month of the snake but he was born on june 14 which is gemini and everything i had read suggested this was horse as well...just a clarification...sorry to ask this

Answer
Hi Shar,

Gemini roughly corresponds to the Horse month. The problem is Western astrology uses the solar calendar and Eastern the lunar. Gemini occurs on the same dates every year. The dates of the Horse month are different every year.

In 1966 the Horse month had not yet started on June 14th. The Horse month actually began June 19th that year.

This is just one of several reasons that it's very difficult to mix Chinese with Western astrology. Another problem is that Horse and Gemini share some characteristic but not all, as is the case with all 12 pairs of signs. In fact some of the corresponding signs are not very similar at all, e.g., Chinese Pig and Western Scorpio.

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.
