Does anyone take Chinese Astrology into Consideration? I swear in the past it has never really mattered by now I met someone whom I feel I have great Astrological Synastry with except the Chinese Signs Say Very Bad Opposites? Anyone have any input on this?------------------ Sun Virgo 29,Moon Aquarius 25,Cancer Ascendant 25 IP: Logged |

Hi VirgoI met a guy the other night who doesnt go by the astology we speak of....he said "it is Babylonian and they are all fighting anyway".....but he is very into the Chinese astro and told me I being a dog am very compatible with the horse.....I believe in it myself, the chinese are an astute race of people arent they?

I believe all races are astute. I also think that it depends on what type of astrology we are comfortable with and that is what we will end up using. You have to "feel" a connection to it, regardless of whether it is chinese, vedic, magi or traditional. IP: Logged |

I guess that makes sense both of you but I don't want to wind up incompatible with someone and make a mistake, I'm a Venus Virgo with a Sun Virgo 29 degrees and a Capricorn Mars with capricorn on my Descendant! CAUTIOUS!------------------ Sun Virgo 29,Moon Aquarius 25,Cancer Ascendant 25 IP: Logged |

I would definitely be careful. But each of those signs has 4 different elements, some more "worrying" than others. Also, it depends what they are in combination to their other astrological sign and asc.I have a book about it, if you want me to quickly look something up for you. I don't go too much by it myself, but there are some signs that would definitely give me pause.

I'm an Earth Rooster born September 1969He is a Wood Cat or Rabbit born December 1975! It says we are Opposites and do not get along! I spent the whole day with him and his Dad last week and it turns out his Dad is a Taurus Fire Rooster born in 1957. Possibly he is used to the Rooster types but I am much more easy going, Nice, Kind and Mellow than his dad. I can be very picky but that's the Rooster Virgo energy and this guy has Ascendant in Virgo! ------------------ Sun Virgo 29,Moon Aquarius 25,Cancer Ascendant 25 IP: Logged |

Strangely my being a water rabbit and a CancerSun moon in pisces seems to be pretty similar.I know what you mean about someone your supposed to be compatible with in Western astrology is a poor match in Chinese astrology. Actually Chinese astrology is has more depth than the year and whether it your wood, metal, fire, water... To me this means take everything with a grain of salt. Nothing is guaranteed 100% or ever 20% accurate. Following your intuition and heart is always the best way to go. IP: Logged |

VirgoLibra.. I wouldn't just cuont on astro- chinese or otherwise to stay whether you are compatable or not. I hate when people do that because you can throw out the baby with the bath water.What you need to do, if you are both serious about being together, is look at ALL your aspects - good and bad - and then discuss them. For example - I was engaged to a Taurus and we have a horrible Mercury (his) opposition Sun (mine) and well as My moon opposes his Pluto. We had struggles with communication and control. I did our charts and we talked about them at first, but he was UNWILLING to work on those issues. So even though we had all these wonderful soul mate aspects we still couldn't make it. You have to look at YOUR personality as well as HIS. I could be in love with a Leo that is also a Snake by chinese astro. Since I am an Earth Rooster Saggie he should be my dream boat right? What if he has inter-chart issues that keep him from admitting any problems in his own? Say he has a Moon-Neptune square and is a pathological liar yet me being a Sag, I demand honesty. Do you think any astro is going to save us if he isn't going to make the effort. What if the table were reversed and I had an early childhood where infidelity was the norm? Astro isn't going to smooth that out. My point is - the best form of compatability is the ability to be able to talk and share. When you both know you want to be together and you MAKE that COMMITMENT to endure good and bad and to be honest as all hell, then... you have a great chance of making it work. IP: Logged |

Odd - I was just talking to a Chinese friend about this yesterday. Chinese astrology is incredibly complex. I spent some time googling it and have been able to determine that they have signs associated with the year you were born all the way up to the hour. So your chart would include something like you were born the year of the Snake, month of the Dragon, day of the Dog, and hour of the Rooster. There’s a lot more but I haven’t been able to make heads or tails of it. I think there is legitimacy to it – I know my year animal certainly fits me, however like western astrology, I think you’d need to look at the whole chart, and really understand it to determine compatibility. I’m going to try to find a good book on it at some point, and will post more when I actually know what I’m talking about. ;-)IP: Logged |

To answer everyones replies:His Birthday is 12/19/1975 born approx 11:48 PM he is a Sag Sun w/ Virgo Ascendant, Venus Scorpio, mars Gemini, and Mercury Capricorn and Moon in Cancer! He is a Wood Rabbit/Cat, don't know the rest! I have Sun Venu and Pluto in Virgo, Cancer Ascendant, Libra Mercury and Jupiter and Capricorn Mars w/ an Aquarius Moon! We seem very comptible! My chinese rooster says I am an Earth Rooster ruled by Virgo w/ Ascendant Rat. ------------------ Sun Virgo 29,Moon Aquarius 25,Cancer Ascendant 25 IP: Logged |

11:48 pm places him smack in the middle of a Rat Ascendant as well. According to the one book on Chinese Astrology that I have (by Theodora Lau), the Rat makes him "more lively" and less "indifferent," and you, being a Rooster with a Rat Asc., the Rat makes you "more convivial and acceptable.... Still argues, but in a more pleasant manner."So there you have it. This might be why you get along despite the opposite sign business. My Chinese sign hardly fits me at all, but the ascendant does. I would take all of this with a grain of salt. Good luck! IP: Logged |

.......and VirgoLibra, if all fails, I hope this gives you some comfort.....My man and me together 16 years, I wouldnt say astro wise we are very compatible, but we are mad about each other......the ups and downs....the rollercoast rides.....warts and all.....we have stayed together and enjoy a fulfilling life together.....and funnily enough the things that are opposite to the other have taught us to meet half way......so maybe sometimes astrology shouldnt be taken too seriously.....intent is important isnt it!!! Love to ye all

Byron is right, with more than 5000 years of history, nothing Chinese is that simple, let alone their astrology. Do you know they invented the tooth brush? A bit of trivia... LOL99,9% of the Chinese Astrology websites and thin paperbacks sold in news stands out there are lousy. I read those websites and felt dizzy. I thought the webmasters found themselves with too much time in their hands. So, why not put up a Chinese Zodiac website picking things at random, without any criteria, just for fun? Bad translations from Chinese to English abound. Most of the websites for Chinese Astrology are copies of each other. The concepts are shallow and not elaborated. The whole thing sucks and you'll get lost reading these sites. The same hapens with books I read so far.
