Chinese Astrology Compatibility
There Chinese believed that those who are born four years apart are more compatible than those who are born six year apart. Do you know why?
In the 12 Animals Zodiac system of astrology, it is believed that ones character traits are influenced by our year of birth. As an example those who are born in the year of the rat are intelligence but suspicious while those who are born in the year of the horse are generous and want freedom. Also based on our year of birth we are imbued with certain characteristics that make us more of less compatible with each other.
Chinese Astrology Compatibility Set
The Chinese people believe that the Monkey, Rat and Dragon form a Chinese Astrology compatibility set. They have characteristics traits that make them more compatible with each other. The other compatibilty sets are the Snake, Rooster and Ox, the Pig, Rabbit and Goat and the Tiger, Horse and Dog. If you look at the year of birth you see that they are four years apart. For example those born in 1964 are Rats, 1968 are Dragons and 1972 are Monkeys!
The Rat on the other hand is supposedly less compatible with the Horse. They form an incompatible set. The other incompatible sets are between Ox and Goat, Tiger and Monkey, Rabbit and Rooster, Dragon and Dog and between the Snake and Pig. If you examine the year of birth you will notice that they are six year apart!
The Chinese astrology compatibility tools that you find on the Internet are generally based on the abovementioned principles of combination and clash. Most will also incorporate more combinations and clashes that I have not mentioned above but I hope you are getting the idea.
What if you and your spouse form an incompatible set? Do not lose much sleep over it. Did you notice that I used the word ‘supposedly’ many times? In practice our character is also heavily influenced by the month, day and hour of birth which are not taken into consideration in the above examples. Therefore it is entirely possible for a Rat person to display some characteristics of other animals!
In my practice, I have seen many supposedly incompatible sets of husbands and wives. They are still together after many years of marriage and some of them quite happily! Perhaps love plays a part too.
