Since we’re into the new (Chinese) year and it’s the year of the Tiger which is my Chinese Zodiac sign and I’m married to Claire whose zodiac sign is the Dog, we should probably check to see if we’re compatible. Actually, we knew the answer years ago before we got married, but I thought I should share the results with everyone.
There are twelve zodiac animal signs in Chinese astrology and in the Chinese calendar and people born under each animal sign all have totally different personality traits. Chinese compatibility reveals who you are a good match with and even offers you some extra relationship insight.
The twelve animals are Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig.
Chinese astrology is a fascinating tool that can be used to reveal lots of information on who our perfect love matches are as well as who we should avoid in relationships.
I was born in the year of the Tiger and Claire was born in the year of the Dog — here’s what what Chinese astrology says about our relationship:
“Tiger (Male) and Dog (Female)
This will be a sweet and mutually affectionate couple. They will work hard together and both be dedicated to their family. The woman will be very gentle and kind, which Tiger admires and treasures. Tiger will have a can-do attitude with a compassionate heart, which makes Dog willing to invest in the relationship without fear. They will be very attracted to each other while also able to respect each other’s privacy. Together, this pairing will spur each other to reach their potential.”
If you check the Internet you can find several (probably more than several) compatibility calculators, based on Chinese astrology. I used one yesterday — you type the day, month and year that you both were born and the calculator computes how compatible the two of you are. Here’s the results for us:
“You are a wonderful pair
Your match score is 90%”
So there you have it — it was written in the stars, or at least the Chinese zodiac, we were made for each other….
