Yes, indeedy, a yang water Tiger.
All tigers: wood

hours of the Horse (fire)
Month of the Horse (fire) and
Greece-I'm going to have to do some research on that one. Greece's last civil war ended in 1949, which probably makes it an Ox nation (water)

That makes your elements wood, water, fire, fire, water. No metal, no earth. But no really serious imbalance (although the water and fire, be antithetical could cause some conflict).

Water Tigers are open minded and objective and have a calmer nature than other Tigers. Humane, intuitive and a good judge of the truth, the water Tiger uses its above par mental abilities towards realism. However, the water Tiger also procrastinates, which can cause problems.

The Horse in you (hours of the Horse) will make you want to play a lot, which in combination with the water Tiger tendency towards procrastination may make it difficult to get anything done, but it can also make you more practical.

The Month of the Horse makes you a bit more spontaneous, quick and talkative. You probably like travel a lot, but find yourself too busy to move most of the time.

Yes, a yin metal Rabbit.

All rabbits: wood

Your elements are wood, metal, fire, fire, metal.

The relationship aspect: for Rabbits, the best matches are Boars and Sheep. The worst is Rooster.

yin fire Snake.

all Snakes: fire
you: fire
hours: Rabbit (wood)
month: Horse (fire)
USA: Monkey (metal)

fire, fire, wood, fire, metal. Lotsa fire here. Lean towards wood metal, and fire occcupations. Water and earth occupations will create conflicts.

Fire Snakes are intense, active and energetic and usually have charisma and appeal. The fire here usually intensifies the Snake's already difficult jealousy, so it's not unusual to find this slithery one surrounded (even isolated) within a tightly knit group of friends and/or advisors. This Snake insists on concrete results, but usually because of their tendency toward megalomania. At the heart, the fire Snake want to be rich, famous and powerful. And the fire makes them even more sensual, fervent and jealous than the average Snake.

The bunny in you (hours) makes you appear a bit less intense, but that's just a facade. This quality makes you a good negotiator, at least business wise.

The Horse adds an effervescence and more than a bit of poise. While you're never completely out of control, you like to take things to the very edge, just to admire the view from the top of the cliff.

Hey, Mark!
The time is a very important consideration, in fact it's the second most important one. You birth cert should indeed give the time. But I can tell you that it's either the hours of the dragon or the hours of the snake. See if you can find this and we'll go from there.

You're a yang water Tiger.

All tigers: wood

Your elements are incomplete, but are: wood, water, wood or fire (depending on birth time), fire, metal.

You are a sheep.
A yin fire Sheep, at that!

All sheep: fire
You: fire
Hours: Rooster (metal)
Month: Dragon (wood)
USA: Monkey (metal)

Your elements are fire, fire, metal, wood, metal. No earth no water.

Fire sheep: keywords; courageous, intuitive, dramatic, self-indulgent, lavish. Lots of energy. Outspoken when offended. A wishful thinker.

Hours of the Rooster: Lots of ideas, most of them never materialize. You could use a personal secretary to organize you.

Month of the Dragon: Only agressive when threatened. Controlled and patient, you may be terribly set in your ways.

Sorry aboiut the brevity of the sketch, but I'm only on for a few minutes, and may not have access this weekend!

Happy 4th everyone!

You were born in a yang metal Monkey year.

All monkeys: metal
You: metal
Hours: Horse (fire)
Month: Dog (metal)
USA: Monkey (metal)
Your elements are metal, metal, fire, metal, metal.

You will be happiest in wood based industries as metal conquers wood. Metal industries will also be good.

Metal Monkeys are called "Fighting Monkeys". Keywords: strong, independent, ardent, lively. These Monkeys are very drawn towards financial security and are convincing enough to be good salesmen (you, Pitter, with all that metal should avoid sales, it's a water occupation-not a horrible match, but not a good one, either.)

The Horse in you may tend to make you less dependable than the average metal Monkey...fickle, changeable, wishy-washy are all good keywords for this influence.

The Dog influence will make you a bit less independent, you might even consider partnerships in business. This also lends you a bit more charisma, and while you may find a bit more acceptance than the average metal Monkey, be sure that you can deliver on your promises.

I'm sure that your twinship counts plenty to you and your twin, but makes no difference astrologically. You both will have the same reading, however.

You were born in a yin water Snake year.

All Snakes: fire
You: water
Hours: Ox (water)
Month: Snake (fire)
Philippines: Rat (water)

Your elements: fire, water, water, fire, water.

With all that water, you'll be happiest in fire and wood occupations. Water based stuff will work well for you, too!

Water Snakes: keywords-insightful, charismatic and inquisitive. You may be artisitc, well-read and practical. The warning here is that water Snakes quite frequently harbor life long grudges, waiting decades to exact their terrible revenge. And believe me (a water Snake myself) that revenge will be terrible.

The Ox influence may give you physical stamina and willpower. It can also offer a deep and inflexible stubbornness which is hidden from the casual observer by that snaky charm.

The Snake month here adds a practicality, tenacity and durability. Self -assured, financially responsible (frugal, not necessarily cheap), and courageous.

You should be truly formidable in business.

You're welcome.

Yes, you are a Horse. A yang wood Horse.

All Horses: fire
You: wood
Hours (ascendant) of the Sheep: fire
Month of the Dragon: wood
USA (Monkey): metal

Your elements: fire, wood, fire, wood, metal.

The wood Horse is less impatient than other Horses. Keywords: friendly, cooperative, and reasonable. With a taste for the unconventional, you may find yourself strongly drawn to new ideas and technologies. Wood Horses like to play, like any Horse, but also have a strong sense of responsibility.

The Sheep in you will make you a bit less wild than some other Horses.

The Dragon might tend to make you a bit of a workaholic, and while your ideas may be brilliant, the Dragon expresses itself rashly in Horses. You may also find that you have a great start on projects, but have difficulty finishing them.

Hello!

You are a yin metal Rooster

The Rooster has the fixed element of metal
Your year is a metal year
Hours of the Rat, who's element is water
Month of the Rooster, metal
And Croatia (which became a Republic on 6 May 1945) is a Rooster nation, so metal again.

Your elements are metal, metal, water, metal, metal. Now here's an imbalance we can talk about. With so much metal you will be happiest in wood based occupations, because metal conquers wood. Lumber, architechture, paper products, furniture making...these sorts of things should be easily successful for you. Water industries will also be good (remember that working with people-sales, psychology, etc-are water based, too! Metal based jobs...mining, etc, will also pose little conflict. But you should avoid fire and earth based jobs. Your chance of success in them is very limited.

Metal Roosters are practical and have great powers of deduction. Keywords: idealistic, optomistic, captivating. You may be opinionated and headstrong, and will almost certainly have a real need for recognition and fame. While metal Roosters are great speakers and honest people, they have difficulties being impartial, and when they feel threatened have a tendency to discount the views of others, attempting to drown them out with their own rhetoric. Despite this outward bravado, metal Roosters are frequently quite shy and emotionally inhibited. The metal Rooster that conquers their own shyness and learns to work with others could be a great social reformer (especially if it pays well). Don't get me wrong: the metal Rooster's concern for humanity is genuine, but so is their attraction to material wealth and fame.

The Rat in you will make you easier to get along with, as it contributes charm and social graces. You're probably still quite argumentative, but in a more pleasant way than other Roosters.

Being born in the month of the Rooster may alleviate some of the insecurity that metal Roosters are famous for. You are likely to be a perfectionist, however, and with all that Rooster in you (year, month and nation), beware of finding too much fault in others. Nobody's right all the time, but the Rooster month may make you think you are.

Welcome in advance, Angel.

You are a yang fire Monkey

All monkeys: metal
You, fire.
Hours of the Rat (water)
Month of the Boar (water) and
USA-Monkey: metal

Your elements are metal, fire, water, water, metal.

Fire Monkeys are innovative and usually have great leadership potential. Keywords: truthful, expressive, libidinous, driven. Can you say "control issues"? I thought you could. On the negative side, this Monkey harbors deep suspicions about the motivations of others.

The Rat influence (hours) adds a sparking personality and a sense of how to hold onto money.

The Boar influence (month) makes a Monkey who's prone to hedonism and an uncompromising way of thinking. There will also be a corresponding amplification in the aforementioned control issues. This Monkey demands getting its own way or getting even.

You are a yang water Rat. Born in the hours of Snake, the month of the Dragon.

You are a yin fire Snake, born in the hours of the Horse and the month of the Snake.

The fixed element of the Snake is fire.
The element of your year is, too.
The Horse is fire
The Snake is fire
The USA (monkey) is metal.

Your elements are fire, fire, fire, fire, metal. Go fore wood and metal industries, avoid water and earth based occupations assiduously.

Fire Snakes are energetic, capable and charismatic. Their confidence and leadership abilities make them successful politicians (but as that is a water based occupation, you'd do best to avoid it). Fire Snakes are the most suspicious Snakes out there, and they also tend towards insane jealousy. But they are also the most sensual and fervent Snakes.

The Horse in you reinforces your sensuality and diminishes your suspicion. Snakes born in the hours of the Horse are frequently seen as 'playboys' or 'playgirls' (and many times they are).

The Snake month gives you extra tenacity. You should be well grounded, careful with finances, and have lots of self-confidence. More sensuality. With this hosroscopic makeup, I'd be willing to bet that the right tune melts you into a puddle.

You are a yang metal Dog, born in the hours of the Sheep and the month of the Ox.

Your elements:

All Dogs: metal
1971: metal
Sheep: fire
Ox: water
So. Korea (Rat): water

metal, metal, fire, water, water. With that metal/water thing going on, you'd probably be happiest in wood based occupations.

Adjectives for metal Dogs: unwavering, critical, high-minded, charitable, devoted, and ruthless. You're born under the moon that Tibetans call the Iron Dog. The Iron Dog (as a person) can be very good, or very bad, primarily because he takes himself much too seriously and therefore dedicates himself either to goodness or badness with a blind zeal. Very loyal, but particularly vicious when betrayed.

The Sheep in you softens your Doggy heart and can make you more of a cuddly lap dog (which is not saying much...you are an Iron Dog, after all: it will never get too cuddly). While you may choose to overlook the faults of your friends (not a very doggy thing to do!) the Sheep may also tend to make you a pessimist.

The Ox month gives a generous and benevolent streak to the Dog, and offers a self-loyalty often missing from the Dog profile. Beware of a tendency to become caught up in your own rituals/systems, etc.

You are a yang wood Rat, born in the hours of the Ox and month of the Rabbit. The USA is a Monkey nation.

Your elements are water wood, water, wood, metal.

Wood Rats are progressive, success-oriented people. They have a built-in fear of the future which drives them to figure out how everything works so they can control it. They are, therefore, supremely good at manipulating the system to get what they want.

The Rabbit in you probably puts you in a caretaker position with others, can manifest a pretty nice psychic ability and will make you creative and well-behaved in public.

The Ox, however, makes you inflexible, controlled and controlling, and dedicated. You're often disappointed by the imperfection of those around you. You'd make a great drill Sergeant, but that's a joke and the Ox really hampers the Rat's sense of humor.

Hang in there, I'll get to your readings asap.

Thanks for your patience.

You are a yang fire Dragon, born in the hours of the Snake, the month of the Sheep, and the Monkey nation USA.

Your elements are wood, fire, fire, fire, metal.

Stay far away from water based occupations.

The fire Dragon is righteous, outgoing, competitve, demanding, agressive, overzealous, and dictatorial. On the other hand, they're open, humane, impartial and can give great constructive criticism.

The Sheep in you will make you less short-tempered than the average Dragon and will add responsiveness and tlerance to your short list.

The Snake makes you precise and charming, but also overambitious. Fire Dragons frequently have a Messiah complex, but the Snake can add a sinister note to that. Be the Dalai Lama, not Charles Manson, okay?

yang fire Horse. Run! Run as fast as your legs can carry you! It's a yang fire Horse! AAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

hours of the Monkey, month of the Sheep, USA-Monkey.

Elements: fire, fire, metal, fire, metal.

Stay far, far away from water occupations. People are a water occupation.

The yang fire Horse is flamboyant, smart, charismatic and willful. You are also easily distracted and inconsistent. You like variety in your people and travel. You're also probably a bit confrontational at times.

The Sheep in you makes you less volatile than the average fire Horse, but will make you even moddier and more capricious.

The Monkey will give you glibness: you should be able to talk yourself out of the trouble you get yourself into.

Historical note: in Ancient China, female infants born under the sign of the Horse (and particularly fire Horse) were drowned. Their independent spirit made it impossible to find them a suitable mate, so they were seen as a lifelong liability to their parents. I hope you don't have any desire to become a good housewife: with your chart, it's unlikely to happen.

Yin water Snake, hours of the Rabbit, month of the Dog, USA Monkey.

Elements: fire,water, wood, metal, metal.

Water Snakes are insightful, charismatic, inquisitive, materialistic, goal-oriented, artistic, and intellectual. TGhey also can harbor life-long grudges.

The Rabbit in you merely amplifies these traits.

The Dog makes you simpatico: steadfast, loyal, patient, subtle, witty and charismatic. Beware, however, the doggy tendency towards hedonism.

Easy on YOU? You're another yang fire Horse. See Silly Girl's reading above. Please don't hurt us.

Born in the hours of the Dragon, month of the Boar and The Phillipines which is a Rat nation.

Your elements are fire, fire, wood, water, water.

Unlike silly girl, you are probably prone to excitability and volatility. I'll bet you actually have quite a temper.

The Dragon in you makes you more powerful but also adds to your touchiness.

The Boar makes you very affectionate, but you'll want your needs met first. You're sensuous, power-conscious and very smart. The Boar makes you realize the power of compromise and you always figure out a way to come out on top. I'll have to look at your pics as Horses born in the Boar month are usually quite attractive physically. Beware the tnedency towards vengefullness, however.

Shellan, on another thread you're asking about a fella who 'may be the one'. I hope he is, but keep in mind that Horses (particularly fire Horses) find 'the one' about every six months or so.

You are a yin fire Sheep born in the hours of the Sheep, the month of the Horse and a Monkey nation.

Your elements are fire, fire, fire, fire, metal. Stay far away from water occupations (working with or on people are water occupations).

Fire Sheep-adjectives: courageous, intuitive, energetic and agressive. Indulgent in regards to personal comforts, the fire Sheep is likely to spend way too much money.

Avoid a tendency to live in the future and be sullen and disappointed with what you ahve now.

The hours of the Sheep may make you an ardent lover, but may also make you a bit clingy. Beware a tendency to worry and be indecisive.

The Horse will make you more congenial and less sentimental.

Thanks for doing this. 6/26/64 Kansas City, actually Overland Park KS, but it's only a few miles away, around 7 in the evening. My mom wasn't sure and I was born at home so no hospital records for exact time.

You are a yin earth Horse, born in the hours of the Monkey the month of the Sheep and a Monkey nation.

Your elements are fire, earth, metal, fire, metal. Not a bad mix.

Earth Horses are the most congenial of the Horses and have a firmer logic than most, yet they still remain indecisive. While capricious (especially about the small stuff), earth Horses are the only ones who most likely to settle down into a long term relationship if they find 'the one'.

The Monkey will add wit to your Horsey agility, you should be quite independent and glib.

The Sheep adds a calmness to your personality, and while you may be moody at times, you're very in touch with your environment (not a particularly Horsey trait).

yang fire Horse. Born in the hours of the Snake, month of the Rat and a Monkey nation.

Your elements are fire, fire, fire, water, metal. Please don't become a counselor or psychologist.

Yang fire Horses do not have a particularly stable reputation, and for the most part, they've earned it. While terrifically intelligent and charismatic, they also tend to be inconsistent and volatile.

The Snake will calm some of the Horse hotheadedness, but can also make you quite a schemer (and a very successful one, at that).

The Rat may explain why you really like living in pressure cooker, and will give you even more endurance than your Horsey little self would have had anyhow. While you can rely on your intuition, beware of overdoing things: the Rat does not lend perseverance to the mix.

I will get to your readings in the next day or so. After a protracted illness, I'm fairly far behind in everything. Thanks for your patience.

Short answer: yes.

Long answer: Well, it depends. Roosters and Tigers make good friends, but I'll assume that you're talking about something a little closer. Firstly, it depends on the genders of the people involved. Then on the ascendants. Finally on the people themselves.

Let's talk in a bit more detail:

male/female relationships: if he is a Tiger and she is a Rooster then on the face of it there is not much hope as they will annoy each other so profoundly that they'll barely talk, much less relate. Tiger female/Rooster male can work okay, however, but there really needs to be a compelling reason for them to cooperate.

male/male: Can you say 'critical mass'? I thought you could. This will be a volatile and argumentative relationship as the Rooster and Tiger males have enormous egos, the Rooster tends to be hidebound and rigid and the Tiger is impulsive and intense. And both of them are more than a little self-absorbed.

female/female: the female Rooster is more adaptable than the male, but a double-metal Rooster (the fixed element of the Rooster is metal, too) will tend to be emotionally inhibited and terribly headstrong. The water Tiger can be better focused on the needs of others than the average Tiger and the female Tiger is a wonderful, playful and indulgent nurturer with a repect for the rules that will make a Rooster happy. This could be a very good relationship, depending on who takes the dominant role (and with these two signs, it's likely that someone will).

Ascendants: I frequently run across people who ask if they're on a 'cusp' because they act much more like another sign than their own. There is no cusp bleedover in Chinese astrology. However, the ascendant (hours of birth) is a powerful shaper of personality which can turn around even a primary inauspicious relationship. If our Tiger has a Rooster ascendant, if our Rooster has a Tiger ascendant, or both, then these people will have a strong affinity for the other and may behave in a more Roosterlike or Tigerish manner and will be strongly attracted to each other. This can make a wonderful relationship despite the year sign.

The people themselves: as I've said many times in this tribe-nature vs nurture. Life experience can make a Tiger into a Monkey (primary inauspicious relationship), etc. This is the problem with astrology of whatever flavor-there's no way to predict what's going to happen in someone's life that will shape their personalities and the shaping that occurs from life can be much more profound than the shaping of the stars.

So, can this Tiger/Rooster pairing work? Sure it can. Is it likely? That depends on a lot of variables.

Ox/Rat is a very good marriage combo. Once again, like I continue to say on this Tribe: DON'T MIX SYSTEMS. Here, on this thread, we don't care what your Western astrological signs are. I'm using the Chinese system only.

As to a specific reading for the two of you, I'd need all the pertinent data for him and would only do it with his knowledge and premission.

You are a yin fire Rabbit, born in the hours of the Horse the month of the Ox and a Monkey nation.

Your elements are wood, fire, fire, water, metal.

Year of the Dog coming up.

Yes, you are a Boar. Without the time of birth, I can't go further.

12-05-71, 6:30 pm, Mississippi.

You are yang fire Dragon, born in the hours of the Horse, Month of the Sheep and a Monkey nation.

Elements: wood, fire, fire, fire, metal. Avoid water based occupations.

Fire Dragons are righteous, extroverted and very competitive by nature. They tend to expect quite a lot from the people around them and while agressive, also return a lot to those they care about. Fire Dragons sometimes develop a Messiah Complex, and when that happens, tend towards overzealousness and dictatorialism.

While short-tempered and inconsiderate, the fire Dragon has a great dedication to the truth.

The Horse in you will make you an affable party guest, but may also give you a self-centeredness that will negate the Dragon sense of duty to others.

The Sheep in you may tame the Dragon's militant nature and may lend you some tolerance.

First off, Anna: nobody's doomed. Your life is what you make of it. Open your heart to the universe and you'll get loads of abundance in every aspect of your life.

You are a yin metal boar, born in the hours of the boar, month of the boar and a monkey nation.

Element: water, metal, water, water, metal. Avoid fire based occupations.

Metal Piggies are proud, passionate and sentimental. You may find that you have excessive appetities and you might not be very tactful. But you are socially extroverted, demonstrative with affection, and very forgiving. But not trusting.

The Boar hour indicates that you may not have develoed many fine qualities in yourself. Is it time to understand that you are worthy?

The Boar month makes you sensuous and power conscious and able to compromise. But you'll still get your needs met. First. Beware of a tendency to get vengeful when crossed.

Despite the unfortunate name, you are a yang fire Dragon. Perhaps I shouldn't tease you, that would be safer. You were born int he hours of snake, the month of the ox and a monkey nation.

Elements: wood, fire, metal, water, metal.

Righteous, outgoing and competitive! Demanding, agressive, but with a lot to give, too. Fire Dragons frequently develop Messiah complexes and tend towards the dictatorial and overzealous. You should be impartial, nonethless and dedicated to the truth. As you see it. You can be short-tempered and inconsiderate when it suits you and you may tend to overgeneralize.

The Snake will make you calculating, so with that Dragon drive, you'll probably be wildly successful at whatever. Try, however, to not make it 'at any cost'.

The Ox will make you an incredibly hard worker, but please realize that not everybody has your drive or endurance.

Hi, Miharu!

Well, unless you've given me your date incorrectly, you are actually a yin earth Sheep born in the hours of the tiger, the month of the Monkey and a Rat nation.

Your elements are earth, fire, wood, metal and water. This is perfect balance, the auspices at your birth set you up to be successful in anything you'd like to do! So let those sober and boring occupations just sit there neglected. Express your creativity and be wildly successful at it.

Earth Sheep are more optimistic and self-reliant than the average Sheep. You'll have a great combination of independent spirit and familial loyalty. It's said that Sheep 'eat paper', which is the nice way to say that they spend too much money. The earth element, however, may make you more frugal, and while you'll never be stingy, you'll probably also never be wildly extravagant. You should be a hard worker and it is the Sheep in you that benefits from structure. You are responsible and take that seriously, to your employers, your friends, or to anyone in trouble.

The Tiger makes you very outgoing and creative. But it also amplifies your temper. Tigers are not very dependable, and that adds to your need for structure, or rather, I'd think others tell you you need structure. Look out for the Sheepish ultradefensiveness and the Tiger volatility. You may tend to overreact when criticized.

The Monkey makes you high-spirited, bold and energetic. The Sheep/Monkey combo makes you want to live up to the expectations of others while the Tiger and earth element draw you towards independence and self-expression.

From reading your message and looking at your chart, I could see that you might have some pretty big internal conflicts. The desire to remain loyal to the family (who may be traditional and very conservative) and the impulse to be creatively independent. Pick the one that suits you best or find a way to combine them, you can have everything!

hi patrick,

much love,
jennjenn

tell me about it... was hoping for some answer too hehehe

Hi, everyone. Sorry ... yes, I had unsubscribed some time ago and then resubscribed, but life, in its myriad wonderful complexities, grabbed me by the tail and shook me around a bit. Let's just say that I have been a busy boy and as the internet and Chinese Astrology are avocations ... well, healing myself, my family and the planet come first. I hope to have more time soon and will come back to this as I can. Those of you who have already pm'd me information should look for readings in the next two weeks. Please do not pm me more information right now ... I will be forced to ignore your requests.

When I can return more regularly, I will start a new Ask Patrick thread. I think it would probably be a grand idea to lock or eliminate this thread, but I don't know if the moderator has been around here much in the last year or so, either.

Blessings to you all in this year of the fire pig (or, as I like to call it - the year of bacon).

Yes pass the pork....

My son, husband and online best est are all pigs...
