Exploring Chinese Astrological Compatibility
The Chinese have studied the art and science of astrology for thousands of years. They analyze personality traits and character profiles by noting the year, month and hour of the day someone was born. They use the Five Elements to guide them in further understanding the nature of people. They employ a group of animal trines to fathom the unique perspectives and peculiarities of those to whom they’re exposed. In many ways, Chinese astrology has helped them understand the motivations that drive people.
In contemporary societies, the discipline of Chinese astrological compatibility has exploded in popularity. More than ever before, people want to explore whether the person they’re dating is well-suited for them. They want to know if they’re wasting time with a partner with whom they’re incompatible. By using Chinese astrology, people of all ages are modifying their lives and the relationships they establish with others. In this article, we’ll describe the science of compatibility according to Chinese astrology. We’ll also take a closer look at the grouping of the animals in the Chinese Zodiac. Finally, you’ll begin to understand how to use the practice of Chinese astrological compatibility to its full effect in your life.
The Science Of Compatibility
Most people understand intuitively that opposites don’t attract over long periods of time. Most successful relationships are built upon foundations that are consistent with each other. That is, people who share similar characteristics tend to enjoy each other’s company and grow closer. Similarly, those who have emotional profiles that are completely opposite of each other may get along for short periods of time, but are unlikely to do so long-term.
Chinese astrological compatibility expands on this concept. By studying the year in which someone was born along with the month (according to the Chinese agricultural calendar) and the time of day, the Chinese were able to construct a way to determine the likelihood of 2 people enjoying a successful relationship.
Rats, Rabbits, Snakes And Dragons
As you likely know, the Chinese Zodiac includes 12 animals. Each animal represents 1 year in the Zodiac’s 12-year cycle. At its most simple, those animals that are within 4 years of each other on the Zodiac’s calendar are more likely to have personalities and character attributes that gravitate toward each other over time. By contrast, those animals that are 6 years apart will likely find it hard to reconcile their personalities with each other.
For example, the rat and dragon are within 4 years of each other on the 12-year cycle. According to Chinese astrological compatibility, people born in those years will get along well. Meanwhile, the dragon and dog are 6 years apart. That implies that people who were born in those respective years in the cycle are unlikely to get along over time.
More Than Love And Romance
While most people today tend to look at astrological compatibility charts in order to guide them in choices of love and romance, the Zodiac’s cycle can be studied for any relationship. Savvy enthusiasts consider the Zodiac when managing coworkers, friends and family. In truth, Chinese astrology can provide unique insight into any person to whom you’re exposed. Most people fail to realize that using the Zodiac compatibility charts to advise them on romantic relationships is limiting. It can be used for every relationship.
The Final Word
It’s important to note that Chinese astrology compatibility isn’t infallible. In fact, 2 people who are 6 years apart in age could find lifelong happiness with each other. The Zodiac calendar should be used as a suggestion. For example, if you’re already married to someone with whom the charts suggest you’re incompatible, that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be unhappy over time. Compatibility is about the confluence of emotions and personality. That’s more than a chart can control.
If you’re on the cusp of pursuing someone romantically, use Chinese astrology compatibility charts to guide you. Likewise, if you’d like to gain insight into a coworker’s perspective, you can use the charts to expand your perception about that person. In the end, however, your personal experience is the ultimate guide.

It’s funny how noone who makes this claim about the parties “switching” knows when did it happen?. After Republican Lincoln fought a war against the southern democrats to end slavery? In the 60’s when democrats filibustered in attempt to block civil rights legislation? when republican eisenhower sent in troops because democrats couldnt handle blacks in “white” schools and threatened any who tried with violence?Or how about when bill cinton said “a few years ago Obama would be getting us coffee?”

The Palestinian Authority is once again trying to divert attention from its problems at home, and the best way to do this is being escalating tensions with Israel – the Palestinian Authority’s policy since its inception after signing the Oslo Peace Accords in 1993. To distract attention from charges of financial corruption and embarrassing sexual scandals, the Palestinian leadership in the West Bank has stepped up its anti-Israel rhetoric. Allegations of “ethnic cleansing,” destruction and desecration of Islamic religious sites,” “apartheid,” “racism,” “land theft” and “conducting medical experiments on Palestinian prisoners” are directed every day toward Israel by Abbas and his top officials and spokesmen. These charges are often backed up by threats to launch a “third intifada” or to resume suicide bombings against Israel. Given Abbas’s growing predicament, the likelihood of a new wave of violence in the West Bank or the Gaza Strip seems to be more realistic than ever. Yasser Arafat…
