Chinese Zodiac: How compatible are you? - Page 2

According to the table I am a tiger and my wife is a snake so we are incompatible. We have been married for 16 years and still love each other. Wonder what things would have been like if we were compatible.

Based on the responses so far, it appears the results are entirely consistent with random chance.

Couples who report no match on the compatibility lists outnumber the compatible/incompatible couples 2 to 1. Given that each sign lists a maximum of five other signs to consider and ignores half of the total number of signs, this is no surprise.

Of couples who report a mutual (in)compatibility, those who say they are compatible with their mate outnumber the incompatibles, again 2 for 1. Again, this is to be expected, because each sign lists three compatible signs but only one or two incompatible signs.

My sign is a pig, my boyfriend`s is a sheep.

It is said to be compatible

But it is not only related to the year but also the exact time when you were born. It is quite complicated. The older generation will match their Ba Zi to see whether they can live a happy & long life together.

Ba Zi is also called The Chinese Four Pillars of Destiny.

Based on our birth years, we are compatible	10	14.93%
Based on our birth years, we should be avoiding each other	7	10.45%
No match on our birth years	31	46.27%
On planet X, everybody is single	19	28.36%
