zodiac compatibility

for the record, i'm not a superstitious person. but i see no harm if pple believe in whatever they wanna believe - so long as they don't impose their views or values on me, i'm cool. reason i'm saying this is bcos i'm about to cough up some uh... chinese zodiac compatibility crap. i've got a colleague at work who's really into such stuff. naturally i was 1 of those he victimised with his zodiac mambo jumbo. it's quite interesting though so yeah, decided that it was worth a mention and some airtime.

firstly, there are 12 signs in the chinese zodiac. they are, in their sequence of order: 子rat, 丑cow, 寅tiger, 卯rabbit, 辰dragon, 巳snake, 午horse, 未goat, 申monkey, 酉rooster, 戌dog, 亥pig. don't ask me why it's 亥 instead of 猪 and so on, i wasn't paying attention to the chinese characters. using the cheena lunar calender as the reference point, one's sign is determined by the year one is born in. so for me, i'm a fiery dragon. see me spout flames. :D next, comes the calculations. i shall not even try to understand how to compute this. let's just pretend that i do ok? *pretends to be in deep concentration and doing the finger count thing. abracadabra! this is what the compatibility chart looks like:

good compatibility
子丑合化土 | rat-cow
寅亥合化木 | tiger-pig
卯戌合化火 | rabbit-dog
辰酉合化金 | dragon-rooster
巳申合化水 | snake-monkey
午未為陰陽中正合化土 | horse-goat

in conflict
子午相沖 | rat-horse
丑未相沖 | cow-goat
寅申相沖 | tiger-monkey
卯酉相沖 | rabbit-rooster
辰戌相沖 | dragon-dog
巳亥相沖 | snake-pig

based on this, it means that i'm highly compatible with someone of the rooster sign while at odds with a dog. hmm, now that i'm thinking of it, it's pretty accurate leh. i get on really well with my dad (who is a rooster) and there's this particular cousin whom i really can't stand the sight of. no prizes for guessing what sign she is of. on further reflection, it's not just my cuz man, i had this bitchy ex-colleague whom my fren n me totally destested (we're both dragons btw) and hey hey, she's a bitch! (in the literal sense too) it's really too much of a coincidence. which got me thinking hard. this would mean that i should be on the prowl for a rooster! as we would be the most compatible and he would most likely be an ideal partner!

hear ye hear ye. roosters, pls send in your applications forms. you will be placed in the highest priority. lol.

hey do share if this compatibility thingy kinda holds true for you too.
