If you have the money to hire a feng shui consultant (if it is that important to you), they will be able to calculate the best day for you to move, taking into consideration the specific birthdates of EVERYONE in the family.

Without knowing your exact date of birth and her’s as well, I can’t tell you specifically if it will be a good day to move.

what does compatible sign mean on the horoscope page?

:) Hi, basically, the Chinese believe that among the 12 animal signs, there are four groups of three animals each that will always get along and/or are perfect for each other in terms of friendship, romance, or business partnerships.

This is an absolute universal affinity that might not always be apparent because you have to factor in each person’s animal signs representative of the hour, day and month of birth–not just the yearly sign. (More on this in the near future.)

* The rat, dragon and monkey will always be compatible.
* The ox, snake and rooster make up the next group.
* Then the tiger, horse and dog are another group.
* And finally, the rabbit, sheep and pig will always be friends.

Likewise, each zodiac sign has a mortal enemy–someone they might initially be attracted to or compatible with, but undoubtedly the person who is most likely to screw you over:

Rat — Horse
Ox — Sheep
Tiger — Monkey
Rabbit — Rooster
Dragon — Dog
Snake — Pig

Like I mentioned earlier, it is not always that clear cut because you have to take into account both parties’ animal signs of the hour, day, month and year and analyze these inter-relationships, as well as factor in the animal sign for a particular day and point in time.

Hi Joanne,

Aug. 21 is a Gui (Yin Water) Si (Snake) Day. It seems like a bad day for signing contracts. Even if it were a good day, you would still have to wonder whether it would be good for you or for your soon-to-be-ex-husband.

Analyze these general facts to determine if it will be a good day for you: Since Aug. 21 is a Snake day, it will be a good day for Oxen and Roosters. It will be a bad day for Pigs. August is a Monkey month, so generally, the month will be bad for Tigers. 2008 is generally a bad year for Horses.

Each animal only has ONE main incompatible sign: the one directly opposite of them on the Chinese zodiac. (And then, to a lesser degree, the animals most compatible with their opposite.) Refer to my <a href="http://rattopig.wordpress.com/tomorrows-forecast/#comment-969/" rel="nofollow">answer</a> to your original question on compatibility. Today it says that you are "compatible" with the Rabbit, which could mean any number of things. The number of possibilities is limitless. For example, it could range from the extreme (i.e. you are in a fire, and a Rabbit person saves you) to the mundane (i.e. a Rabbit person helps you with a project, or just says "hi"). Or, you might not even run into a Rabbit person today, so it is a moot point. :? You really can't tell the accuracy of these predictions unless you know if this has happened (basically, if you know the sign of everyone around you---one reason I was trying to take a poll to see which site is most accurate ;) hint, hint). Anyway, there are also different methods to calculating the horoscopes, so who's to say who is most accurate?

Assuming you are a Pig, your incompatible sign is the Snake. Each animal only has ONE main incompatible sign: the one directly opposite of them on the Chinese zodiac. (And then, to a lesser degree, the animals most compatible with their opposite.)

Refer to my answer to your original question on compatibility.

Today it says that you are “compatible” with the Rabbit, which could mean any number of things. The number of possibilities is limitless. For example, it could range from the extreme (i.e. you are in a fire, and a Rabbit person saves you) to the mundane (i.e. a Rabbit person helps you with a project, or just says “hi”).
