Q & A


QUESTION

Dear Shelly,

My birthday is 11/2/61, and his 10/8/63. What can you tell me about our relationship?

 

ANSWER

Dear M,

You, my dear, are the consummate "earth mother" . Your brand of love is stable and practical while the bf needs luxury and pampering. The two of you are very "Yin" (the receptive, feminine, night force) and he may expect you to take the lead in the relationship, as well as be a little 'commitment-phobic' due to
his essence of "detachment".

Here is your chart (minus birthtime pillar)
Daymaster    Month       Year
Earth            Earth         Metal
Pig               Dog             Ox

You have both the Pig and Dog in your birthchart. Together these two signs make-up the life-palace of Home and Hearth. The Dog builds the house and the Pig puts on the roof (so to speak) This reveals a lover
of home and family - a loyal, responsible soul whose allegiance will always be to her family, spouse and children.

His chart:
Daymaster      Month        Year
Wood              Metal         Water
Monkey           Rooster      Rabbit

He is a very creative man, as well as an entertaining companion and first-class friend. He has both the Monkey and the Rooster in his chart that make-up the life palace of Profession and Vocation. The Monkey contributes versatility and the Rooster efficiency. When found together in a birthchart they reveal cleverness, skillfulness and success in business.

The compatibility between you two is generally good; however, there is a clash between your Earth Pig daymaster and his Wood Monkey daymaster. The Monkey can't help but trick or try to dupe the Pig and he may lack the "staying power" in the relationship that you need.


QUESTION

Dear Shelly,

Hi, I was the listener on our local radio today and you read for my birthday 11/9/64 and my bf 2/21/62 (the tiger - 3x over) you hit it on the button. I'd like it if you could repeat what you said this morning as I was so excited and there were interruptions in the office that I didn't get all of the reading. 

 

 ANSWER

Dear S,

You, dear girl, were born into a year of the powerful Dragon, under the element influence of Wood. You also have other signs and elements in your birthchart.

11/9/64

Here is your birthchart (minus birthtime pillar)
Daymaster     Month          Year
Water           Wood          Wood
Dog              Pig             Dragon

Your daymaster (the element and sign ruling the day that you were born) is the Water Dog and your month pillar is in the Wood Pig. Similar to M in the previous letter, when both the Pig and Dog are found together in a chart, they comprise the life-palace of Home and Family. The Dog builds and the Pig completes. These signs combined with your Wood Dragon birthyear, reveal a woman who would be capable of taking in and raising her younger siblings if necessary.

2/21/62
His chart:
Daymaster      Month        Year
Metal            Water         Water
Tiger             Tiger          Tiger

As you probably already know, he is a very active man, as well as a natural adventurer and risk-taker. With a triple Tiger pillar like this, he is also most likely a bit of a thrill seeker to boot!

The compatibility between you two is generally good, however, there is a LOT of Yang energy between you two (Yang, meaning the expressive, masculine, day force)

Your Water Dog daymaster is highly compatible with all three of his Tiger pillars (they are in Trine) However, you may never be able to get him on any kind of a schedule and he will always need a LOT of independence! There is a possibility of high-drama in this pairing, so beware of that, but, in my opinion this is a sturdy, high-energy relationship. You are both very powerful individuals who are able to work together, love together and play together.

QUESTION

Dear Shelly,

I read your articles and I would like to ask a question. I was born Dec 22, 1964 so I'm a Dragon, but my personality is very, very close to the Snake. When I read about the Snake female it's really me. Do you know why this is, since I'm a Dragon?

 

ANSWER

Dear L,

Thank you for writing and for visiting the website! While you were born into a year of the Dragon, you also have 3 other signs in your birthchart which could account for your Snake characteristics.


Each year, each month, each day and each two hour period of each 24 hour day is ruled by a combination of animal sign (branch) and element (stem).

Your birthdate of Dec 22, 1964 looks like this.

Day Pillar           Month Pillar       Year Pillar
Wood Snake       Fire Rat             Wood Dragon

Your "daymaster" (the sign & element that ruled the "DAY" you were born) is in fact, found in the sign of the Snake. The daymaster is the most important sign in a four pillars of destiny chart. It makes sense that you would identify with so many Snake characteristics.

You did not say what your birthtime was, but if between the hours of 9am-11am, those would be Snake hours, as well.

Hope this helps.

Warmly,

Shelly Wu

Shelly is terribly behind in her correspondence, but Q & A will be back soon!
