Chinese astrology is just as popular as the traditional zodiac these days. I'm an Aquarian, and I keep reading about the perfect Gemini match.

But then, I'm a Rat too?so who's my perfect match then? Chinese astrology also depends on your date of birth date. Obviously! So you can also find your perfect match depending on your birthday!

In fact, I found that there are at least a million sites (okay, I'm exaggerating!) that let you key in your birthday to find the man that's perfect for you.

The 12 animals

1. Rat
2. Ox
3. Tiger
4. Rabbit
5. Dragon
6. Snake
7. Horse
8. Sheep
9. Monkey
10. Rooster
11. Dog
12. Bear

There are certain animals that get along well with each other, and these are clubbed together in an affinity group consisting of three animals each.

Four groups

1. Rat, Dragon, Monkey
2. Ox, Snake, Rooster
3. Tiger, Horse, Dog
4. Rabbit, Goat Pig

You're likely to be most compatible with a guy who's in the same affinity group as you. And then there are certain pairs who get along much better with each other than they would with others. They are known as affinity pairs.

Six affinity pairs

1. Rat and Ox
2. Tiger and Pig
3. Rabbit and Dog
4. Dragon and Rooster
5. Snake and Monkey
6. Horse and Goat

So now that you know who you're most likely to fall in love with, it might be useful to know who you should avoid right? These are known as clash signs.

Six clashing signs

1. Rat clashes with Horse
2. Ox clashes with Goat
3. Tiger clashes with Monkey
4. Rabbit clashes with Rooster
5. Dragon clashes with Dog
6. Snake clashes with Pig

So now you know which guy you should probably avoid because even the Chinese say he isn't good enough. So ideally, look for a guy who's in your affinity group and it'll be fabulous if you can find your perfect affinity pair.

I wonder if Western astrology, Chinese astrology and Indian astrology come together to find you your perfect match! Good luck ladies.
