Conned job & bad luck

In the past before the pre-computer age and internet age; what one finds in book stores are generic Chinese Horoscope and /or Chinese Zodiac signs books.

Thus, in the 19670s to even 1980s especially, such books were common as they are easy to write as the subject matter needs only one's Year of birth.

Thus, sites like: http://lovesigns.net cater to this general area.

Thus you are known as a rat person. While your friend's brother is a Monkey. And of course even a dragon person is said to be very suitable to a rat person.

Ba Zi

Unlike the common generic Chinese Horoscope/Animal Signs/Zodiac signs:

Ba Zi takes into account one's Year / Month / Day & even Hour of birth to determine one's element and strength.

While the Chinese Zodiac only considers your Year of birth.

Ba Zi analysis is considered the better choice as it is highly personalised.
Under Ba Zi for example: even if you are a Rat: there can be so many variations e.g. a weak wood / strong wood ; a weak fire / strong fire; weak earth / strong earth / weak metal / strong metal / weak water / strong water.

Thus you can be any of the above.

For example: you could say be a weak fire person. And your friend's brother a strong water person. Here, just imagine: if you are that weak fire person: the other person's strong water could easily have extinguished your weak fire person.

If say you are a weak water person; then a partner of say a strong metal would instead benefit you.

Therefore, being a rat vs a monkey is too simplistic a model.It is just like someone going for an x-ray vs someone going under the MRI scanning. Like an x-ray; it is in black and white. While after the MRI scan; one can even see in detail / colour / slice of a person's individual body section.

Further to what I had mentioned, in modern times ba zi is used to determine compatibility instead of the simplistic Chinese Astrology of "I am a rat. And I am suppose to be compatible to a monkey or a dragon. My worse pairing is with a horse".

In this illustration. This person born on 7 February 2014 and born between 5pm to 6.59pm is considered as a weak earth person. And based on the Five elements concept; this person's best pairing is with a person of the "strong fire" element.
