Compatible or not compatible depend on many factor. Example, most of us assume people who born on Snake year, will have compatible problem with those people born on Pig year. This is totally wrong assumption in terms of Chinese astrology. You may have a brother/sister or husband/wife who will live together with you in same roof even your zodiac have opposition relation with their zodiac, example Zi-Wu (Rat-Horse), Chou-Wei (Ox-Goat), etc. This happen because it is due to Karma Connection.
What is Karma connection? In past life, the person or yourself owe the "deed", thus make you have reason to meet he/she again on this life. He/She may come back again and become your family/spouse/friend/superior in your life. Example, a mom will continue to support the son even the son was disobedient, we believe in terms of astrology, the mom owe the son deed. Sometime you will see a wife will obey to a husband even the husband treat her so bad, a teacher will pay special attention to help selected student in their studies....this is all due to karma connection. This kind of people might come to harm you or help you, of course people who come to help you back in this life, we call it Noble people in terms of chinese astrology.
You must understand, compatible term is "get along" or "fate". It is not like what we always think "harmony" or "match". There was a reason behind why you can meet him/her in this life. When only you understand what is the meaning of Karma connection, then you will understand what is compatibility term.
I understand what you trying to explain to me. And i totally argue with what u had said. But the problem is my mother do not understand or dont want to accept what ever that I said....
Her mind already set that Snake is not compatible with Boar it had harm....
And also she keep on tell me and show me on those feng shui book that snake harm boar.......
I will be getting crazy soon. If still continue like this.
And the way is to not argue with your mother - BE SMART! Have your boyfriend charm your mother and make her his ally. He must be very charming to her. Take her on her errands, drive her to an appointment, bring flowers to her - for she is the mother of his true love, take her and you out to the market and for coffee. You know what to do. If you argue with you mother, she will be more determined that she is right, so don't argue. You know what to do!
