Hello I am a Mother of 3.  

My Husband is a Water Tiger
I am an Earth Sheep
my 11 year old (from previous marriage) is Earth Tiger
my 3 yr old is fire dog
1 year old Earth Rat.

I have issues with the 11 yr old whose father is a horse 1966.  I do love her and she is as sweet as can be, but we do clash at times.  My husband (stepfather)  do clash with her too, but they get along more than I do.

Hi! :D I started a similar thread about animal compatibility within the family...but unfortunately, no one else has contributed.

That said, I hope someone gives you some insight into your question!

Dear Audreys Love,

When you write something as "Water Tiger", "Earth Sheep", etc I think you have read some books about Chinese Astrology already. Some people who have not read about Oriental Philosophy may be confused between "Water Tiger", "Wood Tiger"", "Metal Tiger", "North Sheep", "South Sheep", etc

Looking at the ages of the members of the family, first I conclude there is nothing serious. However Astrology is very complicated and concrete and require time and calculations.

Don't worry because there is nothing too serious when looking at those ages.

Oh there is one more thing I feel I'll need to tell you. If you feel the need to have another child or adopt a child, it is recommended not to give birth in the year of the Horse or adopt a Horse-year-born child. A Horse-year-born child will be so excellent to me, and for many others. But for you it may give some discordance in the family.

A Horse is in the triple combo of Tiger - Horse - Dog. Since your family have 2 Tigers already. If a triple combo of Tiger - Horse - Dog is established then where is the place for the other Tiger?

Well thank you for the information about the triple combo, but I have 2 tigers and 1 dog.  Would that cause issues?  I wanted to have a baby this year since its the white tiger, but I am not going there now.

Thanks again

Audrey
