Family Compatibility ;-)

Samuel's birthday is April 13, 2005. That means he turned 2 years old two days before Eva did. Her birthday is April 15, 2005. Both our children were found with a piece of paper with their date of birth written on it so we know that their birthdays are not just a doctor's best guess. I wonder if there was a party for Samuel on his 2nd birthday. I wonder if he was as scared of his birthday candle(s) as Eva was. I wonder if he had a birthday candle.
As we wait for Samuel, we wonder what he will be like and whether on not he'll like us. Obviously, we know he will NOT like us at first, but like, are we going to be compatible. In our search for answers we turned to the Zodiac and made some interesting discoveries. Here's a rough breakdown in case you don't want to read all the information below:

I WIN!!

Round 1, the Chinese Zodiac. Coincidentally, Samuel, Eva and Papa are all the same sign under the Chinese Zodiac. I figured that this was bad, bad news for Mama (The Horse). I figured I would surely be left out of their little rooster click....


The ROOSTER
Meticulous, Efficient, Orderly, Conscientious, Intelligent, Honourable, Notoriously Candid.

The quick thinking, ingenious Roosters are a pragmatic lot who prefer not to take any risks. Roosters are so aware of what’s going on around them that some may believe them to be psychic. It is not easy to sneak anything by a Rooster. These beings are a frank, honest lot who do not pull any punches and admire those who are truthful with them.Roosters do not play games and are not likely to create facades to hide behind. They are honest, open and keep their word. Roosters are perfectionists and like to be in control. Their appearance is of great importance to them. Roosters do love to be noticed and love socializing with those who love them.Roosters expect and will fight for control of their surroundings and those who fall within its boundaries. They are extremely neat and expect their family members to be the same. By nature, Roosters are conservative, and loyal, trusting and supportive to those who earn it. Those close to the Rooster who do not live up to their standards will find themselves henpecked incessantly.Roosters who learn to let others be what they are will have an extremely gratifying life.

The HORSE Active, Alert, Outgoing, Adventurous, Eloquent, Free Spirited, Independent, and Quick tempered.

The free spirited Horse is the Chinese Zodiac’s wanderer. Horses need their independence and freedom. They are packed with energy and constantly moving from one activity to another. Horses are good with money and, of course, have a passion for travel. Paradoxically, Horses desire love, which can lead them to feel ensnared. The rawness of their sex appeal is like a magnet and makes it easy for Horses to find love. Horses are skilled at the art of seduction. However, their relationships are unpredictable because their behavior is so erratic and they may flee without notice. Blessed with a keen wit and powerful presence, Horses love to show off to a crowd. Despite the strength of their being, Horses feel inferior to those around them. Horses are not a patient lot. They can be quite impulsive and more than a little insensitive to the feelings of others. These self-reliant beings follow their whims through life, which explains why their paths are often littered with unfinished relationships, jobs and ventures. Conversely, Horses motivate others easily and often do reach their goals.

Compatibility of Horse and Rooster - Some communication barriers and personality clashes. Will be able to work out their differences. Cool, amicable relations.

Compatibility of Rooster and Rooster - Clashes of wills and struggle for superiority in their contact with each other. Few areas of understanding. Civil ties at best.

I WIN the first round!



Round 2 - Western Zodiac

The kiddies are both Aries, Mama's an Aquarian, Papa's a Taurus




The Aries enthusiasm and pioneering spirit will certainly be well matched by the curious and unconventional Aquarian. Both of are idealistic,brimming with new ideas they pursue together. Though Rams can get too excited at times,which needs to be watched during any debate over differences. In the end though, the Water Bearer will be patient enough to wait for the classic Ram performance to get over. There is a perfect understanding between the two. Both are also independent and active individuals who appreciate progressive, dynamic approaches to any situation or problem, and the relationship has lively, spirited quality and are also iconoclasts as well, taking pride in their individual freedom from many traditional values and beliefs. Aries is more concerned with personal creativity and, in some ways, less integrated into social groups and the community than Aquarius. All said and done this is a perfect match.

When the mighty Ram meets gentle Bull they seem to have much in common, great determination, point-blank honesty and an appetite for life. However, clear differences will soon emerge. The Ram's determination initiates and gets things done, but the Bull will take their own time to do things, stubbornly resisting any effort to push the pace. Aries periodically becomes gripped with an idea and wants to take an immediate action to act on it. Taurus prefers to fully perceive the whole idea and respond to situations with a more practical and cautious attitude. If Aries ever stumbles or fails, then Taurus will not miss an opportunity to remind them of their shortcomings. This can be infuriating to Aries and very detrimental to the relationship. Appreciation of each other's different approaches will help the relation grow harmoniously. Both should be able to adapt each other's style or habits. In the process, Taurus can help supply the reliability and consistent dedication needed to help bring Aries 's ideas and impulses to a fruitful completion. This is a tricky match that will take learning and adjustment by both. Fire and Earth is a difficult combination,which,however, might work well together with their joint determination, both being courageous and practical. But, if the mix doesn't gel, then they will walk away from each other. One should remember to put in a lot of efforts to make this relationship work. Its a difficult match.

I Also WIN Round Two!!!

By the Way

Aries - Aries Compatiblity - Ego is a dominant factor in the relationship. Both are sensitive to criticism. Almost inevitably they will compete with each other, and in small doses this can be invigorating, but it easily becomes nasty, and one of them is likely to get hurt. Time and effort is required to make this relationship work. It's not a match made in heaven.

We might have our work cut out for us......
