It is very, very important that you know if your character is suitable for a long term living together with the character of your partner. And for a successful upbringing, with the character of your child. If the characters match, you can go about one another "on the automatic pilot". If not, than you must know it, so that you can do something (a lot) about it. But if you don't know it, than ......... it can seriously get out of hand.<BR>During 12 years I did research into the combination of years of birth according to chinese character astrology. <BR>I wrote a book about it with a separate pocket card with 4 squares for "Life Partner", "Parent-Child", "Friends" and "Business Partners". It's amazing! Proof? Mention the dates of birth (with year) and you will gain a clear understanding of your circumstances.

Hi ROXANE<BR>You are born in the year of the RAT (main character) and in the month of the Horse (subcharacter), RAT/Horse (opposites). He: MONKEY/Rat. Child86: TIGER/Pig. Child91: GOAT/Dragon.<BR>In "Parent-Child" is on "The Character Combination Card" indicated:<BR>RAT-parent with TIGER-child "difficult"; a rat parent cannot contribute much for a tiger-child.<BR>RAT-parent with GOAT-child "difficult"; a rat parent cannot see the point of view of a goat child.<BR>MONKEY-parent with TIGER-child "perhaps"; they are each other's opposites, but not so bad really. The monkey's cunning balances the strenght of the tiger; they will work it out between them.<BR>MONKEY-parent with GOAT-child "perhaps"; better make the best of this, for our she-devil is devilishly devoted.<BR>In "Life Partner" for a long term relationship with living together:<BR>RAT-wife with MONKEY-man "very good"; one of the best combinations; the rat adores the monkey. They'll be happy. Subcharacters: Horse with Rat "bad" (opposites)<BR>What you can do?! See my next message "TO ALL PARENTS"<BR>Any questions? Bye, Jaap Hillen

TO ALL PARENTS <BR>The essentials:<BR>* Make sure that your child never has to ask whether you love him or her.<BR>* Make sure it never has to feel the need to make a good impression on you.<BR>The others:<BR>- CUDDLING, LISTENING and PRAISE work wonders.<BR>- Never say: "You're a horrible child"!, but only criticize specific disobedience.<BR>- Even if your child is not "the apple of your eye", behave as if he or she is.<BR>- Kind and strict. Consistent strictness with love will bring the child security.<BR>- Make sure that your child is certain that you highly esteem it till 18 years, especially till 5 years.<BR>- Your child should not be spoiled, therefore it must not be continuously the centre of attraction.<BR>Jaap Hillen
