We just became a family of five. I would like to know the relationships between our signs in the family.
The parents are a female Rabbit and a male Monkey. We have three children - a male Snake, a female Sheep and a male Pig. Will the children have a good relationship? And will we (the parents) have a good relationship with our children?
My twin sister has almost the same situation as I have - the parents are a female Rabbit and a male Monkey. And the children are a male Horse, a female Sheep and a male Pig. What are the relationships between their signs? And will my and her children get along?
