From the perspective of Chinese metaphysics, people born in 1989 are under the "Great Forest Wood" destiny, and those born in 1990 fall under the "Roadside Earth" destiny. Wood and earth are in conflict in the five elements, which may seem to indicate obstacles at first glance. However, when it comes to compatibility between zodiac signs, the five elements alone are not enough. Personality and shared values also play a crucial role. The destined relationships for those born in the Year of the Snake are often with those who have compatible zodiac signs, such as those born in the Years of the Ox or the Monkey.

Analysis of the Compatibility Between Those Born in 1990 (Horse) and 1989 (Snake)

These two personalities may seem very different, but they can complement each other.
In daily life, those born in the Year of the Horse may sometimes act impulsively or carelessly, while those born in the Year of the Snake can offer advice based on their careful thinking, helping to avoid mistakes.

In terms of balancing the five elements, people born in 1989 (Snake) and 1990 (Horse) have an excess of fire and earth elements. To balance this, they can increase water and metal elements. In daily life, drink more warm water and use blue cups. Wear silver jewelry, such as necklaces and bracelets. Place a small fish tank in the northern part of the house (water area), keeping a few black goldfish; hang a metal wind chime in the western part of the house (metal area). This helps to reduce the heat from fire and earth, easing conflicts and friction.
In terms of mindset, both should practice the "Three More Principles": listen more to each other's opinions, especially during discussions, giving each other the opportunity to express themselves fully; give more appreciation for each other's efforts, such as a simple compliment like "Your food today is really delicious," which can make the other person feel warm; participate in more activities together, such as watching a movie or climbing a mountain, to enhance emotional closeness.
As the Book of Changes says: "When two people are united in heart, their strength can cut through metal." Whether a relationship is good or bad depends not only on the zodiac signs but also on how much effort both parties put into it. If those born in 1990 (Horse) and 1989 (Snake) meet, they should not easily give up due to minor zodiac barriers.
