Ben Affleck met on the set of “Pearl Harbor” back in 2001.  At the time, both of them were involved in relationships of their own; Affleck with Gwyneth Paltrow and Garner with Scott Foley.  Subsequently, the two were involved in another movie together, “Daredevil,” released in February of 2003.  Again, the two of them were apparently involved with two other individuals; Garner allegedly with Michael Vartan and Affleck with Jennifer Lopez.  Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were finally engaged in April of 2005, nine months after they began seeing each other.  The engagement may have been prompted by the fact that Jennifer was pregnant, but either way, these two have withstood the test of time.

Chinese Astrology investigates the compatibility of their relationship by comparing their Chinese Zodiac elemental animal signs.  Benjamin Géza Affleck-Boldt was born on August 15, 1972.  The Water Rat is the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal that represents Ben’s primary personality traits.  Coincidentally, Jennifer Garner was born on April 17, 1972, which means her Chinese Zodiac elemental animal is the Water Rat, too.  Charming and crafty, the Rat is the epitome of action and mental stimulation.  Creativity, inventiveness and innovative thinking are second nature to them.   This is a good match - They understand each other very well and generally get along, although they probably compete with each other to gain the upper hand in the relationship.  Chinese Astrology entails other details in rating the compatibility of two individuals.  Their element mix is unfavorable. Generally, the elements in their charts do not complement each other. They tend to lack enough of each element to compensate for each other's shortfalls and to have excesses and shortfalls in their charts.  
    
Their final rating is 59%. There is a fair chance of this relationship lasting and, or, bringing the happiness sought. This is an average, good relationship---a little romance here, a little fighting there. There are better matches, but it is probably worth pursuing.  With the relationship still intact, Chinese Astrology predicts Jennifer Garner will not be gone baby gone any time soon.
