Soulmate is the one share the most common with you, they can understand you without the need of speaking it out loud.

See what I mean? If you get confused what is Rat bla bla.. just think it likes Sagitarius. Bazi is more specific since in Bazi there are 6 pillars that can explain your personality (the main is 4 pillars). If you want, you can also read the explanation about the chinese zodiac animals in wikipedia or google.

I don’t use western because it is so common and the one with the same astrology like two Virgo can be really different, since it also depends on their Daymaster, their hour pillar, year pillar, life pillar and conception. Beside of the family background, mindset, and environment differences. The Daymaster usually can tell if two people can be alike, like Geng Monkey and a Geng Monkey no matter if the year or month is different as hell, they will share two same personality (like to joke, famous).
