Born Sept. 12, 1978. Trying to find the right time to move my family back to the US from Japan.

Griff,
You could even go back in the year of the Fire Rooster. While it might not be the best for you in the Rooster year, it could be good for your marriage (check the compatibility of the year when you got married, and the year of the Rooster), or for a family member. As for the place you may want to settle,
your Capital City would be the best choice for you. You stand to benefit financially from such an entity.
Good luck.

Thanks Peter, my wif e is a sheep and got married in the year of the dog. Interesting you mention my capital city as I was just talking about that with my wife yesterday. She prefers going back to Los Angeles, for me I am from Utah and my only preference is to stay West.

Griff,
In this case you could settle in LA, as this city is compatible with your wife and with your marriage.
Your choice is perfect. Good luck.

Thank you again! Is there anything else I should be careful about or beaware of timing wise so I don't miss out? To be honest most everything I have timing has been bad. I got two daughters (year of the rat and snake) and this next move we hope to finally settledown, buy a house in the next few years and call it home. Any advice or help would be appreciated.

Griff,
Sometimes we can do something about timing. Sometimes it is destined to be that way, and we cannot do anything to control it. It looks to me that in your case the timing will be all right. Don't worry too much. There are so many players in your team, that only fate decide what is good for everyone of them. Good luck.
