Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Chinese zodiac calculations and the traditional calendar system.

What is the Three Harmony (三合) grouping in Chinese zodiac compatibility?

Three Harmony groups connect three zodiac animals that share complementary energies and work exceptionally well together. The four groups are: Rat-Dragon-Monkey (action-oriented and intelligent), Ox-Snake-Rooster (deep thinkers with strong goals), Tiger-Horse-Dog (freedom-loving with strong convictions), and Rabbit-Goat-Pig (peace-loving and cooperative). Animals within the same group understand each other intuitively.

What does Six Harmony (六合) mean for zodiac compatibility?

Six Harmony refers to the six pairs of zodiac animals that form the strongest one-to-one bonds: Rat-Ox, Tiger-Pig, Rabbit-Dog, Dragon-Rooster, Snake-Monkey, and Horse-Goat. These pairs are considered ideal matches because their personalities naturally complement each other, balancing strengths and weaknesses.

Which zodiac animals clash (相冲) and should be cautious together?

The six clash pairs are animals positioned directly opposite each other on the zodiac wheel: Rat-Horse, Ox-Goat, Tiger-Monkey, Rabbit-Rooster, Dragon-Dog, and Snake-Pig. These pairs tend to have conflicting temperaments and may experience friction, though awareness and effort can help bridge their differences.

How does Chinese zodiac compatibility differ from Western astrology compatibility?

Chinese zodiac compatibility is based on a 12-year animal cycle rooted in Taoist philosophy, emphasizing the interplay of yin-yang and the five elements. Western astrology uses monthly sun signs and planetary positions. Chinese compatibility focuses on practical relationship dynamics through groupings like Three Harmony and Six Clash, while Western astrology analyzes elemental compatibility and planetary aspects.

Does zodiac compatibility apply to friendships and business partnerships too?

Yes. Chinese zodiac compatibility insights apply to all relationship types, not just romantic ones. The Three Harmony groups are especially relevant for teamwork and business, as they describe signs that collaborate effectively. Six Harmony pairs often make loyal friends and trusted partners. Understanding these dynamics can help navigate any interpersonal relationship.
