Frequently asked questions

+Why are there no compatibility percentages?

Traditional zodiac pairings describe patterns, not probabilities. Turning them into a score would be invented precision, so we show the actual traditional relationships and practical guidance instead.

+What do Six Harmonies and Three Harmonies mean?

They are classic groupings of the twelve earthly branches. Six Harmonies pairs signs that “combine”; Three Harmonies groups signs four years apart that share an element and outlook.

+Is a clash pair doomed?

No. A clash means the two signs sit opposite each other on the zodiac wheel and tend to approach life differently. Many such pairs thrive by naming those differences.

+Is the same sign automatically a perfect match?

No. Same-sign pairs share rhythms and blind spots. For Dragon, Horse, Rooster and Pig, folk tradition also notes a self-punishment pattern.

+Is this Bazi compatibility?

No. This compares birth-year signs only. Full Bazi compatibility uses the whole birth chart.
