Compatibility Factors

1. Day Master Harmony (日主相合)

Highly Compatible Pairs:

• Generating Relationships: One element nourishes the other

  • Water Day Master + Wood Day Master (Water generates Wood)
  • Wood Day Master + Fire Day Master
  • Fire Day Master + Earth Day Master
  • Earth Day Master + Metal Day Master
  • Metal Day Master + Water Day Master

• Same Element: Mutual understanding

  • Wood + Wood: Grow together
  • Fire + Fire: Passionate bond
  • Earth + Earth: Stable foundation
  • Metal + Metal: Principled partnership
  • Water + Water: Deep connection

Challenging Pairs:

• Controlling Relationships: One controls/restrains the other
  • Water Day Master + Fire Day Master (Water controls Fire)
  • Fire Day Master + Metal Day Master
  • Metal Day Master + Wood Day Master
  • Wood Day Master + Earth Day Master
  • Earth Day Master + Water Day Master

Note: Controlling relationships aren't necessarily bad - they can create growth through challenge, but require more awareness and effort.

2. Yin-Yang Balance (阴阳配合)

Ideal: One Yang, one Yin (e.g., 甲 + 乙, 丙 + 丁)

• Creates complementary dynamic
• Balance between active and receptive
• Natural give-and-take

Same Polarity: Both Yang or both Yin

• Can work but may lack balance
• Yang + Yang: High energy but potential conflict
• Yin + Yin: Harmonious but may lack initiative

3. Elemental Balance (五行互补)

Complementary: Partner provides missing elements

• Person A lacks Water → Person B strong in Water
• Creates mutual support and completion

Competing: Both have same excesses/deficiencies

• Both lack Earth → relationship lacks stability
• Both excessive Fire → burnout, conflicts

4. Zodiac Compatibility (生肖相合)

Six Harmonies (六合):

• Rat + Ox, Tiger + Pig, Rabbit + Dog
• Dragon + Rooster, Snake + Monkey, Horse + Goat

Three Harmonies (三合):

• Rat-Dragon-Monkey, Ox-Snake-Rooster
• Tiger-Horse-Dog, Rabbit-Goat-Pig

Six Clashes (六冲) - Challenging:

• Rat ↔ Horse, Ox ↔ Goat, Tiger ↔ Monkey
• Rabbit ↔ Rooster, Dragon ↔ Dog, Snake ↔ Pig

Six Harms (六害) - Friction:

• Rat ↔ Goat, Ox ↔ Horse, Tiger ↔ Snake
• Rabbit ↔ Dragon, Monkey ↔ Pig, Rooster ↔ Dog

5. Luck Cycle Alignment (大运流年)

• Are they in compatible or conflicting cycles?
• Do they face challenges at the same time (mutual support)?
• Are they in different life phases (growth vs. stability)?
