How Zodiac Compatibility Works
In Chinese astrology, compatibility is determined by the relationship between the 12 zodiac animals. Some animals are natural friends, while others clash. The system is based on the Six Harmonies (ๅ ญๅ), Three Harmonies (ไธๅ), and Six Clashes (ๅ ญๅฒ).
The Six Harmonies are the best matches โ pairs that complement each other perfectly:
- Rat & Ox
- Tiger & Pig
- Rabbit & Dog
- Dragon & Rooster
- Snake & Monkey
- Horse & Goat
The Six Clashes represent the most challenging combinations โ pairs that tend to conflict:
- Rat & Horse
- Ox & Goat
- Tiger & Monkey
- Rabbit & Rooster
- Dragon & Dog
- Snake & Pig
Even challenging pairs can work with mutual understanding and effort. Compatibility is just one factor in relationships!
