At work

Compatibility
In Saju the earthly branches relate in three main ways. They are symbols for talking about affinities, not a guarantee about any relationship:
- Harmony (六合): 🐓 Rooster. A pairing usually described as complementary and fluid.
- Triple harmony (三合): 🐒 Monkey · 🐀 Rat. They share the same underlying “wind” and give each other momentum.
- Clash (沖): 🐕 Dog. Opposite styles: attraction and friction; it calls for conscious communication.
