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): 🐉 Dragon. A pairing usually described as complementary and fluid.
- Triple harmony (三合): 🐍 Snake · 🐂 Ox. They share the same underlying “wind” and give each other momentum.
- Clash (沖): 🐇 Rabbit. Opposite styles: attraction and friction; it calls for conscious communication.
