Zodiac Compatibility Guide
Zodiac compatibility is an Eastern astrology method that examines harmony and conflict between people based on the 12 Earthly Branches. These correspond to 12 animals: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig.
Compatibility mainly examines three types of relationships: harmonious 'combination' relationships and conflicting 'clash' relationships. Combinations include Three Harmonies and Six Harmonies, while clashes are represented by the Six Clashes. Understanding these relationships can provide insight into personal relationships, romance, and business partnerships.
Three Harmonies - Triple Zodiac Harmony
Three Harmonies occur when three zodiac signs come together to form a powerful elemental energy. Signs in a Three Harmony group feel deep bonds with each other and create the best synergy when together.
Water Harmony

Monkey, Rat, Dragon - A wise and flexible combination that overflows with creative ideas when together.

Pig, Rabbit, Goat - A gentle and embracing combination that feels comfortable and stable together.
Six Harmonies - Paired Zodiac Harmony
Six Harmonies represent pairs of zodiac signs that form a special bond when they meet. More intimate and personal than Three Harmonies, they are especially important when examining romantic compatibility.

Six Clashes - Conflicting Relationships
The Six Clashes occur between zodiac signs positioned opposite each other in the cycle. Signs in clash relationships may have different values and experience frequent conflicts. However, clashes aren't necessarily bad - because they're different, they can learn much from each other and form complementary relationships.

How to Interpret Compatibility
Zodiac compatibility is best viewed as a fun reference. Actual Saju compatibility requires a comprehensive analysis of not just the year pillar (zodiac), but also the month, day, and hour pillars.
Being in a harmony group doesn't guarantee compatibility, and being in a clash relationship doesn't mean incompatibility. Compatibility readings are reference materials - what matters most is mutual understanding and effort.
