Chinese Zodiac & Compatibility
Your Chinese zodiac sign is the earthly branch of your birth year: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig. Popular custom changes the sign at Lunar New Year, while BaZi changes the year at Start of Spring, so people born in late January or early February may get different answers.
Traditional compatibility starts with how the two year branches relate: Six Harmony and Triple Harmony are good matches, while a clash, harm or punishment calls for more adjustment. A fuller reading also compares the two day branches (spouse palaces), the day masters, and whether each person's favourable elements are supplied by the other; the zodiac sign is only a small part.
