Zodiac matches

Which signs match Dần (Tiger)?

In the Vietnamese folk table, Dần (Tiger) is in Three Harmony with Ngọ, Tuất and Six Harmony with Hợi; it clashes with Thân and is harmed by Tỵ.

Traditional divination The match table is a folk convention; the birth years of each sign are computed.

Which signs does Dần match, and which to avoid?

The table combines four conventions: Three Harmony and Six Harmony on the matching side; Four Clash and Six Harms on the side to avoid. Within the Four Clash group, Thân sits opposite Dần on the twelve-branch circle, so it is called the direct clash. Hợi is both Six Harmony and Four Clash with Dần: the two tables are separate conventions and contradict each other on this pair. No general rule says which one prevails, so this page does not pick a side.

The Three Harmonies, Four Clashes and Six Harms table is a common folk convention, not the only reckoning. Some schools also weigh the Heavenly Stems and the nạp âm element before calling a pair harmonious or clashing.
