Which signs match Hợi (Pig)?
In the Vietnamese folk table, Hợi (Pig) is in Three Harmony with Mão, Mùi and Six Harmony with Dần; it clashes with Tỵ and is harmed by Thân.
Traditional divination The match table is a folk convention; the birth years of each sign are computed.
Which signs does Hợi 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, Tỵ sits opposite Hợi on the twelve-branch circle, so it is called the direct clash. Dần is both Six Harmony and Four Clash with Hợi: 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.
