Zodiac matches

Which signs match Thân (Monkey)?

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

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

Which signs does Thân 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, Dần sits opposite Thân on the twelve-branch circle, so it is called the direct clash. Tỵ is both Six Harmony and Four Clash with Thân: 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.

Which birth years are Thân?

Years follow the lunar calendar: anyone born in January or February before Tết belongs to the previous year. Each year below has its own page with the exact Tết dates.

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.
