Zodiac matches

Which signs match Tỵ (Snake)?

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

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

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