Which signs match Nhâm Thân 1992, and which to avoid?

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

The Three Harmonies, Six Combinations, Four Clashes and Six Harms table is a common folk convention, not the only reckoning. The Four Clashes in groups of four is a Vietnamese folk way of matching ages; the old texts call only the six opposite pairs a clash. Some schools also weigh the Heavenly Stems and the Na Yin element before calling a pair harmonious or clashing.
