How compatible are we based on our birth charts and zodiac signs?

To assess compatibility in Chinese astrology, we primarily use Four Pillars of Destiny (Bazi) and zodiac signs. Here’s how it works:

1. Zodiac Sign Compatibility (Sheng Xiao)

Each zodiac sign (e.g., Rat, Dragon, Dog) has inherent affinities and clashes. For example:

  • Harmonious pairs: Rat + Dragon, Rabbit + Sheep, Monkey + Snake.
  • Clashing pairs: Rat + Horse (clash), Tiger + Monkey (clash), Rabbit + Rooster (clash).

But zodiac signs alone are surface-level. Deeper compatibility depends on the Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) in your Bazi charts.

2. Element Balance (Wu Xing)

Your birth chart’s elements determine synergy or friction. For instance:

  • Productive cycles: Wood fuels Fire, Fire creates Earth.
  • Destructive cycles: Water extinguishes Fire, Metal chops Wood.

Example:

  • If you’re a Wood Rabbit (1987) and your partner is a Fire Rooster (1993):
    • Zodiac clash: Rabbit and Rooster clash.
    • Element harmony: Wood feeds Fire (compatible).
      This creates a mix of tension and attraction, requiring effort to balance.

3. Day Master Compatibility

The Day Pillar (day of birth) in your Bazi represents your core personality. Compatibility depends on how your Day Masters interact:

  • E.g., a Yang Wood (甲) person thrives with a Yang Fire (丙) partner (Wood feeds Fire), but may struggle with a Strong Metal (庚) person (Metal cuts Wood).

4. Combinations and Clashes

Specific interactions between Earthly Branches (e.g., Zhi in your chart) matter:

  • Favorable combos: Rat + Ox (合), Tiger + Pig (合).
  • Unfavorable clashes: Horse + Rat (冲), Snake + Pig (冲).

Example:
If your chart has Water and your partner’s has Fire, Water can dampen Fire’s energy. But if Fire is weak in their chart, your Water might help balance it.

5. Current Year Influence (2025)

2025 is a Wood Snake year. Wood strengthens Fire but weakens Earth. If one of you has a weak Earth element, 2025 may highlight challenges in stability or communication.

Key Takeaway:

  • Zodiac signs give a basic idea, but Bazi analysis (full birth chart) is essential for accuracy.
  • Even "clashing" signs can work with complementary elements or strong Day Master synergy.
