Understanding the Ratings

Best Match (Liu He, Six Harmonies): The most natural and complementary pairing. These signs feel like they "get" each other effortlessly.

Good Match (San He, Three Harmonies): Same trigon element group. Strong communication, shared values, easy teamwork.

Neutral: Workable pairings that require effort but can be great with communication.

Clash (Chong, Six Clashes): Opposite poles. Passionate but volatile — attracts like magnets but needs conscious effort.

By Relationship Type

Love: Liu He pairs have the easiest romantic flow. Clash pairs are the most passionate but need patience.

Friendship: San He groups make the most natural friends. You share energy and outlook.

Business: Same-element pairs work best together. Dog-Tiger-Horse and Dragon-Rat-Monkey are strong business teams.
