BaZi Compatibility Guide

Understand BaZi compatibility for marriage and relationships using Day Master elements, Earthly Branch combinations, and clashes.

1. How BaZi Compatibility Works

BaZi compatibility is not about choosing identical elements. True harmony comes from balance. A person with an excess of Fire in their chart is naturally compatible with a person who has plenty of Water or Earth to cool and utilize that heat.

2. Day Master Element Interactions

Different Day Masters interact in specific cycles. Wood individuals naturally support Fire partners, while Earth partners find stability with Metal partners. Discover the alchemical reactions between the ten stems.

3. Earthly Branch Clashes and Combinations

The Spouse House is located in the Day Earthly Branch. If your partner's Day Branch combines with yours (e.g., Rat and Ox), the attraction is strong and enduring. If they clash (e.g., Tiger and Monkey), it indicates potential adjustments and growth friction.
