Chinese Zodiac Compatibility Calculator
Animals in a six-harmony pair or trine match well; clashing and yuanchen pairs rub. A Rat gets on with the Ox, Dragon and Monkey and clashes with the Horse. Enter two birthdays to add star-sign elements and get a score.
Score = Chinese zodiac relation (six-harmony, trine, same sign, clash, yuanchen; the animal changes at Lichun, Feb 4) + Western star-sign element match. Traditional fun, not science.

FAQ
Which zodiac animals are compatible?
Six-harmony pairs (Rat–Ox, Tiger–Pig, Rabbit–Dog, Dragon–Rooster, Snake–Monkey, Horse–Goat) and trines (Monkey–Rat–Dragon, Tiger–Horse–Dog, Snake–Rooster–Ox, Pig–Rabbit–Goat) match best; opposite animals clash.
When does the zodiac year change?
At Lichun, around February 4 — not January 1. Births from January 1 to February 3 belong to the previous animal.
How is the score calculated?
Zodiac relation (six-harmony 90, trine 84, same 74, neutral 64, yuanchen 46, clash 40) plus star-sign elements (same +8, fire–air or earth–water +5, fire–water or earth–air −6) and a small birthday-based offset. For fun.
