Three Harmonies · trines 三合
Each trio brings together animals four places apart. A pair shares the group’s element; the third animal completes the three-member set. This group element is separate from either person’s year element.
Three Meetings · seasons 三会
Three consecutive branches belong to each solar season. This map connects a pairing to the rhythm of spring, summer, autumn or winter and its seasonal months.
Six Clashes 六冲
These animals stand six places opposite one another. The contrast appears in relationship readings and in a daily almanac’s opposing animal. For a shared plan, compare the date’s activities alongside its branch.

The animals behind the names →
A sign also names a branch, a seasonal month and a double-hour. Meet each animal and follow those connections through the calendar.
Where the elements fit →
A year stem supplies the element in “Wood Dragon.” The animal’s fixed element and a trine’s group element describe different layers of the same reading.
