In the Chinese zodiac, also known as "Shu Xiang" or "Sheng Xiao", there are 12 animal symbols, the zodiac signs. They originated over 2,000 years ago in ancient zoolatry, a primitive form of religion in which the ancient religion worshiped animals. These zodiac signs are associated with the five "elements" or "phases": fire, water, wood, metal and earth. Moreover, this belief has become an important part of Chinese culture. Instead of representing months as in Western constellations, Chinese zodiac signs correspond to years in the Chinese lunar calendar, with the animal representing a specific year, starting with the first day of the Lunar New Year. Additionally, Chinese zodiac signs influence people's lives in terms of wealth, career, marriage, compatibility, and even character.
Before we get into the details of each of the 12 animals, let's start with some background on the Chinese zodiac.
Origin of Chinese Zodiac Signs
There are many myths and legends about the Chinese zodiac, and the most popular version of the Chinese zodiac begins with the Jade Emperor. In Chinese culture and myths, the Jade Emperor is one of the representations of the first God. There are countless stories about the Jade Emperor in Chinese mythology. Some believe that the Jade Emperor lived a selfless life as a child, helping those in need, he was also the crown prince of the kingdom of Pure Happiness, Majestic Heavenly Light and Ornaments. One day, the Jade Emperor decided that 12 animals would be his guards. A general gathering was announced. On this day, the Rat got up early and hurried to the gathering place. But when the Rat saw that the Ox was running much faster, the Rat suggested to the Ox that she would sing for him, provided that the Ox would carry the Rat to the gathering place. After the Ox and Rat were the first to arrive at the gathering place, the Rat slid off the Ox's muzzle and turned out to be the first animal of the Chinese zodiac, followed by 10 other animals.
Why is the cat not part of the Chinese zodiac?
According to some reports, the Rat and the Cat were originally good friends. When they both heard the news that the Jade Emperor was collecting animals according to the zodiac sign, the cat said to the rat, “We should participate in this, but my problem is that I can’t wake up early.” Being a friend, the Rat promised that he would wake up the Cat and they would go together. Unfortunately, in the morning, when the Rat got up, she was too excited and forgot about her promise to the Cat, heading straight to the meeting place. Finally, when the Cat appeared, the choice was already over. This is probably why cats still hate rats so much.
Apart from the Rat and Ox trick in the story of the races of the Chinese zodiac, there are other ideas about the priorities of animals. According to Chinese mythology, the universe began without light or form until the earth and sky were separated. Moreover, it was the Rat who created the crack and let air in. For believers, the Rat became a hero of the world.

Tuesday, March 16, 2010 08:36 + to quote book The elements of the Pillars of Fate, the Pillars of Luck and the Pillars of Time do not exist on their own. They interact with each other, and it is the nature of such interaction that largely influences certain events in our lives. The topic of interaction itself is too broad to be considered within the framework of this mini-course, but we will still consider some aspects of such interaction. 8.1 Collisions of Earthly branches. As you remember, each of the twelve Earthly branches corresponds to one of the 12 animals. Moreover, there are many different relationships between animals. They may like each other or be at enmity. If you look at the diagram of the arrangement of animals, you can say that animals located opposite each other on the diagram will be at enmity. Collisions of the Earthly branches Rat (yav) – Horse (yao) Ox (iz) – Sheep (iz) Tiger (yam) – Monkey (yam) Rabbit (id) – Rooster (yaz) Dragon (yaz) – Dog (yaz) Snake ( io) - Pig (iv) Let's look at the collisions in more detail: Rat (yav) - Horse (yao): We see that during this collision there is a conflict between the elements of Water and Fire. Moreover, since, according to the control cycle, Water suppresses Fire, Fire suffers more in this collision. Such a collision can mean problems associated with Fire and Water for a person. Also, such a collision is associated with injuries, since Fire is responsible for blood circulation. Therefore, if there is this collision, there may be bleeding and injuries. Ox (from) - Sheep (from): This collision means a lot of troubles associated with the Earth. Earthquakes, building collapses, mudflows, and glacier meltdowns most often occur in the years of the Ox or Sheep. Tiger (poison) – Monkey (yam): Tiger and Monkey are Traveling Horses (more on this in the next part of the course), so this collision is associated with accidents on land transport. Therefore, if there is a Tiger in your Pillars of Destiny and the Year of the Monkey is coming (or vice versa), then it is better for you to reduce your driving trips so as not to create additional risks of getting into an accident. Moreover, this recommendation will be especially relevant for the month of the Monkey, September. If you have a Monkey in your Pillars of Destiny, then the month of the Tiger, February, will be the most dangerous in the year of the Tiger. Rabbit (id) – Rooster (im): collision means a knife cutting into the body (Yin Metal colliding with Yin Wood). Such a collision signals danger associated with a weapon, small metal, possibly a surgical instrument. If you have the Rabbit in your pillars and the Year of the Rooster arrives, you need to be careful with your back and spine. Dragon (yaz) - Dog (yaz): a collision means earthquakes, collapses of bridges, buildings, etc. Snake (io) - Pig (yev): a collision signals sea, railway and air accidents, as well as troubles associated with reptiles, sharks, dolphins. If there is a Snake in your Pillars, then in the year of the Pig it is better to refrain from traveling by air, sea and rail. The most dangerous month for this is the month of the Pig, November. If you have a Pig in your pillars, then the year of the Snake may be the most traumatic for you. The impact of conflicts on relationships. Collisions can occur in our Pillars of Fate if there are two animals involved in the collision at once. For example, you were born in the year of the Tiger and the month of the Monkey. In this case, only interactions between animals located in neighboring Pillars are considered. For example, between the pillar of the month and the pillar of the day, the pillar of the year and the pillar of the month, the pillar of the day and the pillar of the hour. If warring animals are in pillars separated by other pillars, then such collisions are not considered. For example, if one animal is in the pillar of the year, and the second is in the pillar of the day, or hour. Then the pillars in which the warring animals are located are separated by the pillar of the month and/or day and no collision occurs. Such clashes indicate hostility between your relatives. For example, a clash of year and month indicates hostility between your parents and your father's parents. But it could also mean that your parents moved far away from your father's parents. A clash between the Day Pillar and the Hour Pillar may indicate that your children will not live near you, most likely they will live quite far away. It is possible that your relationship with them will be strained. In general, collisions in the Pillars of Fate themselves are considered only from the point of view of relations between relatives close to a person. Of much greater interest are the collisions that arise between animals that come with the Pillars of Luck or other time cycles (years, months, days), with the animals of the Pillars of Fate, since they are the ones who cause certain events in our lives. There are other forms of interaction between the Earthly branches, such as Mergers, Combinations of 3, Punishments, Self-punishment and so on. However, their consideration is provided only in the complete Ba Tzu Course - Four Pillars of Destiny. 8.2 Mergers of Heavenly trunks. Heavenly trunks, like Earthly branches, enter into various combinations, collide and merge with each other. Mergers between the Heavenly trunks are described in other words as “the union of husband and wife,” since in this combination one element defeats the other. For example, Jia (poison) in combination with Ji (from) form a relationship in which the Tree controls and conquers the Earth. This is similar to how a man conquers a woman, but since here the yang element conquers the yin, they do not fight, but become husband and wife. That is, they like each other. In life, if two people meet, one of whom was born on the day of Jia and the other on the day of Ji, an attraction automatically arises between them. And if their birthday Pillars combine completely, that is, the merger occurs not only at the level of the Heavenly trunks, but also the Earthly branches, a relationship will definitely arise between them. Fusion of Heavenly Stems Jia (poison) – Ji (iz) Gen (yam) – I (id) Bin (yao) – Xin (im) Ren (yav) – Ding (io) Wu (yaz) – Gui (iv) If fusion occurs within the Pillars of Destiny, it signifies harmony between the relatives whose “houses” they represent. At the same time, taking into account the identity of the connecting trunks, we can obtain additional information with certain aspects. Let's take the pillars that we have already considered during the course: Hour Day Month Year Xin IM Bin Yao Jia JAD Zhen YAV Mao ID Shen YAM Chen YAZ YIN POISON Rabbit Monkey Dragon Tiger We see that the Heavenly trunk of the Birthday enters into a combination of merging with the Heavenly trunk of the Hour of Birth . On the one hand, this suggests that the person in question will love his children very much and their relationship will be very harmonious. On the other hand, given that the Metal for the person in question is Money, we can conclude that this person loves Money and Women. Each combination, therefore, needs to be considered at different levels of interpretation, extracting from it as much information as possible for analysis. Any combinations between Heavenly trunks are connections between people. They can be either favorable and then people love each other, or unfavorable and then they argue with each other. But in both cases they are in contact with each other. And although collisions usually mean conflict, and mergers mean harmony, this does not mean that one is bad and the other is good. Any merger removes, neutralizes the elements involved in it, and these elements can be favorable for you. For example, the pillars of a person (03/1/92): Hour Day Month Year I ID Bin Yao Zhen YAV Zhen YAV Wei IZ Ji YAV YIN POISON Shen YAM The element of this person’s personality is weak Fire. Wood in the pillars of destiny is a favorable element. In 2000, the pillar of which is: 2000 Geng YAM Chen YAZ Heavenly trunk Geng (yam) merges with the Heavenly trunk I (id) of the hour of birth, depriving the personality element of the support it needs so much. From an aspect perspective, merging with the element of Power in the Pillars of Heaven may deprive you of the support of your superiors. Merging with the Money element can rob you of your commercial acumen. Merging with an element of personality promises a person a meeting, as a result of which a romantic relationship may well arise, or, at a minimum, means an increase in your attractiveness to the opposite sex.

Rat (鼠 shǔ)
Rat, Chinese Zodiac
The rat ranks first among the 12 animals in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese calendar system. The sign of the Rat belongs to one of the five elements - Earth. Ancient tribes worshiped the Rat as a god and made sacrifices in the name of prosperity and success. According to the characteristics of the Rat, he is insightful and intelligent.
Year of the Rat: 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2022.
Interesting fact! Global recessions and stock market turmoil occurred in the year of the rat; 2022 (COVID-19) and 2008 (global financial crisis).
Hidden potential of earthly branch mergers
There are many possibilities hidden behind the Bazi characters. We continue the conversation about the 12 earthly branches. Combinations of branches within a map and even between bazi maps produce interesting results.
Three crosses
Four animals - Rat, Rabbit, Horse and Rooster - are associated with the seasons and the four cardinal directions. The rat is associated with the north, winter, and water. Rabbit – east, spring, tree. Rooster – West, autumn, metal. Horse – south, summer, fire. These branches can be called, by analogy with Western astrology, cardinal. They contain a huge supply of energy associated with a certain direction and time of year. It is believed that when all these four animals are collected in one bazi card, then all bad influences are neutralized into positive ones. Often such a map was called “Imperial”; the combination of cardinal branches speaks of a high position, charisma and abundance of love in a person’s life.
If the Ox, Dragon, Goat and Dog are gathered in the chart, then this indicates giftedness, talents and artistic abilities; This combination is often called a “literary cross.” And by studying the symbolic stars, you can find flowering canopies in these earthly branches.
Four post horses - Pig, Tiger, Snake and Monkey in one card evoke the image of an inn or post station where horses used to be changed. Often this speaks of a person’s mobility, restlessness, desire for movement and change. A person can travel a lot and change his place of residence.
Four triangles
We can also talk about triplets of animals.
The Rat is inventive, loves to generate ideas, and is capable of creativity. The monkey can be flexible and active, she literally has “golden hands”. The Dragon is purposeful, charismatic and capable of becoming the leader of a project. And in a team, when three people born in the years of the Rat, Monkey, and Dragon get together, they get every chance to form a triangle of creativity . The qualities of these three signs together help not only to invent new things, but also to complete what they start.
The tree triangle - Pig, Rabbit and Goat - is associated with family, comfort and caring for others. The Rabbit is caring, the Goat is romantic and maintains relationships, the Pig is able to create coziness. Such a triple, whether it is in a person’s chart or arises from the interaction of several people, is often called the triangle of happiness or family hearth .
Fire triangle - Horse, ready to quickly run towards the goal, Tiger - a born hunter and leader, Dog - a loyal friend and protector. Together they make up a trio that has a sporting and competitive spirit, ambition and intelligence. This is the career triangle.
The troika of metal is a triangle of commerce, business . The Snake has financial savvy, the Ox works hard, and the Rooster is able to understand the uniqueness of things and present them from the best side. Together they represent an insightful and practical, effective business team.
If the entire triangle is present in a person’s chart, then the qualities corresponding to this element will be strongly manifested. For example, if there is a Snake, Rooster and Ox in the chart, then abilities for business and commerce may appear (if the metal is able to express itself freely). Or, if, for example, you decide to start a business, and your chart does not have enough Rooster metal for the triple, then you can supplement the triple with the help of a person who was born in the year of the Rooster. At the same time, it is also good to consider what is better for you - partnership, sole management of the business, or working for hire. Also, the interactions of earthly branches between cards affect relationships: if a man’s chart contains a Rabbit and a Goat, and he met a girl whose chart contains a Pig, then there is a high probability of mutual attraction and desire for love and marriage.
Let's see an example of how this works.
While studying at Stanford University, Larry Page met another graduate student in mathematics, Sergei Brin. Subsequently, they together organized and launched the Internet company Google, which began operations in 1998.
Larry Page was born on March 26, 1973, and Sergei Brin was born on August 21, 1973.
In Page's chart there is an Ox in the year and in the day, and in Brin's chart there is a Rooster in the day and an Ox in the year. With Page's arrival in tact in the Snakes, Brin's card completes the troika of metal with its Rooster - commerce, business. It was in 1998 that Google began its activities. It is quite possible that one of them has a Snake at the hour. Their joint work brings profit; the Google search engine they created becomes famous and popular all over the world. Of course, it is important that for one metal is Self-Expression, and for another it is Brotherhood.
Thus, their example shows that the troika of commerce can be completed in the map by attracting a suitable partner.
By studying and applying bazi, you can find answers to many questions about profession, talents, abilities, love, health and periods of good luck.
Bazi training begins on February 27 . The free basic course can be viewed at any time.

Ox (牛 niú)
Ox, Chinese zodiac
The Ox is the second animal symbol in the 12-year cycle. There are many ancient stories about bulls in Chinese belief. These stories describe the Bull as a man and as a celestial being. Some stories describe the Ox as the representative of cattle in agriculture. But the most important mission of the Bull is religious sacrifice or offering. Ox character traits include qualities such as strong, reliable, diligent and determined.
Year of the Ox: 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021
Compatibility of Goat and Horse
The compatibility of Goat and Horse in the eastern horoscope is not very high, but it cannot be called low. Representatives of the two signs can find a common language because they have the same interests. Such couples are often formed; the partners in the relationship practically do not quarrel; they have enough tolerance to work on themselves. The Horse behaves docilely, but the Goat is capricious.
Goat and Horse
Compatibility in love
The compatibility of Goat and Horse in the eastern horoscope is not very high, but the couple can reach mutual understanding if they mutually desire. A representative of the stronger sex is a strong-willed, strong, positive personality. He is used to managing his own life, and also knows how to manipulate others. A man rejects all boundaries and lives by his own rules. Usually he himself forms his social circle.
A woman considers herself a true lady, attracting men not only with beautiful clothes and a fit figure, but also with a rich inner world.
In a couple’s relationship, there is always opposition, since both want to be in the position of leader.
Almost always, a woman manages to stick to her line and give her chosen one the opportunity to consider himself in charge.
Marriage Compatibility
This compatibility cannot be called ideal, but this relationship may well become harmonious and long-lasting. Often it is the Horse who takes responsibility for the future of his family, while the Goat often distances himself from obligations and lives the way he wants.
Sexual compatibility
Although this compatibility is considered good, it is still not ideal. In this couple, relationships cannot be based solely on bed - here emotional contact is of great importance, which promotes emancipation and complete trust in each other.
Compatibility in friendship
The friendship between Goat and Horse can last for many years. Representatives of these signs have many common interests, their goals and outlook on life are quite similar. Even if conflict situations occur, they are not capable of destroying the friendship between the Horse and the Goat.
Business compatibility
Here the relationship is developing very successfully. Representatives of the signs have excellent mutual understanding. They manage to achieve high results together. However, the leading role will always belong to the Horse. It is better for the Goat to abandon their ambitions and accept their “secondary” position - then the set goal can be achieved with minimal effort.
Tiger (虎 hǔ)
Tiger, Chinese zodiac
The tiger is the third animal among the zodiac signs. Tigers usually live in vast areas, so they have keen eyesight and strong senses. They are a symbol of power. The main character traits of this zodiac are energetic, cautious, persistent and strong-willed. These character traits help the tiger to be a great leader. He always works hard to achieve success because he has a hard time accepting failure.
Year of the Tiger: 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022
Horse Man and Snake Woman
Compatibility in love
The compatibility of a Horse man and a Snake woman in love is not considered high. At the initial stage of the relationship, the couple is interested in each other, there are common topics for conversation. The representative of the stronger sex likes the purposefulness of the chosen one, her sociability and optimism.
Both may believe that the partner can be changed. Due to the fact that the chosen ones do not live up to expectations, problems will begin in the relationship.
In general, romantic relationships can develop brightly. A man knows how to please a lady; he spares no expense on gifts and does not skimp on compliments.
Marriage Compatibility
The compatibility of the Horse man and the Snake woman is initially low, but can increase over the years. At any age, the Horse will appreciate the dedication with which the Snake takes care of his family and home. It is unlikely that a representative of the stronger sex is ready to spend every evening with his chosen one, but he is pleased to return to her shared housing.
In this family, the roles of men and women are harmoniously distributed. The horse is fully responsible for material issues, and his chosen one can turn to him for help in order to solve the problem that has arisen.
Compatibility of Horse and Snake
Sexual compatibility
Sexual compatibility between a Snake woman and a Horse man is average. If the chosen one has strong feelings for her partner, then she will try to please him in everything. The snake is ready to experiment and show imagination. At the same time, she does not tolerate vulgar jokes and rudeness, so a man needs to be as careful as possible.
Compatibility in friendship
Compatibility in friendship between a Horse man and a Snake woman is assessed as quite good. Representatives of the two signs treat each other with respect, provide support and help in difficult situations. Their relationship is one of trust; everyone can keep secrets.
The friendly union of a Horse man and a Snake woman is spoiled due to the directness of the Horse. Often he does not want to think about his girlfriend’s feelings.
Business compatibility
The compatibility of the Snake woman and the Horse man in business is good. Both get great pleasure from their work, but there is no focus on results. It is quite difficult to conduct a common business, since representatives of the two signs are often distracted by something.
It is better for the Snake and Horse to work under someone's control. The Horse himself can act as a leader.
Hare (兔 tù)
HareHare, Chinese Zodiac
The hare is the 4th animal in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac. According to legend, if you were born in the year of the hare, you will have a gentle and gentle character. In addition, hares are loving, quick to act, do not like to argue, modest, pleasant to communicate with and difficult to anger.
Year of the Hare: 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, 2023
Interaction of Earthly branches
Mergers and Collisions within the bazi map
. Mergers and Collisions within the map itself speak of disharmony in relationships. If there are many collisions in the Earthly branches in the map, this can be compared to unstable soil underfoot, this is a very unstable character. The absence of various collisions in the bazi chart indicates a more stable, stress-resistant personality.
Mergers and Collisions coming from outside.
. If a colliding Earthly branch comes to some Earthly branch from outside, then we look at what the threat is. Many have already heard the opinion that if a collision comes to the Earthly branch of the day (the house of marriage), then expect changes. Also, if a merger or collision concerns the pillar of the year, then first of all, pay attention to the health of the parents. If a merger or collision came to the Earthly branch of the month, then changes will affect relationships with brothers, sisters, friends, colleagues, and superiors. All in your hands. When merging or colliding with the hour, we pay attention to the children, their health, studies, behavior, and increase control over them. But you also need to look at which relative star, which deity the merger or collision came to - and draw the appropriate conclusions. It is also important which element interacts in terms of favorability. If during a merger or collision a favorable element is weakened, this is bad and dangerous. If unfavorable elements are exposed to a merger or collision, this must also be taken into account.
Favorable combinations (mergers)
: Rat + Ox Tiger + Pig Rabbit + Dog Dragon + Rooster Snake + Monkey Horse + Sheep
Unfavorable combinations - Collisions of Earthly branches
If the element is beneficial and has undergone such a collision, then a difficult time has come for that aspect of human life. If an unfavorable element has suffered, then, on the contrary, there will be successful moments in this area. Rat Horse. Sphere: the clash of intelligence and old age, innovation and authority. Bull Sheep. Scope: change of ownership, skin problems, food poisoning. Tiger Monkey. Sphere: accidents, scandals, emotional outbursts Rabbit Rooster. Sphere: betrayal of close circle Dragon Dog. Sphere: collision of movement, change of work or housing Snake Pig. Sphere: problems with blood vessels, curiosity It is important to pay attention to where the collision vector is directed: if from the map, this is much better than into the map. For example, if the card contains a Rabbit, and the Rooster comes. This means that the metal of the Rooster attacks the Rabbit in the chart - this brings serious trouble.
It is also important which auspicious element is pushed out. If a favorable element is pushed out during a collision, it is bad and dangerous. If there is only one favorable element in the chart and it is subject to collision, then there is even a threat to human life. If an unfavorable element is pushed out, then this is even for the better.
Merging of the Earthly branches with the formation of the resulting element
When merging, earthly branches form a certain element. Many mergers, as a condition, require that the resulting element have a “sprout” - i.e. so that in one of the Heavenly trunks (except for the Lord of the day) there is an element similar to the resulting one. It is important to note that the Lord of the Day (DG), i.e. The celestial trunk of the day cannot be considered as a sprout for any type of combination. This is because everything in the chart is viewed in relation to two centers of the chart: the Celestial trunk of the day and the season (Earthly branch of the month).
Seasons or Seasonal combinations of Earthly branches
: Spring: Tiger (), Rabbit (), Dragon (); Summer: Snake (), Horse (), Sheep (); Autumn: Monkey (), Rooster (), Dog (); Winter: Pig (), Rat (), Ox ();
Among all mergers, seasonal mergers have the highest priority.
Tiger (), Rabbit (), Dragon ( ) when merging, the qi of the Tree is formed, since these Earthly branches correspond to the season of Spring. The condition for the merger is a Tree or in the Heavenly trunks (except for the Lord of the day) or a Rabbit in the Earthly branch of the monthly pillar of the map.
Snake (), Horse (), Sheep ( ) when merging, fire qi is formed, since these Earthly branches correspond to the Summer season. The condition for fusion is Fire or in the Heavenly trunks (except for the Lord of the Day). Or Horse ( ) in the Earthly branch of the monthly pillar of the chart.
Monkey (), Rooster (), Dog ( ) when merging, Metal qi is formed, since these Earthly branches correspond to the Autumn season. The fusion condition is Metal or in the Heavenly trunks (except for the Lord of the Day). Or the Rooster ( ) in the Earthly branch of the monthly pillar of the chart.
Pig (), Rat (), Ox ( ), when merging, the qi of Water is formed, since these Earthly branches correspond to the season of Winter. The condition for merging is Water or in the Heavenly trunks (except for the Lord of the Day). Or Rat ( ) in the Earthly branch of the monthly pillar of the chart.
The strongest and brightest manifestation of energy is noted in the Earthly branches located in the middle of the direction sector - these are the Rat - strong qi of Water, the Horse - strong qi of Fire, Rabbit - strong qi of Wood, Rooster - strong qi of Metal.
Mergers of Earthly branches in pairs
: Rat + Ox = Earth Tiger + Pig = Wood Rabbit + Dog = Fire Dragon + Rooster = Metal Snake + Monkey = Water Horse + Sheep = Fire
Combination of three - triangle of Earthly branches
Mergers of the Earthly branches in triangles, known as the “element of three”, “combination of three” (see figure below), forming one element. Tiger + Horse + Dog = Fire; Pig + Rabbit + Sheep = Tree; Monkey + Rat + Dragon = Water; Snake + Rooster + Bull = Metal;
This combination differs from the seasonal one in that within it the Earthly branches can act in twos (as a pair). The main condition for this: one of the two active Earthly branches must be the central Earthly branch of the combination. Of the paired combinations, the half-combination of the central element and the birth element is considered stronger than the central element and the grave element. For the combination to come true, again, a sprout is needed in the NS. And in the Earthly branch of the month there should be no element that controls the resulting element.
Inside each “triangle” there is a movement of Qi, which reflects the phases of development of the Qi elements: phase 1 - “birth, growth, development” - corresponds to the first element in the triangle phase 5 - “imperial lamp” - corresponds to the second (central) element in the triangle phase 9 - “death, grave” - corresponds to the last element in the triangle. For example, water is “born” in the Monkey, reaches its peak in the Rat, and enters the grave in the Dragon.
The combination implies contacts and communication. A person with this combination in the chart is very sociable and easily finds a common language with people.
Harm of the Earthly Branches
. Compared to collisions, the harm is more intense and unpleasant. It usually causes emotional problems and is difficult to predict (unless, of course, you study bazi). In addition to emotional problems, as a result, we have losses. This could be treason, betrayal. For example, one son was given an inheritance by his parents, but not another. Or somehow the relatives ignored the person. In business there may be a situation of a stolen project or idea. If harm affects the marital home (Earthly branch of the day and month), then it is better to live as a guest marriage, not under one roof. If the harm affects the palace of the parents (Earthly branch of the day and year), then the person may have a strong resentment towards his parents, that, for example, he was given little attention or otherwise deprived. If the Earthly branch of the month and year are affected, then there could be a divorce of parents at an early age of a person. If the branches forming the harm relationships are located nearby, then the influence of the harm will be strong. The damage lasts a lifetime. Rat - Sheep: problems with raising children, confusion, confusion Ox - Horse: lack of patience, emotional outbursts, short temper Tiger - Snake: serious accidents Rabbit - Dragon: legal problems, litigation Monkey - Pig: harm from wrong thinking, intrigue, introduction misleading Rooster - Dog: back injuries, bodily injuries
Destruction (breakdown) of the Earth's branches
Disruption indicates the presence of behavior that is potentially harmful to us. Most often, destruction shows that a person finds himself in a situation where he is driven into a corner and does not see a way out of the situation, or sees few options for solving the problem, or has difficulty coping with the current problem. But for destruction to actually take place, the Earthly branches must be located next to each other in the chart. Each pair of Earthly branches that form destruction can be associated with a specific type of negative or unfavorable behavior. Rat - Rooster: depression, alcohol abuse, drug addiction Snake - Monkey: lack of stability Tiger - Pig: quick success is followed by failure Rabbit - Horse: breakup, problems with relatives Sheep - Dog: threats, the need to move Ox - Dragon: anger, nervousness, hysteria, lack of restraint
If we consider the pairs Snake - Monkey and Tiger - Pig, which can be both a merger and destruction, then the formation of a merger is important. If the merger is supported by a sprout in the Heavenly trunk, then there will be no destruction. How to defend yourself? This is a person’s work on himself: he needs to pay enough attention to relationships with people and control himself. I would especially like to note that harm and self-punishment play a very important role in the analysis of health problems and relationships with people. Therefore, these interactions should not be discounted. Although some bazi teachers advise not to pay much attention to them. Since these interactions exist, are described, explained, then they need to be taken into account? There is no need to simplify, everything has its place.
Dragon (龙 long)
Dragon, Chinese Zodiac
As the 5th animal in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac, the Dragon tends to be energetic, ambitious, adventurous and a leader. Dragons are born with great leadership, combined with wisdom, knowledge and ability, the people around them are ready to obey orders.
Year of the Dragon: 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024
Interesting fact! The Dragon is the most popular zodiac sign among the Chinese, causing a baby boom during the corresponding Dragon years.
Snake (蛇 she)
Snake, Chinese Zodiac
The snake is the sixth animal of the Chinese zodiac. Most of the time people consider this animal to be evil because... his appearance is always scary. Thus, his symbol seems so mysterious and evil.

Snake zodiac signs are calm, observant, insightful and wise, but also indifferent.

Snake Man and Horse Woman
Compatibility in love
The compatibility of these signs in love is considered high at the beginning of a relationship. At this stage, the chosen ones do not yet feel how different their characters, views and life principles are.
At first, representatives of these signs are fascinated by each other, they openly show passion. When violent emotions subside, there is a great risk that the Snake and Horse will separate. The outcome depends on how important this relationship is to the chosen ones.
Marriage Compatibility
The compatibility of a Snake man and a Horse woman in marriage is ambiguous. If there is a strong love connection between the chosen ones, then there is a chance to save the family. Otherwise, the Snake + Horse couple is unlikely to avoid divorce.
A man is more inclined to submit and change himself, but he will not work on relationships alone. At the same time, he is impulsive and touchy. As for the Horse woman, she is unlikely to make a good housewife, since she does not like to take care of the house. She does not get any pleasure from shopping, repairs, or solving everyday issues.
It is difficult for spouses to maintain balance in their relationship because they have different views on life. The couple does not know how to prevent conflicts, and frequent quarrels only destroy the union.
Compatibility of Horse and Snake
Sexual compatibility
The compatibility of a Snake man and a Horse woman in sex is high as long as there is complete trust between the chosen ones. Even in the absence of emotional contact, representatives of these signs receive great pleasure from the intimate process. The Snake is not particularly interested in variety in the bedroom, but the Horse is not against making bold experiments.
Ladies in such a union do not tolerate betrayal, so the relationship will immediately collapse if the man cheats on his chosen one. It will be impossible to restore lost trust.
Compatibility in friendship
The compatibility of a Snake man and a Horse woman in friendship is average. Representatives of the two signs are more likely to be good friends. If contacts occur constantly, the man and woman will begin to irritate each other. They need a simple relationship where there are no obligations.

Chinese Zodiac in different countries
The Chinese zodiac has had a huge influence on various Asian countries including Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Myanmar, Philippines, Cambodia and Korea. In some countries the zodiac signs are very similar to those used by the Chinese, however in other countries some animals may be different.
Japan
The Japanese zodiac also has 12 zodiac animals, similar to the Chinese zodiac, but with their own version of the pig, which they call the "boar". However, unlike China, where the zodiac is calculated based on the Chinese lunar calendar (many calendars indicate both the phase of the moon and the time of the solar year), the Japanese zodiac is based on the solar calendar, since the lunar calendar was discontinued in 1872.
Vietnam
In the Vietnamese zodiac, the second animal is the Water Buffalo instead of the Ox, and the fourth animal is the Cat instead of the Hare. One of the reasons the cat was used was because when the zodiac was introduced in Vietnam, there were no hares in the country yet. .
Thailand
In the Thai zodiac, Naga replaced the Dragon as the 5th animal. Naga is a half-man, half-snake in South Asian countries. People worship Naga because they believe that she gives wealth and fertility.
Myanmar
The Burmese zodiac has fewer zodiac signs and is slightly different from the Chinese zodiac. It has a total of eight zodiac signs, which are based on the cardinal directions: north, east, south, west, northeast, southeast, southwest and northwest. These days, the Burmese zodiac has its corresponding animal symbols: Garuda (mythical bird), Tiger, Lion, Elephant (without tusks), Elephant (with tusks), Rat, Guinea Pig and Dragon.
Other Asian countries
Although there may still be slight differences in the zodiac versions, the Korean, Singaporean, Filipino and Cambodian zodiac signs are very similar to the Chinese zodiac, which uses Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Chicken, Dog and Pig. For example, according to Korean culture, each year is represented by one of the 12 zodiac signs known as the Shibijishin animals, where each animal was considered a guardian who protected people during their time.
COLLISION. 12 ANIMALS
The earthly branches are 12 animals with complex relationships.
In ancient times, people tried not to get married if the difference between future spouses was 6 years, as this could lead to a clash - contention, disharmony, and struggle.
Usually a collision leads to unpleasant incidents and accidents. When a person enters a new year and his birth animal is in conflict with the calendar animal of the year, this situation is called a clash with the “Prince of the Year” or “Tai Sui”. In such a year, a person expects all sorts of worries and troubles, job changes, travel, relocations, and there may even be accidents. There are six pairs of colliding animals, and each collision has its own meaning.
Symbolic way of protecting against collisions
This defense consists of finding the animal that the animal attacking you likes. They prefer to be friends rather than clash. And if the attacking animal sees its “love”, it is already distracted and does not want to fight.
You can use an animal figurine to soften the collision.
To protect yourself, you need to carry a distracting animal with you as a talisman until the period of shock passes.
Moreover, you need to distract not the animal that is in your pillars of fate, but the incoming animal.
The clash between Rat and Horse is a clash between Fire and Water. Such a clash often results in bloodshed and injury, since Water and Fire symbolize blood.
The clash of the Ox and the Goat is a clash of the elements of the Earth. It is associated with accidents and disasters related to the Earth, such as the destruction of buildings, mine collapses and incidents in deserts. The goat is the land of July, the dry land, the symbol of the desert - which is why in the year of the Goat soldiers often have to fight in deserts. For example, the first and second Gulf Wars began in the Year of the Goat. Since there is a lot of earth around us, in the year of the collision of the Ox and the Goat, many accidents and disasters occur, one way or another connected with this element. For example, in 1997 (the year of the Ox), Lady Diana died in a tunnel in Paris, and Gianni Versace was killed in front of his home.
The collision between the Tiger and the Monkey leads to transport disasters. Tiger and Monkey are wandering stars. In ancient times, when there were no cars, people traveled on foot and on horseback, and on the way they could be attacked by a tiger, so many car accidents occur in the year of the Tiger.
The clash between the Rabbit and the Rooster is a clash between the small Wood and the small Metal. The rooster is a small Metal and can be compared to a small knife or dagger cutting into a tree, that is, such a collision means being stabbed. These days, it can also mean surgery. The Rabbit is a yin tree, also symbolizing the neck and back, so a collision between the Rabbit and the Rooster can mean a broken spine in an accident. It was during the years of the Rooster and the Rabbit that Monica Seles was stabbed after a tennis match, Brandon Lee died after being shot in the spine while filming, Christopher Reeves broke his spine after falling from a horse, George Harrison was stabbed in the chest in 1999.
The clash of the Dragon and the Dog is a clash of the elements of the Earth, as in the case of the Ox and the Goat, but since the Dragon and the Dog symbolize the heavier and more massive Earth, then during these years there are major disasters associated with the earth: landslides, earthquakes, avalanches.
The Snake and the Boar are a collision of Water and Fire - the same as the collision of a Horse and a Rat . But the Snake and the Pig are wandering stars, so the results of this collision are disasters at sea and in the air, as well as disasters on the railway.
A clash occurs when both animals are present at the same time - this could be, for example, when your birth year of the Rooster meets the calendar year of the Rabbit. Many people only pay attention to an encounter with the animal of the year of birth, but in fact, a person is affected by an encounter with any pillar of fate - the year, month, day and hour of birth.
A collision with an animal of the year of birth brings more obvious changes - travel, unexpected significant events (change of job or move), accidents are also possible.
If the animal of the current year collides with the animal of your birth month, this may mean that problems await mothers this year.
If the current year collides with your birthday animal , this can mean great difficulties in relationships and even divorce.
If the animal of the new year collides with the animal of your hour of birth, this leads to difficulties in relationships with children.
Because animal collisions can cause problems and nuisances, steps can be taken to reduce the risk. The main precaution is to wear a medallion or keychain with the image of an animal that will distract the animal that rules the current year - this helps reduce the intensity of passions.
Forewarned is forearmed.
Another way to protect yourself from collisions requires you to do some internal work on yourself. Knowing that at some point a collision will occur, take this into account, prepare to survive it with dignity and do not provoke anything that could bring adverse consequences.
So, if a day collides with your year of birth , do not schedule important things that require good luck for this date. It is also not recommended to make long important trips on the days of collisions.
For example, if a Tiger-Monkey collision occurs, which means the possibility of an accident when traveling, be more careful while driving, do not violate traffic rules, and fasten your seat belts. Even if you get into trouble, the consequences will be much milder.
If the collision occurred in the Houses of Matrimony , then this means impending changes in your marriage. Change something yourself, but do it in a painless way. So that change happens, but in the way you want it. If you are not married (not married), then perhaps in the year of collision with the House of Marriage you will meet your soulmate. Even under unusual circumstances!
Clashes in Ba Tzu are uncomfortable, but they speak to the need for change, whether you like it or not. Do everything carefully during this period, keep a clear plan of action in your head and soberly assess your capabilities .

Clash of Tiger and Monkey in 2022
In 2022, the owner of the year寅Tiger conflicts with 申Monkey
.
This is called the collision of the Earth's branches.
Every year we pay special attention to the Earthly branch of the year and check if there is an animal in our chart with which there is a collision. Because a collision is almost always a source of change!
First of all, people born in the year of the Monkey are mentioned, since for them the year of the Tiger is the year of the Personal Destroyer. But in fact, 2022 will bring certain events to everyone who has the Earth branch of Monkey in their chart - in any place, year, month, day or hour.
The clash between 寅Tiger and 申Monkey is one of the toughest.
Two yang elements meet and the conflict is between Metal and Wood. Often brings quite bright and noticeable events into a person’s life.
The main impact of the collision between 寅Tiger and 申Monkey
This:
- Increased emotionality, spontaneous decisions, unexpected actions.
- The desire to change something very dramatically.
- Increased aggression and nervousness, harsh statements.
- Risk of accidents and injuries!
- In personal relationships there are turbulent conflicts and a sharp break, but also unexpected acquaintances and a whirlwind romance.
- On the topic of health - injuries from metal objects, fractures, bruises. Problems with the liver, gall bladder.
Find out if you have a Tiger and Monkey clash
, you can calculate your Bazi card.
Confrontation always brings change
, bright or not very bright, but there may be some changes.
The impact of the collision will be especially pronounced in February* and August 2022.
*Refers to months according to the Chinese calendar
.
The start and end date of the month can be found here
.
We assess the likelihood of change based on two factors:
- In which pillar of the map is the Monkey located?
- Balance of powers of the Wood and Metal elements in the chart
Even though the Tiger comes, it should be remembered that in this clash the Monkey (Metal) is attacking the Tiger (Wood). So first of all we will evaluate the state of the Wood element in Bazi. After all, the Monkey standing in the map can simply not let the Tiger into the map.
But first, let’s look at which pillar of the map the Monkey is in
, as this serves as a hint which areas of life will be affected.
If you were born in the year of the Monkey
, then in 2022 there may be changes: moving, changing place of residence, a new circle of friends for public people. It is always beneficial to organize changes for yourself. Change your routine habits, look for new hobbies, change your usual places that you regularly visit. It is important to organize competent Feng Shui in your apartment, and at least avoid staying in unfavorable sectors. Because Monkeys in 2022 will be more susceptible to the energies of the year.
If 申Monkey stands in the pillar of the month
. Changes in work, career changes, and changes in activities are possible. Many changes can be associated with moving, changing physical location. For example, an office is moved to another building. Issues of relationships with parents and brothers/sisters may be on the agenda. By the way, such relatives may also have a desire or need to move. And it may even happen that they want to move in with you)) Communication with relatives will not necessarily take place in a bad way, but in most cases, such a collision will result in situations where you have to communicate with relatives more often than usual.
If 申Monkey is in the pillar of the day
, then under the collision is the House of Matrimony. This is always an indication of changes in the home and family. Of the minuses: problems may arise in family relationships: scandals, misunderstandings. It is important to understand what they may be connected with. Tiger and Monkey increase the desire for change and often force you to make decisions based on emotions. The spouses quarreled and now the husband or wife demands a divorce. It is imperative to take a break or plan an outlet in advance (an activity that inspires or a place where you can retreat in case of domestic conflict). So that after a quarrel there is an opportunity to “let off steam.” It is extremely useful for married couples to organize changes in the house: repairs, rearrangements, update furniture. Alternatively, it would be nice to move the whole family to another house/apartment. Facing the day can also bring positive changes: you can find a new acquaintance.
If 申Monkey is in the pillar of the hour.
There may be a desire for change associated with a change in interests, hobbies, or internal worldview. Conflicts with children are possible; adult children may leave the parental home. It is more difficult to achieve understanding between generations. The main difficulty here is that it is difficult to come to an agreement, because all communication can be in a raised voice. But this same collision with the hour can serve as a sign of conception or birth of a child. Although in general it is not recommended to give birth during a collision, practice shows that children are born in such years. Again, everything is individual. But the collision of the Tiger and the Monkey in the hour is an indication of a caesarean section during childbirth.
One of the most unpleasant manifestations of this collision is the risk of injuries and accidents.
. Indeed, one of the meanings of the collision of the Earthly branches 寅Tiger and 申Monkey is the threat of emergency situations (there are a lot of examples from real life). We are talking primarily about driving a car, but we can also talk about other types of transport. The situation is considered when a person drives a vehicle himself. That is, if you are flying on an airplane, everything is fine, but if you are flying an airplane, then this event becomes risky.
The fact is that both the Tiger and the Monkey belong to a group of Earthly branches called the Traveling Horse
or Stables. (Snake and Pig also belong to this category). The Traveling Horse sign is a symbol of movement, movement and activity. And collision most often describes conflict, destruction and change. Therefore, when a collision of such Earthly branches occurs, we talk about destruction that occurred as a result of travel, movement, that is, an accident.
In addition, the clash between Tiger and Monkey indicates increased emotionality, sometimes even aggressiveness. And where strong emotions are involved, there is less room for attentiveness, prudence and caution.
And yet, the fact that 2022 is the year of the Tiger
, does not mean at all that absolutely everyone born in the year of the Monkey or who has a Monkey in their Bazi chart will feel the negative impact of the collision. If this were so, humanity would have long ago noticed that in certain years (for example, 1998, 2004, 2010, 2016) the number of accidents increases many times over. After all, there are at least 600 million people born in the year of the Monkey. You need to understand that:
Firstly, the clash between the Tiger and the Monkey only sets a tendency towards risk
.
Secondly, it will not always work
.
When you don't have to worry much about collision.
In general, the influence of the signs of the year is considered individually for each card, but some points can be highlighted:
If the card contains 戌Dog and 午Horse, or only Horse. If there is an Earthly branch 亥Pig, the coming Tiger will be distracted by it. If 寅Tiger is your Noble person. That is, for people born on the day 辛Yin Metal and in years ending with 1. It is worth noting that the Noble person, having softened the impact of the collision, will himself stop working. If Wood is a beneficial element and Metal is unfavorable. If you have the Symbolic Star Noble Person in the current tick.
When to pay attention to a collision.
If there is already a collision between 寅Tiger and 申Monkey in the card. If in the chart the Monkey is a weak Metal or the only element of Metal. If Wood is an unfavorable element and Metal is beneficial. If you are in tact with unhelpful elements.
Preventive measures.
No, this is not about wearing a Pig pendant.
, which will help distract the Tiger. Of course, you can buy yourself such a pendant or keychain, but this is not the most significant decision.
We're talking about actions.
The first thing to do is to assess what area the collision will affect. Will it affect personal relationships or will it bring events related to work and team interaction? And in this area, try to organize changes yourself.
Since a collision carries the threat of an emergency, before the start of the year in December and January, it is useful to send the car to a car service center for a technical inspection so that something can be disassembled and reassembled.
In the months of Tiger - February and Monkey - August, you need to pay increased attention on the road. It may even make sense to avoid traveling in bad weather.
Tiger and Monkey give increased emotionality and change, “movement”. Make your own change. Change your habit, your job, your annoying husband/wife))) and all this with strong emotions, using the mighty Russian language. Let these changes excite you and make you worry. But these will be conscious changes in your life.
