The traditional framework
Seven relationship sets
Three supportive sets and four challenging sets are checked independently. The resulting standing is harmonious, tense, mixed, or neutral.
Six Harmonies (secret friends) 六合
Six fixed complementary pairs.
Seasonal meetings 三会
Four runs of three adjacent branches, one for each season.
Clashes 六冲
Six pairs directly opposite on the cycle.
Harms 六害
Six fixed pairs associated with wearing friction.
Destructions 六破
Six fixed pairs associated with disruption or separation.
Punishments 三刑
Three group patterns plus four self-punishing branches; this layer can overlap any other.

Compatibility questions
Can one pair have more than one relationship?
Yes. Three Harmonies, Six Harmonies, seasonal meeting, clash, harm, destruction, and punishment are separate sets. A pair can appear in several at once, so this checker preserves every named layer and derives a mixed standing when supportive and tense relations overlap.
Why do some pairs have no named relationship?
The groupings are positional. After all seven relation sets are included, twenty-two of the sixty-six distinct pairs still carry no named branch relationship. That absence is neutral rather than a poor match.
Does the fixed-element reading replace the animal relationship?
No. Every animal carries a fixed branch element, while the named relationships come from branch groupings. The element dynamic is shown separately and never manufactures or cancels a named relationship.
What do birth dates add?
A birth date resolves the Chinese New Year boundary and supplies each person's year stem, year element, Na Yin name, and day master. The pair view can then compare the two year stems as well as the animal branches.
