Chinese Zodiac Compatibility Chart
A concise reference for traditional compatibility groupings, with context on why a chart is only a simplified starting point.
Chinese zodiac compatibility is often simplified into birth-year animal matches. That can be a fun reference point, but it compresses a much richer traditional system into one symbol.
Zodiac-level compatibility
Animal-sign charts are quick to use and easy to understand. Their limitation is equally clear: everyone born in the same zodiac year receives the same basic pairing.
BaZi-level compatibility
A Four Pillars approach can compare more chart components than the year animal alone, including the day pillar and element relationships. That does not make compatibility scientifically predictive; it simply makes the traditional interpretive framework more detailed.
Use compatibility responsibly
Do not use an astrology match score as a substitute for communication, consent, safety, shared values, or practical relationship judgment.
