属猴 × 属猴
Two Monkeys: what the classical relationships between the year branches say. The Monkey's branch is Shen (申).
What these words mean
- BaZi (八字): Chinese "four pillars" astrology. The moment you were born is written as four pillars, for the year, the month, the day and the hour.
- Pillar: a pair of symbols: a stem written on top and a branch below it. Your year pillar is the pair for your year of birth, and your day pillar the pair for your day of birth. Four pillars make eight symbols, which is what BaZi means: "eight characters".
- Branch (地支, Earthly Branch): the bottom symbol of a pillar. There are twelve, each with an animal sign. The branch of your year pillar is your zodiac animal.
- Stem (天干, Heavenly Stem): the top symbol of a pillar. There are ten. Each is one of the five elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) in its yang or its yin form.
- Hidden stems (藏干): every branch holds one to three stems inside it. The strongest is called its principal qi (本气). The others are its middle qi and residual qi.
- Day Master (日主): the stem of your day pillar. It stands for you, and the rest of the chart is read in relation to it.
- Ten Gods (十神): the names for how any stem relates to your Day Master, such as Direct Officer or Rob Wealth. Each one stands for a part of life: work, money, people or support.
- Luck pillars and annual pillars: a full chart also has a pillar for each ten-year stretch of life (a luck pillar) and for each year (an annual pillar). They are read against your birth chart.

申 × 申 · Same sign: a harmonious match
为什么 Why
两人同为申，性情相近，容易理解彼此，但也容易同时陷入同一个盲点。
You were both born in Monkey years. You are alike in temperament and understand each other easily, but you can also fall into the same blind spot at the same time.
五行与藏干 Elements and hidden stems
申申同属金：五行同类，气场相投。
You both have the Monkey branch, which is Metal. You share the same element, so the two of you tend to see things alike.
| 地支 Branch | 本气 Principal qi | 中气 Middle qi | 余气 Residual qi |
|---|---|---|---|
| 申 · 属猴 Monkey, Shen | 庚金 Geng Metal | 壬水 Ren Water | 戊土 Wu Earth |
Each branch holds one to three hidden stems. The first and strongest is called its principal qi.
两支的藏干之间没有天干五合。
None of their hidden stems combine with each other.
五行这一层只看两支的本气，分量轻于上面的合、冲、刑、害。The element comparison looks only at the main element of each branch. It counts for less than the relationships above.
一句话提醒：生肖只是八字四柱中的一个字（年支）。真正决定两个人合不合的是完整命盘：日主强弱、十神关系、大运流年。仅凭生肖断合婚，是这一行最常见的以偏概全。
Your animal sign is only one of the eight symbols in a BaZi chart: the branch of the year pillar. Whether two people suit each other is read from both full charts: the strength of each Day Master, how their Ten Gods relate, and their luck pillars and annual pillars. Judging a match by animal signs alone is the most common oversimplification in this field. Treat this page as background, not a verdict.
