The relationship type is preselected for this page and can be changed at any time. The basic comparison is free and calculated in your browser. Creating an invitation stores your details on the server so both charts can be compared after the other person responds. The invitation form below asks for your consent first.
Partnerships rarely fail because someone is a bad person. They fail because direction, pace and money rules were never spelled out. This page puts both charts side by side and turns the calculable correspondences into questions to work through before and during the partnership.
- What this page answers
- How each Day Master reads from the other side; which harmonies, clashes, punishments and harms link your pillars; the years each of you changes Luck Pillar.
- What it does not answer
- Whether you will make money, whether you should partner, or whether the other person can be trusted. Those need due diligence, a contract and a real track record.
Six questions worth settling first
1. Who sets direction, and who delivers?
The Ten God between Day Masters is directional: how A reads B and how B reads A may fall into different categories — Direct Officer or Seven Killings, Wealth, Eating God or Hurting Officer. Use it as the opening for a conversation about roles: which decisions one person owns, and which need both.
2. After you agree in the room, where does the split show up?
A Day Master combination is a structural link, not proof of easy agreement. Use it to check whether both people mean the same deliverables, deadlines and responsibilities when they make a verbal agreement.
3. Do your working rhythms fit?
The Day branch reflects day-to-day rhythm. A link between your Day branches does not grade the partnership; it suggests agreeing early on response times, meeting cadence and working hours.
4. How are money and resources split?
Capital, equity, profit share and exit terms belong in a contract. Element counts and Wealth stars cannot say who should receive how much, so this page does not answer that from the chart.
5. Where is the partnership most likely to wear down?
Clashes, punishments and harms are structural labels; they cannot locate real disagreements. Use them as prompts to discuss how you vote when you disagree, who has a veto and how often you review.
6. When should expansion or scaling back be discussed?
Each person’s Luck Pillar change years are fixed shifts. If yours fall close together, agree in advance how you will review direction around that time — as a planning cue, not a prophecy.
What can actually be calculated
- The Ten God in both directions, each labelled with who is reading whom.
- Pillar-by-pillar links — harmonies, half-combinations, clashes, punishments, harms — plus stem combinations and stem clashes.
- How often each person’s favorable elements appear in the other’s known pillars (a count, not a claim that either brings the other wealth).
- The years each of you changes Luck Pillar, and those close together.
- With an unknown birth time, only certain pillars are compared and favorability and luck show as “cannot be determined”.
Three or more partners
Look at each key pair on its own first, then at the overall division of roles. Do not average several pairwise results into one number. Every pair needs both people’s complete details.
Practice, stage by stage
Before signing
- Put roles, decision rights, capital and exit terms in writing and go through them line by line.
- Agree what happens when you disagree: who decides, or who you bring in to break a deadlock.
While working together
- Review regularly whether goals, roles and effort are still balanced; renegotiate when they drift.
- Turn verbal agreements into written ones, especially anything involving money or promises to outsiders.
Growing, adding people, or leaving
- When a new partner joins, revisit every key pair and the division of roles.
- Write exit terms early and follow them when the time comes, not the mood of the moment.
Questions people ask
Can a chart comparison tell me whether to start a business with someone?
No. This page lists calculable correspondences between two charts to help you prepare the right conversations. Ability, reliability and commitment are judged through due diligence, track record and a contract.
My favorable elements appear in their chart. Will they bring me luck with money?
No. That is a count of how often your favorable elements appear in their known pillars — a symbolic correspondence. It does not mean money, resources or luck will flow to anyone.
Our Day branches clash. Is the partnership bound to fail?
No. A clash marks a point of pull, which this page calls “opposing pull”. It suggests agreeing more explicitly on day-to-day working rhythm; it does not predict the outcome.
Does this work for project partners and business collaborators?
Yes. Switch the relationship type on the page. The calculation is the same; the focus of the full report adjusts to the relationship.
What if the other person won’t share their birth time?
Choose “birth time unknown”. The hour pillar and any pillar that could change with the hour are left out, and favorability and luck are not inferred. A birth year or zodiac animal alone is not enough — send an invitation link so they can enter their own details.
What this page does not do
- Forecast profit, valuation or whether the business succeeds.
- Score the partnership or rule on whether you should partner.
- Replace due diligence, contracts, or legal and financial advice.
- Judge anyone’s character from symbolic stars or a single sign.
