Thirty pairings · 1948–2043

Birth year compatibility

Two birth years, read against each other. The community each year belongs to fixes the branch relation — one of the four below — and the year's own element pillar decides how that relation actually lands, which is why one pairing is a range of readings rather than a single verdict.

Thirty pairings have a page. The other forty-eight combinations of communities are neutral orbits or two people of the same community, and there the relation is the whole reading — a line in a table on each birth year's own page rather than a page pretending to more.

These readings are the first of the board's four layers — the birth years alone — and it carries weight 0.30 of the result. The other three read the two charts rather than the two communities, so a strong or difficult year layer is where a reading starts, not where it lands.

Secret friends

Six pairings, and the strongest one-to-one bonds in the system. Each of these two communities supplies precisely what the other does not have, which is a different thing from getting along easily.

Three-Harmony allies

Twelve pairings across four groups of three. A trine is temperamental agreement rather than complement — these communities recognise each other immediately and share the same blind spot.

Opposing axis

Six pairings, directly opposite on the wheel. A clash is not a weak bond; it is a loud one between two communities that want incompatible things at the same speed, and it is workable on stated terms.

Harm pairing

Six pairings that wear rather than collide. Nothing here produces an argument worth having, which is exactly what makes a harm pairing harder to notice and harder to repair than a clash.

These thirty pages read two communities. The board reads two people — the year pillars are the first of four layers, and the other three read the charts themselves.
