Every species and breed, read
This board seats animals beside people rather than on a page of their own, so an animal here gets the same treatment a person does: a nature, a way trust is built, and the one thing that most reliably breaks it. What it does not get is a birth chart, because it does not have one.
That leaves two halves. The species decides how a companion meets its keeper's birth year. The breed decides what living with it is actually like — how much energy arrives each morning, what it forgives, and what it will not. Every breed below is written for the second half and names the birth years that sit easiest with the first.
A pairing that involves an animal returns a word rather than a percentage. The board's deepest layer reads two inner selves against each other and an animal cannot hold one, so the result is described rather than scored — what is read here is the keeper's birth year against the species, and the breed decides everything about living with it day to day. An animal does get a chart of its own once its birth hour is known, one rung further up.

Where these lead
- What an animal's life is organised around — the six Core Mandates read for a pet, and what each asks of you rather than of the animal.
- The twelve palaces, read for an animal — the layer above species and breed. Once a birth hour is known the chart is cast and the twelve are named for the life an animal is actually living.
- Every birth year — the keeper's half of the reading, one page per year.
- The Twelve Spirit Guardians — the communities themselves, and the elements the table above is computed from.
Frequently asked
- Can a pet be read against its owner's birth year?
- Yes, and it is the only reading a pet needs — a birth year gives the keeper a community and an element, the species gives the animal one, and the two elements meet in the five-element cycle. Nothing about the animal's own birthday is required, which is fortunate, because most people do not know it.
- Do pets get a compatibility percentage?
- No. Any pair involving an animal returns a word rather than a number — a percentage implies the four-layer reading the board runs on two people, and three of those four layers need a birth chart no animal has. Words are the honest output here.
- Which species and breeds are covered?
- Seven species — dog, cat, bird, rabbit, hamster, fish, reptile — and 140 breeds between them, twenty each. Each breed has its own temperament reading, energy band and bond tip, and each species has its own seat in the five-element cycle.
- Does the breed change the reading?
- It changes half of it. The keeper verdict runs on the species element, so every dog breed meets a given birth year the same way. What the breed changes is everything the animal is like to live with day to day — energy, temperament and how trust is built — which is the half you feel.
Seat a companion beside yourself and the rest of the household. A species and a breed is all it needs — the animal does not have to exist yet.
