These numbers are our comparison scale, not probabilities or percentages from a classical text. Each dimension starts at 55. The table shows the adjustment for the selected branch relationship.
Selected rule: Liu He, Six Harmony (六合). Fixed-element relation: Generating. Xing flag: No.
| Rule | Romance | Friendship | Business |
|---|---|---|---|
| Liu He, Six Harmony (六合) | +38 | +32 | +28 |
Fixed animal elements add 8 (generating), 4 (same) or −6 (controlling), reduced to 35% for harmony, clash or harm relations. A Xing flag subtracts 10/8/12. Each score is rounded and limited to 15–98; the overall score is their rounded average.
| Rule | Romance | Friendship | Business |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base | 55 | 55 | 55 |
| Branch adjustment | 38 | 32 | 28 |
| Element adjustment | 2.8 | 2.8 | 2.8 |
| Xing adjustment | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Total before rounding | 95.8 | 89.8 | 85.8 |
| Rounded to the nearest integer | 96 | 90 | 86 |
| After the 15–98 limits | 96 | 90 | 86 |
Overall: (96 + 90 + 86) / 3 = 90.67. Rounded and limited to 15–98: 91/100.
The checker uses animal-associated elements, not the changing element of your birth year. Two signs in a San He group do not constitute a complete three-branch formation.

No. A score of 91/100 is not a 91% chance of a successful marriage. The classical source identifies branch relationships; this site assigns the numbers. Birth-year elements, month, day and hour pillars are outside this comparison.
We analyze the earthly branch relations between two signs, San He (trine alliance), Liu He (six harmony), Liu Chong (clash), Liu Hai (harm), and Xing (punishment), then adjust for the fixed five-element association of each animal. Romance, friendship, and business scores weight these factors differently.
