CHINESE ZODIAC MATCH FAQ

What does the Rat and Snake score mean?+
This is a fixed reference index for the Zi and Si birth-year branch relation. It compares pages in this zodiac series; it is not a success probability and does not read either full Bazi chart.
Is Chinese Zodiac compatibility the same as Bazi compatibility?+
No. Zodiac compatibility uses the birth year only. Full Bazi compatibility compares the year, month, day, and hour pillars, plus Five Elements, Day Master dynamics, spouse palace signals, and useful-element balance.
Does a difficult zodiac pairing mean the relationship cannot work?+
No. The zodiac layer is an initial signal, not a final verdict. Real compatibility also depends on the full birth charts, maturity, communication style, and practical choices.
How can I get a deeper relationship reading?+
Use the full compatibility calculator with both birth dates and times to generate a Bazi-based match score, then unlock the AI compatibility report if you want a detailed interpretation.

THE ZODIAC IS ONE YEAR-BRANCH LAYER

A zodiac sign supplies one birth-year branch. A full Bazi comparison can also examine both people's year, month, day, and hour pillars, but it remains a traditional cultural analysis rather than a relationship guarantee.
