Chinese Zodiac Clash & Opposition Checker
Shows which zodiac sign directly clashes with another, helping users avoid conflicting partnerships, marriages, or timing based on opposition pairs.
What is Zodiac Clash (Chong)?
In Chinese astrology, Clash (冲 Chong) refers to a direct opposition between two zodiac signs. These are the six pairs that directly oppose each other: Rat–Horse, Ox–Goat, Tiger–Monkey, Rabbit–Rooster, Dragon–Dog, and Snake–Pig.
When two signs clash, they create conflict, tension, and incompatibility. This is considered one of the most serious conflicts in Chinese astrology and is often avoided in important life decisions like marriage, business partnerships, or major timing choices.
The Six Clash Pairs
There are exactly six pairs of zodiac signs that directly clash: Rat clashes with Horse, Ox clashes with Goat, Tiger clashes with Monkey, Rabbit clashes with Rooster, Dragon clashes with Dog, and Snake clashes with Pig. These pairs are 180 degrees apart in the zodiac cycle.
Why Clashes Matter
Clashes represent fundamental incompatibilities. In relationships, clashing signs may have constant conflicts, misunderstandings, and difficulty finding common ground. In timing, clashing years or months may bring challenges and obstacles.
Fun Fact
The clash pairs are positioned exactly opposite each other in the 12-year zodiac cycle. This creates a natural tension and opposition, similar to how opposite signs work in Western astrology, but with more serious implications in Chinese culture.
Understanding Clash Effects
Clashes can affect different areas of life. Understanding these effects helps you make informed decisions about relationships, partnerships, and timing.
Relationship Clashes
In romantic relationships or marriages, clashing signs may experience frequent arguments, misunderstandings, and emotional distance. While not impossible, these relationships require extra effort and understanding to succeed.
Business Partnerships
In business, clashing signs may have conflicting work styles, communication issues, or different priorities. This can lead to disagreements and challenges in collaboration.
Timing Clashes
When important events occur during a clashing year or month, you may face obstacles, delays, or unexpected challenges. Many people avoid major decisions during clashing periods.
Other Conflicts
Beyond direct clashes, there are also 'harm' (害 Hai) and 'punishment' (刑 Xing) relationships that create additional conflicts. These are less severe than clashes but still worth considering.
