Who are your helpful friends or enemies

"Helpful friends" (also called "nobleman") are people who are likely to nurture and rescue you when you are in trouble. "Enemies" (also called "mean people" sometimes) here refer to people who may consciously or unconsciously make your life difficult, steal your opportunities or backstabbing you.

A simple method of finding out who are your real friends or enemies is comparing the the Chinese zodiac animal birth signs of you and the potential friends, to see if they "clash", "hai or damage" or "penalize" each other. Below are the check list.

Animal pairs that clash each other 相冲属相:
-- Rat and horse, ox and ram, tiger and monkey, rabbit and rooster, dragon and dog, snake and pig.

Animal pairs that damage each other 相害属相:

-- Rat and ram, ox and horse, tiger and snake, rabbit and dragon, monkey and pig, rooster and dog.

Animal pairs that penalize each other 相刑属相:
-- Rat and rabbit, ox, ram and dog (3-penalities), tiger, money and snake (3-penalties), pig and pig, rooster and rooster, horse and horse, dragon and dragon.

There are folk beliefs that hold:

Dragon and tiger fight 龙与虎会斗
Tiger and tiger fight 一山不容二虎

However, using animal sign to predict who is your pal or enemy is a little simplistic. A more accurate method is using Bazi or 4-Pillars to check which element (metal, wood, water, fire or wood) that your chart needs most. You may need a Bazi reader if you do not know Bazi. Then check the following list:

IF YOUR BAZI CHART:
-- likes metal: monkey and rooster people born in autumn are your "nobleman"
-- dislikes metal: monkey and rooster people born in autumn are your "mean people"

-- likes water: rat and pig people born in winter are your "nobleman"
-- dislikes water: rat and pig people born in winter are your "mean people"

-- likes wood: tiger and rabbit people born in spring are your "nobleman"
-- dislikes wood: tiger and rabbit people born in spring are your "mean people"

-- likes fire: snake and horse people born in summer are your "nobleman"
-- dislikes fire: snake and horse people born in summer are your "mean people"

-- likes wet earth (chen/ chou): dragon and ox people born in 3rd or 12th solar month are your "nobleman"
-- dislikes wet earth (chen/ chou): dragon and ox people born in 3rd or 12th solar month are your "mean people"

-- likes dry earth (wei/ xu): ram and dog people born in 6th or 9th solar month are your "nobleman"
-- dislikes dry earth (chen/ chou): dragon and ox people born in 6th or 12th solar month are your "mean people"
