Hehun Compatibility 合婚
合婚 he hun: the Chinese practice of reading two charts together.Two charts in one house. Classical Chinese practice has always read couples this way: compute each person's four pillars separately, then overlay them and watch how the elements behave together.
That's what this does. Each chart is read on its own terms first, so nobody is reduced to a compatibility score, and then the two are laid over each other to show where they fit and where they grate.
The grating part isn't softened. Every friction the overlay finds is stated plainly and paired with what tends to defuse it for these two particular charts.
What is inside
6 sectionsEach of you, read separately first. Both charts on their own terms: day master, element balance, what each person brings.
Where you fit, and where you grate. The overlay, with both patterns described as they look on an ordinary Tuesday.
The friction, named. The specific places these two charts rub, each paired with what tends to defuse it.
What's easy to overlook. Where one chart supplies what the other lacks. The parts that work so quietly you stop crediting them.
How your decades run together. Both sets of luck pillars side by side, and what the next few years favour.
The working, printed. Both charts, every character translated, both solar time corrections documented. Your document closes with a one-page classical appendix: what a traditional practitioner, reading the same charts strictly by the old texts, would have ruled. Unsoftened, clearly framed, and separate from the reading's own guidance.
Friction is named rather than smoothed over, and each place the two charts rub is paired with what tends to defuse it. This reads two charts, never one person’s private feelings about the other.
Who this reading is for
From the listing- two charts in, and after the honest map rather than the flattering one
- not planning to show them this, at least not yet
- ready to be told where you grind, and why that is survivable
- here for the timing: whose decade is turning, and what it asks of the other
- new to BaZi, and starting with the pair rather than with yourself
- in something that works, except for the one thing it keeps doing
- unsure whether the pattern is the two of you, or the season you are in

6 imagesCommon questions
NotesWill this tell me how the other person feels about me?
No. It reads two birth charts against each other and describes how the two patterns behave in the same room. It is not a way to find out what someone privately thinks, and it will not be written that way.
Does it work for same-sex couples?
Yes. The calculation basis sets the direction of the traditional cycle only, it is chosen per person, and the written reading is gender neutral throughout.
How is this different from the Gunghap reading?
Same two charts, different tradition. Hehun is the classical Chinese reading of a pair and works in decades; gunghap is the Korean practice and works in daeun cycles. The sections differ in emphasis rather than in method.
What if I do not know my birth time?
Write unknown. The hour pillar is withheld and the reading says plainly which parts it can and cannot speak to. Nothing is invented to fill the gap.
How is this different from a free chatbot reading?
Ask a chatbot for your chart and it invents one, then invents a different one tomorrow. The chart here is calculated by the same deterministic library every time, and the working is printed in the back so you can check it.
Does a caesarean or induced birth change the chart?
No. The chart is cast from the time you were born, however that happened.

Method and sources
Both charts are computed separately and deterministically, each corrected for true solar time at its own birth longitude, and each is read on its own terms before the overlay is written. The reading is grounded in the classical texts named in the document and reviewed before the file is issued.
