Explanation: There are 12 periods (called Shi-Chen ) during 24 hours in the Traditional Chinese Zodiac, each consisting of 2 hours. Each animal symbol is related to one Shi-Chen period in order.

12 Shi-Chen and 12 animals are:

1. Zi (23:00 to 1:00, i.e. 11 pm to 1 am) and Rat;

2. Chou (1:00 to 3:00, i.e. 1 am to 3 am) and Ox;

3. Yin (3:00 to 5:00, i.e. 3 am to 5 am) and Tiger;

4. Mao (5:00 to 7:00, i.e. 5 am to 7 am) and Rabbit;

5. Chen (7:00 to 9:00, i.e. 7 am to 9 am) and Dragon;

6. Si (9:00 to 11:00, i.e. 9 am to 11 am) and Snake;

7. Wu (11:00 to 13:00, i.e. 11 am to 1 pm) and Horse;

8. Wei (13:00 to 15:00, i.e. 1 pm to 3 pm) and Goat;

9. Shen (15:00 to 17:00, i.e. 3 pm to 5 pm) and Monkey;

10. You (17:00 to 19:00, i.e. 5 pm to 7 pm) and Rooster;

11. Xu (19:00 to 21:00, i.e. 7 pm to 9 pm) and Dog;

12. Hai (21:00 to 23:00, i.e. 9 pm to 11 pm) and Pig.

During the 12 Shi-Chen, one side is more Yin (or more Yang) then its opposite side is more Yang (or more Yin). For example, the Zi period (midnight) is most Yin, the Wu period (noon) is most Yang. Yin and Yang are opposite.

Determining the Opposite (unsuitable) Animals: An animal is rejected by the one on the right opposite site in the Zodiac Circle. Rat and Horse, Ox and Goat, Tiger and Monkey, Rabbit and Rooster, Dragon and Dog, Snake and Pig are all rejected each other.

Determining the Suitable Animals: Select the 3 animals who are evenly spaced from one another in the Zodiac Circle. For example, Rat and Dragon and Monkey (tied by blue arrow line in the circle), Tiger and Horse and Dog (tied by red arrow line in the circle) are suitable one another, and so on.
