How Bazi reads a friendship
Friendship rests on being alike, so the friends score puts the Day Masters first and counts a same-element pair (比和) as the best one.
- Day Masters, 30%: the same element scores highest for friends.
- Year animals (年支), 20%: generation, social circle and shared style count double.
- Cross links, 20%: how easily conversation flows.
- Friend star (比劫): is your friend your 比肩 or 劫財?
The spouse palaces count only 10%: between friends they describe how a long trip together would feel.
Best friends and difficult friends: the Day Master pairings
Same element (比和): instant understanding, the classic best-friend pairing. Feeding (相生): one supports, one inspires, a loyal friendship. Combining (干合): a strong pull, often a friend you meet again and again. Checking (相剋) or clashing (干沖): sharp, honest friends who push each other, best in small doses.
The chart below scores all 100 Day Master pairs the friends way. Find your pair, then look at the full comparison above: the year animals and cross links can change the picture.
Best friend or good friend?
Bazi has no single best-friend star, but three signs show up again and again between close friends: Day Masters of the same element, month pillars that combine (shared values), and a high element exchange, so time together leaves you both energized.
A friend who is your Rob Wealth (劫財) is close but competitive: you may like the same things and the same people. Naming the rivalry out loud usually defuses it.
Getting on better with a friend
Use the result as a guide to each other's style. If you organize them (they read as your Wealth), ask what they want to do. If they keep you honest (Officer), hear the care in it. If your year animals clash, plan around your different rhythms rather than expecting the same pace.
