When evaluating Tiger (寅) and Monkey (申) in authentic Four-Pillar synastry (合婚), classical practitioners inspect which natal palace hosts the 寅–申 vector (Direct Meridian Clash (六冲) · 寅申六冲). 寅 governs the 1st Lunar Month (Start of Spring · 立春) command (03:00 – 04:59 (Dawn Threshold), East-Northeast (60°), Six-Harmony ally Pig 亥), whereas 申 anchors the 7th Lunar Month (Start of Autumn · 立秋) command (15:00 – 16:59, West-Southwest (240°), Six-Harmony ally Snake 巳).
Across the 12-branch ecliptic wheel, 寅 (#3) and 申 (#9) sit 6 steps apart, creating a 62% baseline resonance between Yang Wood (Yin Tiger (寅虎) — The Vernal Sovereign & Furnace of Fire) and Yang Metal (Shen Monkey (申猴) — The Polymath Engineer & Glacial Source).
