Double Si–Hai Clash: What Happens When Two Fire Branches Clash with One Water Branch?

The Double Si–Hai Clash involves two Si (巳) fire branches clashing with one Hai (亥) water branch. You cannot judge the result by counting branches. The first question is which side has greater strength, and the second is whether the affected element helps or harms the chart.

Strength Depends on the Month Branch

Start with the month branch. If Si is the month branch, the Si–Hai Clash causes little harm to the fire. Hai water takes the damage instead.

The result changes when Hai is the month branch. Hai is associated with water and the cold of winter. Even with two Si fire branches against one Hai water branch, the greater number does not decide the clash. The Si fire is still more likely to suffer.

Whether the Clash Helps or Hurts

Next, judge what the chart favors and rejects. Suppose the two Si fire branches clash with Hai water, and the damaged Si fire is favorable to the chart. If the chart also needs fire to adjust its seasonal climate, damage to that fire may be linked with problems involving your mental state, eyes, or heart.

The same clash can help when Si fire is unfavorable. Hai water then checks the fire, which produces a favorable result. But the fire must not become too strong. If it does, Hai water may lack enough strength to hold its position and may suffer damage instead.

Movement in Life

A Si–Hai Clash often brings change. When it appears in the year and month branches of a chart, it can indicate leaving your ancestral home or native place to build a life elsewhere.

If the Si–Hai Clash appears through annual luck or a luck cycle, it may indicate changes in your work or career.
