Six Harm pairs
Six Harm is its own six-pair branch set. Its pairings are neither the diameters of Six Clash nor the one-to-one matches of Six Harmony, so the label must remain distinct.

How the inherited set is built
A separate six-pair ledger
The fixed pairs are Rat–Goat, Ox–Horse, Tiger–Snake, Rabbit–Dragon, Monkey–Pig and Rooster–Dog. They come from inherited branch tables, not from animal personality descriptions.
Several Harm pairs also occupy part of a Three Meeting or Punishment group. The pair page retains every match because collapsing them into one label discards information about how the positions were counted.
- What it establishes
- It establishes that two branch coordinates belong to one of the six 六害 pairs and shows the other named sets those same coordinates enter.
- What it does not establish
- It does not establish harm between two people as an outcome. The traditional relation name is a chart category, not evidence of conduct, intent or certainty.
Year, month, day and hour stay distinct
Where Six Harms enters a chart
First name the pillars carrying the branches, then keep Harm beside—not instead of—meeting, punishment, phase and stem evidence. The layer and surrounding chart decide the practical reading.
