Three Meetings seasonal groups
Three Meetings are four runs of three neighbouring branches: spring, summer, autumn and winter. The sequence is seasonal and consecutive, unlike the four-place geometry of a Three Harmony trine.

The complete Three Meetings ledger
Open any linked pair for its phases, trines, branch distance, month, hour and direction. Group relations keep all members visible even when only two were selected.
- 01
spring · Wood
Spring meeting
寅 · 卯 · 辰 are three consecutive branch positions carrying the spring sequence toward Wood. All three complete the meeting; either pair only locates part of it.
Canonical pair readings
Also present among these pairs: Six Harm.
- 02
summer · Fire
Summer meeting
巳 · 午 · 未 are three consecutive branch positions carrying the summer sequence toward Fire. All three complete the meeting; either pair only locates part of it.
Canonical pair readings
Also present among these pairs: Six Harmony.
- 03
autumn · Metal
Autumn meeting
申 · 酉 · 戌 are three consecutive branch positions carrying the autumn sequence toward Metal. All three complete the meeting; either pair only locates part of it.
Canonical pair readings
Also present among these pairs: Six Harm.

winter · Water
Winter meeting
亥 · 子 · 丑 are three consecutive branch positions carrying the winter sequence toward Water. All three complete the meeting; either pair only locates part of it.
How the inherited set is built
Three neighbours complete one season
Each group occupies three consecutive branch positions: Tiger–Rabbit–Dragon for spring, Snake–Horse–Goat for summer, Monkey–Rooster–Dog for autumn, and Pig–Rat–Ox across the end of the circle for winter.
Two selected animals can identify part of a meeting, but the full 三会 group needs all three branches. Pair pages therefore print the missing member instead of treating a partial set as complete.
- What it establishes
- It establishes membership in one consecutive seasonal run and the phase assigned to that completed three-branch meeting.
- What it does not establish
- It is not a Three Harmony trine and does not by itself say that two people are compatible. The branches can also carry harm, punishment or another relation at the same time.
Year, month, day and hour stay distinct
Where Three Meetings enters a chart
Read the group across all four pillars rather than only the birth-year animals. A meeting may be assembled within one chart or across two charts, and the number of present members changes what is actually complete.
Phase names on this page use the same generating and controlling system described in the Five Phases reference.
