Si-Hai Clash (巳亥冲): Fire vs Water — Meaning and Remedies

Si and Hai clash, Water battles Fire. Si is Bing Fire's prosperity, Hai is Ren Water's prosperity — two peaks face off. Water conquers Fire, so Si Fire takes the first blow. Si holds Bing, Wu, and Geng; Hai holds Ren and Jia — their hidden stems fight, making this the most tangled of the six clashes. Si and Hai are also Traveling Horse branches, so the clash means rushing, moving, and long journeys. A clash in the month or day pillar means marriage with long separations. Check whether it clashes with your useful god or harmful god; Wood bridges the gap, and Si-Shen and Yin-Hai combinations resolve it.
