Which signs match the Pig?
In the branch tables SPYLL's calculator uses, the Pig's six-harmony (六合) partner is the Tiger, and it shares a three-harmony (三合) group with the Rabbit and Goat. These pairs tend to cooperate easily. For a couple, the year sign is one of eight characters in each chart, so compare the full charts before reading much into it.
Which sign does the Pig clash with?
The Pig clashes (冲) with the Snake: the two sit opposite each other in the twelve-branch cycle. It also has a harm (害) relation with the Monkey, and a self-punishment (自刑) when two Pigs meet. A clash describes friction worth noticing, such as different rhythms or priorities, not a reason to avoid anyone.
