Visibility & attraction

Visibility & attraction, traditionally called Dohwa, is a classical folk label for being seen, social spark, and attraction. We show it in yearly luck when a year has your visibility animal. It is a leaning for context, not a romance command or fate.

How this app treats it

Like the three-year cycle and movement labels, dohwa is not drawn from your full four pillars, as yearly themes are. It comes from a single lookup: everyone whose birth animal is in your group of three shares the same visibility animal.

We show it as a traditional time of visibility and connection: social spark or attraction may feel more present. When the theme score also reads active that year, both labels can appear together. They answer different questions, and neither overrides the other.

How we calculate it

One lookup: your birth year animal against the calendar year's animal.

  1. Read your birth year branch: the animal on your year pillar, the same starting point as the three-year cycle and movement labels.
  2. Find which of four three-harmony groups it belongs to. Each group of three animals has a fixed visibility animal, listed below.
  3. When a calendar year has that animal, we show the badge on the yearly row.

Tiger, Horse, Dog

Visibility animal: Rabbit

Monkey, Rat, Dragon

Visibility animal: Rooster

Snake, Rooster, Ox

Visibility animal: Horse

Pig, Rabbit, Goat

Visibility animal: Rat

It reads your chart alone, not a pair, so it is not a compatibility score. It is also separate from the theme score and pillar ease.

Visibility & attraction vs movement & travel

  • Visibility & attraction (Dohwa): checked at the yearly level only.
  • Movement & travel (Yeokma): checked at both the yearly and monthly level, so it can show up more often in a year.

Both come from the same four groups of birth animals. But in every group the visibility animal and the movement animal are different animals, and a calendar year has only one animal. So the two can never badge the same year. If you see both inside one year, the movement one is on a month.
