The Dragon is in the same triple-harmony group as the year's branch Thân. Tradition reads this as favourable.
Some books also consider Phá (break) and Hình (punishment) with Thái Tuế, but sources disagree so they are not listed here.
The Dragon is not in Tam Tai this year. The Tam Tai years of this group are: Dần, Mão, Thìn.
