The classical relation

Break

Unfavourable

A relation that undoes what is being built. Weaker than the clash, it wears trust down over time.

These relations come from the tables of the classical Chinese tradition, which link the twelve earthly branches.

The five elements

EarthOx
like
EarthDragon

Both belong to the same element, Earth: they understand each other by instinct, at the risk of feeding the same excesses.

In the cycle of the five phases, each element nourishes another (Wood feeds Fire) and restrains another (Water restrains Fire).
