The classical relation
Break
UnfavourableA relation that undoes what is being built. Weaker than the clash, it wears trust down over time.
Punishment
UnfavourableThe two branches belong to the same punishment cycle. The classical tradition links it to trials and mutual reproach.
These relations come from the tables of the classical Chinese tradition, which link the twelve earthly branches.
The five elements
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).
