Why this score

  1. Starting point: a neutral pair 5
  2. Classical relation: Clash
  3. Same element: Earth
  4. Independent sources call them incompatible
  5. Match score 1.5/10

The score is ours: the classical relation weighs most, the elements and the sources nuance it, yin and yang barely touch it.

The classical relation

Clash

Unfavourable

The two branches face each other across the circle, six places apart. The classical tradition reads it as the most strained relation, one of collisions and sudden change.

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

The five elements

EarthDragon
like
EarthDog

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).

Yin and yang

YangDragon
=
YangDog

Both are yang: the same outward drive, but little counterweight for each other.
