  5. Match score 9.5/10

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

Triad

Favourable

Both signs belong to the same group of three, gathered around one element. They pursue the same aim and strengthen each other.

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

The five elements

FireHorse
nourishes
EarthDog

The element of the Horse feeds that of the Dog: one supports the other, and energy flows between them on its own.

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

Yin and yang

YangHorse
=
YangDog

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