Why this score

  1. Starting point: a neutral pair 5
  2. Wood and Fire: one nourishes the other
  3. Independent sources call them incompatible
  4. Match score 5.5/10

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

The tradition neither binds nor opposes them: none of the six classical relations links these two branches. Their match is read mostly in their elements and their yin and yang.

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

The five elements

WoodRabbit
nourishes
FireSnake

The element of the Rabbit feeds that of the Snake: 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

=
YinSnake

Both are yin: the same inward pull, but no one to carry the other along.
