The classical relation
Clash
UnfavourableThe 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.
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).
Yin and yang
Both are yin: the same inward pull, but no one to carry the other along.
