The classical relation
Triad
FavourableBoth 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
The element of the Snake feeds that of the Ox: 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
Both are yin: the same inward pull, but no one to carry the other along.
What the sources say
5 independent sources call them compatible.
