The classical relation
Break
UnfavourableA relation that undoes what is being built. Weaker than the clash, it wears trust down over time.
These relations come from the tables of the classical Chinese tradition, which link the twelve earthly branches.
The five elements
The element of the Rooster feeds that of the Rat: 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
