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
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 Dragon tempers that of the Rat: one keeps the other in check, fruitful while it stays respectful, heavy once it turns into control.
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 yang: the same outward drive, but little counterweight for each other.
