Rat and Tiger
Why this score
- Starting point: a neutral pair 5
- Water and Wood: one nourishes the other
- Match score 6/10
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
The element of the Rat feeds that of the Tiger: 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 yang: the same outward drive, but little counterweight for each other.
