Snake and Horse
Why this score
- Starting point: a neutral pair 5
- Same element: Fire
- Complementary yin and yang
- 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
Both belong to the same element, Fire: 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
The sign of the Horse is yang, the sign of the Snake is yin: they complete each other, one reaches out while the other takes in.
