Why this score

  1. Starting point: a neutral pair 5
  2. Wood and Earth: one restrains the other
  3. Independent sources call them compatible
  4. Match score 4.5/10

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

WoodTiger
restrains
EarthDragon

The element of the Tiger tempers that of the Dragon: 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.
