Scored from the classical Chinese relations — San He, Liu He, Chong and Hai — not from Western sun-sign logic. A full Chinese reading also weighs the year element, the month branch and the hour pillar.

The verdict

Two hours into deciding where to live, and the map is already covered in the Horse's arrows. Wu is the noon branch, fire at its height, the animal that moves before the argument has finished; Chen rises at mid-morning and expects the destination to be worthy of it. Between the two of them the pace matches well and neither takes offence at bluntness. The structural detail worth naming sits outside the pair: the Horse belongs to the Tiger-Horse-Dog trine, and the Dog is the Dragon's direct clash, so the Horse's oldest friends are the people a Dragon finds hardest to spend an evening with. Strain here arrives socially rather than privately.

What works

  • Both act early and correct later, so plans get made at a single agreed speed
  • Horse supplies the actual mileage for journeys a Dragon would only announce
  • Bluntness is not read as rudeness by either, so grievances get aired the same day

Where it strains

  • The Horse's trine allies include the Dragon's clash, straining every shared circle
  • Both burn hot, and neither notices the household quietly running down behind them
  • Horse bolts when penned in, and Dragon reads the sudden exit as a verdict on its worth

The one thing to get right

Agree how you will each handle the Dog-natured people in the Horse's circle before the next gathering, since that pressure comes from outside the pair and will not settle itself.
