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

Each of you misreads the other in a wholly predictable direction. The Rooster believes a remark about the unwashed pans is a remark about pans; the Goat hears an assessment of their character, says nothing, and the Rooster takes the quiet for agreement and continues. Wei and You are bound by nothing in the cycle — different trines, no six harmony, no clash, no harm — so nothing amplifies the damage and nothing repairs it either. At its better, the Rooster runs the accounts and the calendar the Goat cannot face, and the Goat keeps a home the Rooster would otherwise operate as a stock room.

What works

  • Bills get paid and dates get kept, which lifts a weight the Goat has always carried badly
  • A Goat furnishes warmth and a sense of occasion that a Rooster would never think to arrange
  • Nothing has to be deduced from a Rooster's tone, which spares the Goat weeks of private interpretation

Where it strains

  • The Goat hears any correction as the opening move in being rejected, and answers it as such
  • Goats do not argue back, they go quiet, and to a Rooster that quiet reads as consent given
  • With neither trine lending support, every reconciliation after a bad week is done entirely by hand

The one thing to get right

Rooster, attach each criticism to one act on one day and then stop. Goat, reply in plain words the same evening, because a fortnight of silence costs this pairing far more than the argument would have.
