The verdict
Ask each of them what intelligence is. The Monkey will describe speed: the shortcut found, the rule bent, the improvisation got away with at the last minute. The Rooster will describe accuracy: the figure checked, the flaw caught before anyone else saw it. Both are metal, both sit side by side in the western quarter, and yet no harmony, clash or harm joins Shen to You — each is instead bonded to the other's ally, Monkey to Snake and Rooster to Dragon. Nothing arrives ready-made here, so regard has to be earned by results rather than felt on sight.
What works between Monkey and Rooster
- Neither of them needs their feelings handled before a difficult decision can be taken
- Monkey nerve and Rooster method between them cover the risky end of a job and the dull end
- Disagreement stays attached to the work, since sulking is not in either animal's repertoire
Where Monkey and Rooster strain
- The plan the Rooster is still following is one the Monkey quietly abandoned days ago
- Each files the other's talent under vice: fussing on one side, chancing it on the other
- No bond underlies them, so goodwill has to be built from nothing again after every row about method
The one thing Monkey and Rooster must get right
Split the work by phase rather than by principle. The Monkey takes the opening, the pitch and the improvised recovery; the Rooster takes the checking, the numbers and the close; and whoever owns the phase has the final word inside it.
