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

Money is where this one is settled. The Rooster itemises, keeps receipts and knows to the last coin what the month cost; the Pig rounds up, gives generously and genuinely cannot remember. Nothing in the cycle intervenes either way: You runs with Ox and Snake and pairs secretly with Dragon, while Hai belongs to the Rabbit and Goat trine and holds Tiger as its harmony partner, so neither name appears anywhere on the other's list of allies, clashes or harms. In elemental terms metal feeds water, and that is the shape of it when it goes well — Rooster structure giving Pig generosity somewhere useful to run.

What works

  • A Pig absorbs bluntness better than nearly any sign, so the Rooster need not keep apologising for itself
  • Rooster planning aims the Pig's generosity at people who will actually be helped by receiving it
  • No calendar relation works against you, so whatever goodwill the two of you build simply stays built

Where it strains

  • One of you counts and the other rounds up, which turns any conversation about spending brittle fast
  • The Pig's taste for comfort reads to a Rooster as slackness rather than a considered way to live
  • With nothing structural underneath, a bad stretch has nothing to lean on except the two people in it

The one thing to get right

Write the money rules down while you are both cheerful — a shared ceiling, a private allowance each, no questions below it — and keep one part of the week in which nothing at all is costed, corrected or improved.
