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

In the San He frame Si starts metal, You carries it to its peak and Chou puts it away, so Snake and Rooster occupy consecutive stages of one process — which is why recognition between them is immediate and entirely unsentimental. The Snake plans in silence across long horizons; the Rooster inspects, states the standard aloud and makes people meet it. Neither is moved by charm and both are moved by finished work. What the trine cannot fix is temperature. One of you narrates everything and the other almost nothing, and love notices that gap long before work does.

What works

  • Competence is assumed on both sides, so neither has to perform effort to be taken seriously
  • A Snake will sit on a decision for a whole season, and the Rooster's plain questions get it out
  • Labour divides itself between you with almost no negotiation, which is the trine showing its hand

Where it strains

  • The Rooster assesses aloud and in company; a Snake believes such things are said to a person alone
  • Pride is the shared vice, so an error gets admitted long after admitting it would have helped
  • Snake discretion looks to the Rooster like something withheld, because the Rooster withholds nothing

The one thing to get right

Separate the speaking from the deciding: the Rooster takes what must be said in the open, the Snake takes what must be weighed in private. Say the arrangement out loud instead of each of you quietly assuming it.
