1.The branch relationship
Half trine (sangō)
Two of the three branches that form a trine of the same element. It is one of the strongest partnerships among the twelve: share a goal and you achieve surprising things together, whether as colleagues, lovers or spouses. (Some schools only count pairs that include a cardinal branch — Rat, Horse, Rabbit or Rooster — as a half trine.)
2.The element relationship
The Goat is Earth and the Pig is Water. Seen from the Goat: you restrain them (controlling cycle).
3.Love and marriage
You warm to each other quickly and friendship easily turns into romance. After marriage you build a stable partnership in which you help each other.
4.How you each love
The Goat: You love to look after your partner and have a soothing presence. Building a calm, stable home makes you happy. The Pig: Once you fall for someone you go straight to them, with no games, just a pure and honest heart. The pull between you is strong and you easily become a couple.
5.Work and friendship
Share a goal and your teamwork is outstanding; clear roles make you even more effective.
Working together
The Goat: Nursing, care work, childcare, art, handicrafts and cooking: work that heals people or calls for careful hands. The Pig: Technical work, sport, emergency services, crafts and research: anything you can throw yourself into. Divide the work by strengths and you make a strong team.
6.By age difference
The Goat and the Pig are 4, 8, 16, 20, 28 years apart (people in the same school year can still have different animals if one was born early in the year). The branch relationship stays the same whatever the age gap.
7.As parent and child, or boss and colleague
In terms of the elements, this pair tends toward the Goat leading and setting the direction for the Pig. A Goat parent or boss is dependable, but too much interference makes the Pig feel cramped. Make a point of handing over responsibility.
8.When arguments start
The Goat: you worry easily and take time to decide. The Pig: once you are convinced, it is hard to stop, and you may stop seeing what is around you. These sides tend to come out when you are tired and stretched. If you start arguing, don't rush to a conclusion; sleep on it and talk again. When you face each other calmly, the Goat's kindness and the Pig's courage and honesty help you both.
9.Tips for getting along
- A shared goal strengthens your bond even more: travel or work on something together.
- Your elements (Earth and Water) are in a controlling relationship. Bringing in Metal, the element that mediates between them (its color is white), smooths things over; this is called tsūkan, “bridging”.

10.Their personalities
Goat: Like sheep living together in a flock, the Goat is gentle and cooperative, and stands for the safety of family and friends.
Pig: In Japan this animal is the wild boar, famous for charging straight ahead. You are a passionate person who heads directly for your goal, and the boar is also a symbol of good health.
