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 Snake is Fire and the Rooster is Metal. Seen from the Snake: 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 Snake: Devoted and deeply affectionate, you treasure the person you see as your destined partner. Keep possessiveness in check and love lasts. The Rooster: Faithful, you expect sincerity in return. You never stop improving yourself, and you are a partner people are proud of. 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 Snake: Research, finance, medicine, divination, scholarship and investing, where deep knowledge and insight matter. The Rooster: Administration, accounting, design, beauty, food and running a shop, where precision and taste count. Divide the work by strengths and you make a strong team.
6.By age difference
The Snake and the Rooster 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 Snake leading and setting the direction for the Rooster. A Snake parent or boss is dependable, but too much interference makes the Rooster feel cramped. Make a point of handing over responsibility.
8.When arguments start
The Snake: you can hold on to things for a long time and feel jealousy strongly. The Rooster: your standards are high and you can fuss over details. 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 Snake's insight and the Rooster's eye for detail and beauty help you both.
9.Tips for getting along
- A shared goal strengthens your bond even more: travel or work on something together.
- Your elements (Fire and Metal) are in a controlling relationship. Bringing in Earth, the element that mediates between them (its color is yellow), smooths things over; this is called tsūkan, “bridging”.
