On this page
1.The branch relationship
Six harmonies (shigō)
A natural pull, like two magnets. You feel safe together and understand each other without words, so this bond tends to last.
2.The element relationship
The Rabbit is Wood and the Dog is Earth. Seen from the Rabbit: 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 Rabbit: A romantic at heart, you prefer a gentle, peaceful kind of love and are happiest with someone who makes you feel safe. The Dog: Sincere and devoted, you give unwavering love once you have opened your 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 Rabbit: Hospitality, beauty, design, care work and teaching, where a soft touch and good taste count. The Dog: Police, law, medicine, security, education and social work: protecting people and living up to their trust. Divide the work by strengths and you make a strong team.
6.By age difference
The Rabbit and the Dog are 5, 7, 17, 19, 29 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 Rabbit leading and setting the direction for the Dog. A Rabbit parent or boss is dependable, but too much interference makes the Dog feel cramped. Make a point of handing over responsibility.
8.When arguments start
The Rabbit: you can be timid and put off decisions, and sometimes you simply run away from unpleasant things. The Dog: you are wary of strangers and can take time to warm up. 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 Rabbit's calm grace and the Dog's sincerity help you both.
9.Tips for getting along
- A shared goal strengthens your bond even more: travel or work on something together.
- Your elements (Wood and Earth) are in a controlling relationship. Bringing in Fire, the element that mediates between them (its color is red), smooths things over; this is called tsūkan, “bridging”.
