1.The branch relationship
There is no special branch relationship (trine, harmony or clash) between the Rabbit and the Monkey. In the five elements, though, the Monkey (Metal) restrains the Rabbit (Wood), so different ways of thinking can collide. Respect each other's pace and the relationship settles.
2.The element relationship
The Rabbit is Wood and the Monkey is Metal. Seen from the Rabbit: they restrain you (controlling cycle).
3.Love and marriage
Love grows slowly as you get closer. A shared hobby or goal brings you much closer together.
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 Monkey: You love having fun and are drawn to people you can talk with for hours. Putting your sincerity into words deepens trust. You can build trust calmly over time.
5.Work and friendship
You respect each other's territory. Careful reporting, updating and consulting builds trust.
Working together
The Rabbit: Hospitality, beauty, design, care work and teaching, where a soft touch and good taste count. The Monkey: Planning, PR, IT, engineering, entertainment and teaching, where ideas and dexterity count. Divide the work by strengths and you make a strong team.
6.By age difference
The Rabbit and the Monkey 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 Monkey leading and setting the direction for the Rabbit. A Monkey parent or boss is dependable, but too much interference makes the Rabbit 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 Monkey: you get bored quickly and risk becoming a jack of all trades. 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 Monkey's adaptability help you both.
9.Tips for getting along
- Your elements (Wood and Metal) are in a controlling relationship. Bringing in Water, the element that mediates between them (its color is black or navy), smooths things over; this is called tsūkan, “bridging”.
