On this page
1.The branch relationship
Clash (chū)
You sit directly opposite each other on the circle of twelve. You attract and collide at the same time. Your differences can be confusing, but this partner has what you lack and widens your view enormously.
Punishment (kei)
You tend to be hard on each other and friction comes easily. Agree on distance and ground rules early, and the tension can turn into a productive one.
2.The element relationship
The Ox is Earth and the Goat is Earth. You share the same element, an easy, like-minded match.
3.Love and marriage
The initial attraction is strong, but different values can lead to clashes. Enjoy your differences and keep talking, and they turn into a deep bond.
4.How you each love
The Ox: You let love grow slowly over time. Faithful and sincere, you are the kind of partner people stay with for life. The Goat: You love to look after your partner and have a soothing presence. Building a calm, stable home makes you happy. You may be puzzled by each other at first, but your differences can become your charm. Make a point of giving way to each other and the relationship deepens.
5.Work and friendship
Your strengths are very different, so if you complement each other you make a strong pair. When you disagree, bringing in a third person helps.
Working together
The Ox: Crafts, research, farming, medicine and public service, where expertise is built over many years. The Goat: Nursing, care work, childcare, art, handicrafts and cooking: work that heals people or calls for careful hands. Divide the work by strengths and you make a strong team.
6.By age difference
The Ox and the Goat are 6, 18, 30 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 two equals side by side. Whether parent and child or boss and colleague, you easily talk like friends. Make roles clear only when it really matters.
8.When arguments start
The Ox: you can be stubborn and dislike having your pace disturbed. The Goat: you worry easily and take time to decide. These sides tend to come out when your opinions collide head on. If you start arguing, don't rush to a conclusion; sleep on it and talk again. When you face each other calmly, the Ox's strong sense of responsibility and the Goat's kindness help you both.
9.Tips for getting along
- Don't try to change each other; turn your differences into a division of roles.
- Respect each other's time alone and personal space.
- Your elements (Earth and Earth) are the same, so simply being yourselves is the best luck charm.
