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 Ox is Earth and the Snake is Fire. Seen from the Ox: they support you (generating 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 Ox: You let love grow slowly over time. Faithful and sincere, you are the kind of partner people stay with for life. The Snake: Devoted and deeply affectionate, you treasure the person you see as your destined partner. Keep possessiveness in check and love lasts. 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 Ox: Crafts, research, farming, medicine and public service, where expertise is built over many years. The Snake: Research, finance, medicine, divination, scholarship and investing, where deep knowledge and insight matter. Divide the work by strengths and you make a strong team.
6.By age difference
The Ox and the Snake 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 nurturing and supporting the Ox. A Snake parent brings out a Ox child's talents, and at work a Snake boss who promotes a Ox colleague works well.
8.When arguments start
The Ox: you can be stubborn and dislike having your pace disturbed. The Snake: you can hold on to things for a long time and feel jealousy strongly. 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 Ox's strong sense of responsibility and the Snake's insight 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 Fire) are in a generating relationship, so simply being yourselves is the best luck charm.
