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 Rooster is Metal. Seen from the Ox: you nourish them (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 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 Ox: Crafts, research, farming, medicine and public service, where expertise is built over many years. 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 Ox 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 Ox nurturing and supporting the Rooster. A Ox parent brings out a Rooster child's talents, and at work a Ox boss who promotes a Rooster colleague works well.
8.When arguments start
The Ox: you can be stubborn and dislike having your pace disturbed. 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 Ox's strong sense of responsibility 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 (Earth and Metal) are in a generating relationship, so simply being yourselves is the best luck charm.
