Crocodile and Otter
“Dark water, no autopilot, and a very good story afterwards.”
Crocodile and Otter score 38 out of 100: Night Crossing.
Both traditions flag this pairing, which is rare enough to be interesting on its own. Nothing about it is automatic: you two do not naturally agree on pace, priorities, or what counts as a problem. What you do have is the total absence of complacency, and pairs who cross this successfully tend to know exactly why they are together.
Both lights level
The sun and the moon report the same thing about this pairing, so what shows on the surface is what is actually there underneath. Whatever this reading is, it is consistent, and consistency is worth a lot.
Solar Match: Square
Scorpio and Aquarius sit 90 degrees apart: a square.
Ninety degrees of friction, which is also where the heat is.
Lunar Match: The Clash
Dragon and Dog are set opposite by Liu Chong, the six clashes.
Directly opposite on the wheel, six branches apart, pulling against each other by design.
Make it work: Assume nothing is obvious to the other one, because it genuinely isn't. Over-explain, ask instead of guessing, and give the difference room rather than trying to file it down.
