The Reading · Triangle of Affinity
Goat and Pig are tied by San He, the three harmonies.
Goat and Pig are natural allies and this is the least effortful pairing in the cycle. Neither of you is competitive, neither keeps score, and neither has ever much cared about getting ahead of anybody. Pig stopped to eat and fell asleep and finished anyway; Goat got there on somebody else's raft; and both of you are entirely at peace with how that sounds. What you make together is comfortable, generous and open, and the pleasure you take in ordinary things, food, company, an afternoon with nothing in it, is not a small basis for a life. It is a good deal more durable than it looks.
Nobody is asked to be sharper or more ambitious than they are. Pig's steadiness settles Goat's anxiety better than reassurance does, largely by never treating it as a crisis, and Goat's imagination gives Pig's contentment something to do. Both of you are kind by default, both forgive without keeping any record, and there is no cruelty available in this pairing at all.
Nobody drives anything. Two people this accommodating will tolerate a bad situation for years rather than force the change, and the practical costs, money above all, accumulate steadily while both of you decline to raise it. You also indulge each other: whatever the other one's weakness is, spending, drinking, avoiding, neither of you will be the one to name it. And when a decision genuinely has to be made, both of you will wait for the other.
In the controlling cycle earth checks water, so Goat tends to be the brake on Pig. Useful in small doses, exhausting as a daily arrangement.
Both yin: inward, receptive, and observant, which is restful until something needs saying out loud.
