The Reading · Secret Friends

Horse and Goat are paired by Liu He, the six harmonies.

What works

The six harmonies are the pairs tradition considers quietly unbreakable. On paper you look like an odd fit, and in practice you cover for each other with an instinct neither of you can really explain.

This bond makes excuses for itself. Because loyalty comes so easily, real problems can go unnamed for a very long time on the grounds that you are fine, obviously, you are always fine.

In the generating cycle fire feeds earth, so Horse supplies what Goat runs on. That direction is worth knowing: the giving here is not symmetrical.

One yang, one yin: one of you moves first and the other reads the room, which is the oldest working arrangement there is.
