What works

Tradition has no verdict on this pairing, which is its own kind of freedom. Whatever the two of you build is genuinely yours, not the working out of a pattern set down a few thousand years ago.

Where it snags

Nothing carries you. There is no automatic loyalty to fall back on when things get dull or difficult, so this pairing goes exactly as far as the effort you put into it.

In the controlling cycle water checks fire, so Pig tends to be the brake on Horse. Useful in small doses, exhausting as a daily arrangement.

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