The Reading · Secret Friends

Rabbit and Dog 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.

Where it snags

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 controlling cycle wood checks earth, so Rabbit tends to be the brake on Dog. 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.
