The Reading · The Clash
Rat and Horse are set opposite by Liu Chong, the six clashes.
Clashes are the loudest pairing in the lunar zodiac and the least boring. You are opposite in the way a crowbar is opposite to a stuck door, and when you are pointed at the same problem it does not stand a chance.
Pointed at each other, the same force goes exactly where you would expect. Clash pairs need a shared project more than most, because without one the only thing left to apply all that energy to is the argument.

Both yang: outward, fast, and expressive, with nobody assigned to the quiet half of the room.
